Redbird MCX Simulator

Technology Meets Real-World Experience

Flying involves risks, but great pilots prepare for them. At AlphaFlight, our Redbird MCX Flight Simulator helps you log valuable training hours, simulating real-world scenarios to sharpen your skills. You’ll also get hands-on experience with the latest flight deck technology, ensuring you’re always ready for what’s next.

Simulator Benefits

Our Redbird Flight Simulator is an innovative training tool designed to increase your proficiency as a pilot. The Simulator is a necessary, yet fun complement to in-person flight training. Time spent in the simulator turns your practice into an enjoyable part of your training rather than another to-do on the list.

Controlled Environment

Conditions not right for flying? Need more time to learn a skill like slow flight or ILS approaches? Build on your existing knowledge and sharpen your skills with the virtual flight deck, all in a controlled setting.

Navigate No Matter the Weather

Several weather conditions can be simulated within one session. You’ll see how you react in the best of conditions. You’ll learn to make quick decisions so you’ll be ready if an emergency happens in real life.

Beyond the Flight Deck

You’ll get more information on important topics, then you can test your knowledge with a quiz or simulation.

Advanced Conditions

Improve your skills by learning to fly under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).

Practice, Practice, Practice

Visualize real-life scenarios while sitting in the simulated flight deck. Your sessions are recorded to show you your progress and the areas where you might need improvement. Plus, training is maximized by the ability to freeze and reset. This also translates to a cost advantage.

Get Started

At AlphaFlight we combine standardized instruction with real world experience backed by decades of flying for the military and for commercial airlines. Then we add in the advanced technology today’s pilots need to know about flight safety and problem solving.

Q & A.

What is the Redbird MCX, and how is it used in flight training?

The Redbird MCX is a full-motion, FAA-approved Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) designed to replicate real-world flight experiences. It features dual yoke controls, advanced avionics, and realistic motion to provide an immersive training environment. It’s used for scenarios like instrument training, emergency procedures, and proficiency checks, offering a safe, cost-effective way to practice complex maneuvers and decision-making.

Can time in the Redbird MCX count toward my flight training hours?

Yes! The Redbird MCX is FAA-approved, so time logged in the simulator can count toward your flight training requirements, including instrument rating and recency of experience. For example, you can log up to 20 hours in the MCX toward your instrument rating, reducing the cost and time needed to complete your training.

What are the advantages of training in the Redbird MCX simulator?

The Redbird MCX allows you to train in a controlled, stress-free environment without the limitations of weather or air traffic. It’s perfect for mastering challenging scenarios like IFR approaches, crosswind landings, and emergency procedures. Plus, it’s more affordable than flying an aircraft, making it an efficient way to sharpen your skills and meet your training goals.
