Simulator Training

The Redbird TD2 simulator is a Basic Aviation Training Device that has the ability to represent a traditional 'steam gauge' cockpit or a G1000. It also can fly as a fixed pitch, fixed gear aircraft or be configured with retractable gear and a constant speed prop. This simulator is approved for use in flight training and instrument proficiency. Talk to us today about integrating the Redbird into your learning and proficiency needs. Great Basin Aviation has instructors with experience and expertise with the integration of these amazing tools into flight training. ​

Alpha Speech
​
​Great Basin Aviation is proud to partner with Alpha-Speech to help ensure pilot candidates are always understood when speaking with Air Traffic Control. Alpha-Speech is a trailblazing practice that utilizes patent-pending speech therapy techniques to assist pilots with verbal communications while speaking via radio intercom systems. Per international mandates and laws endorsed by the Federal Aviation Administration, pilots are required to speak intelligibly for their own safety and the safety of the flight crew and passengers. The voice of one pilot speaks for hundreds of passengers. 
Dr. Katie Pierson works exclusively with aerospace professionals to ensure their individual way of speaking does not interfere with their professional ambitions and dreams. If you need assistance or have been flagged by your CFI, DPE, or FAA as requiring pronunciation education, Dr. Pierson would be happy to assist you. 

Lease-Backs

Great Basin Aviation offers great aircraft leaseback programs. If you are an aircraft owner and you desire to offset your ownership costs while maintaining full control of your airplane, Great Basin Aviation can help. We can also help if you need assistance finding and purchasing a quality aircraft. 
We set up a customized aircraft leaseback program that meets individual needs. You dictate the terms and we abide by your rules. You set the criteria for rental, such as: rates, PIC time required, types of use and/or any other restrictions.
You still fly your airplane on your schedule however you minimize your fixed and variable costs by renting it out to other qualified pilots when you don't need it. It is a win/win/win proposition: 1. Great Basin Aviation wins by having more diverse aircraft available to rent; 2. Renters win by having a greater selection of aircraft to choose from; 3. You win by reducing your costs of ownership, while retaining the benefits of airplane ownership.
