Revv Introduces Advanced Flight Simulator at Aurora Municipal Airport

Enhancing Flight Training Capabilities and Accessibility to Aviation

Aurora, IL — Oct. 17, 2024 — Revv Aviation is pleased to announce the arrival of a state-of-the-art Redbird FMX flight simulator at the Aurora Municipal Airport. 

The Redbird FMX is a full-motion, FAA-approved Advanced Aviation Training Device designed to offer a highly realistic flight experience. Its configurable cockpit allows students to practice in a variety of aircraft models, making it suitable for beginner pilots all the way to those pursuing multi-engine or commercial certifications. With wrap-around visuals and a fully immersive environment, the simulator delivers an experience that closely mirrors actual flight.

“This addition of the simulator allows us to offer enhanced, affordable, and flexible training options,” says Jerome Howard, Revv Aviation’s VP of Flight Training and Chief Flight Instructor. “Our students will be able to safely practice challenging maneuvers and scenarios, giving them confidence and critical experience before taking to the skies.”

The simulator will provide numerous benefits for Revv Aviation students. By utilizing the Redbird FMX, students can perform advanced flight maneuvers, emergency procedures, and instrument training, all in a controlled and safe environment. This not only helps build a higher level of proficiency but also enables a more cost-effective approach to flight training. The FMX helps students reduce in-flight training hours, while maximizing learning through repetition and tailored practice sessions, ultimately saving time and money.

Incorporating this simulator also aligns with Revv’s mission to introduce aviation to more people. The Redbird FMX offers students flexibility in training, regardless of weather conditions, and provides a faster pathway to certification by allowing them to practice flight skills without the logistical constraints of traditional aircraft training. For those who may face financial or time limitations, this is a game-changer.

“We’re excited to offer more options for those who are passionate or interested in aviation,” adds Howard. “The FMX will help us support a broader range of students, from those pursuing a professional career to hobbyists, by making high-quality training tools available to everyone.”

As Revv Aviation continues to invest in the future of flight training, the introduction of the Redbird FMX simulator is a key step forward in expanding training capabilities and helping more people pursue a career in aviation.
