A Modern Approach to Accelerated Training
Time and money are two primary reasons pilots put off earning new ratings. IFR6 needed a way to differentiate its instrument training program by reducing those two obstacles. If it could increase the efficiency of student learning, the flight school could drive more business through its doors.
How IFR6 Increased Revenue While Helping Pilots Get an Instrument Rating in Six Days
IFR6 acquired a Redbird FMX and two Redbird SD training devices to provide effective flight instruction. For instrument instruction, in particular, IFR6 has found that repetitive practice is critical to efficient learning, and the Redbird devices are the best tools to facilitate this type of training.
With the Redbird devices in its fleet, most basic instruction at IFR6 occurs in the simulated world instead of an airplane. Each student has a CFII and flight simulator dedicated specifically to their training. Students work with instructors every morning in the Redbird devices, concentrating on a few specific tasks until they can do them without thinking. Only then do they get in the airplane to complete a long cross-country trip in the afternoon.
The Redbird FMX and SD are certified as Advanced Aviation Training Devices (AATDs), which means that students can use them to log 20 hours toward their instrument rating and experience high-fidelity simulation no matter the objective of a flight.
