While at the Redbird Migration 2012, ANN CEO and Editor-In-Chief, Jim Campbell, meets up with Todd Willinger, the CEO for Redbird Flight Simulations. In this video we find out that Redbird is moving beyond building basic simulators for general aviation. While they have been innovators in developing cost effective simulator training at the primary level, they are now developing airplane specific simulators.
The setting for this conversation is in the prototype simulator for the King Air 350, and Willinger explains they are creating other simulators specifically for certain airplanes. He says that developing type-specific simulators adds the additional need for type-specific systems operation as well as flying characteristics. Willinger says this poses additional challenges.
In this video, Willinger says these type-specific simulators are aimed primarily at recurrent training, but now they are moving into simulator designs that can qualify for certification for primary training. This video provides an interesting insight to how simulators are conceived and designed. As the video progresses you get an interesting view of the technology that goes into the simulators that are reducing costs and increasing safety.
