The Redbird TD2 simulator at Great Basin Aviation is more than just a training tool, it’s a smart way to sharpen your skills and reduce overall flight training costs. As an FAA-approved Basic Aviation Training Device (BATD), the TD2 can be configured to simulate both traditional steam gauge panels and Garmin G1000 avionics. It also allows for multiple aircraft setups, from fixed-pitch, fixed-gear trainers to more complex configurations with retractable gear and constant-speed props, all without burning a drop of fuel.
While every session may be loggable, the simulator is only approved for certain flight training and instrument proficiency tasks, see a CFI for current logging requirements. It’s a great tool for learning new procedures, practicing emergency scenarios, or refining your instrument skills in a safe, low-pressure environment.
Our instructors are highly experienced in using the Redbird to complement your training. Whether you’re just starting out or working toward your next rating, ask us how simulator integration can save you time, build confidence, and make your training more cost-effective.
