WHAT IT DOESN'T DO
If you've flown the SimTrain full motion SIM, you've been in a high end SIM which is
absolutely fantastic. However, it is also expensive (to operate and rent). The SimTrain has the actual cockpit
and avionics. The Redbird is fully simulated. What that means is that not all the functions of the avionics are
available. The Redbird SIM will allow you to do all the basic functions and practice procedures and emergencies at about
half the price! You'll find it's an excellent training platform and fun.
Regarding CAPS--no, it doesn't have a CAPS handle (yet)
but we will practice CAPS pull scenarios and "go for the handle"
