Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Flight Training Recommendation



That's great but are they doing anything for the sport pilots? Good luck with your training.

Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Flight Training Recommendation

My wife is currently training for her private certificate at Redbird Skyport in San Marcos, Texas. After accruing just 12 hours in almost a year in Coeur d'Alene, we drove our RV down here so that she could take an accelerated course. The 141 flight school is a subsidiary of Redbird Simulators and just opened last November. The new facility is absolutely remarkable with four advanced full motion simulators a student can use for free. Several G-1000 sims, several communications trainers and a very cool crosswind sim. There is a fleet of brand new G-1000 equipped 172 SPs and a policy in place that the 172s are replaced at 1000 hours.

The field has a control tower and very light traffic, great year-around weather and it appears to me to be the perfect place to learn to fly or get an advanced rating. There are some remarkable benefits to flying the sims at no cost and the PPC is guaranteed for $9500. I'm doing a G-1000 transition, some refresher time and a BFR. We'll both come back later in the year and do our instrument training.

The Redbird sim outfit is one of the few aviation businesses that is remarkable successful these days and they don't mind spending some of their cash on their great flight school. Our goal is to fly an RV-10 around the world next year behind a DeltaHawk XP V-4 diesel and we're very glad to have found Redbird Skyport.
