Here at Coast Flight Training and Management we use our Redbird Full Motion Simulator as an integral part of our training. The Redbird is an Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) and can be logged as flight time for most licenses, ratings and proficiency training.
Our simulator training programs have been designed and implemented under the guidance of a 40-year aviation veteran. During his career, Jeff Bushnell has been in charge of developing and operating simulator programs for both the Air Force and the airline industry. We have incorporated the same methodology to make our simulator training programs the most advanced in civil aviation.
Usage of our full motion simulator during the private pilot license and the instrument rating can increase the effectiveness of training while also lowering costs.
At Coast Flight Training, we maximize the training potential of our full motion simulator through advanced training programs. The 1-Day IFR refresher keeps your IFR skills sharp. In our 1-Day IFR refresher course you will experience advanced IFR currency training that not only covers the basics, but also introduces advanced training.

Whether training for fun or for a career, Coast can help you find the best financing available today.
