The Redbird TD2 takes the advanced flight training tools found on our large simulators and puts them in a desktop device. Whether you are a flight school interested in enhancing your training with flight simulation, or an individual pilot looking to hone your skills and stay current from the comfort of your home or office, the Redbird TD2 is the perfect solution.
With its impressive range of features and training tools, it’s no surprise that the TD2 has been FAA approved as a Basic Aviation Training Device. The Redbird TD2 represents a generic single-engine piston aircraft. It is available in either glass or steam gauge configurations. With the TD2, you can choose to fly with or without retractable landing gear, constant speed propeller, and/or a high-performance engine.
Every purchase of a TD2 includes our professional-grade Alloy RD1 rudder pedals — giving you everything you need to supplement your flight training and stay instrument current.

Ergonomically Correct Design
The Redbird TD2 is the first table-mounted flight training device, designed with the ergonomics of flight in mind. Traditional “desktop” flight training devices sit on top of a table or desk, causing the pilot to reach up for the yoke and to look unrealistically high for the gauges. The TD2’s unique mounting system allows it to be hung under the table, placing the yoke, switches, gauges and visuals in the correct and most realistic position for the pilot.
Loggable Time, Valuable Training
We are firm believers in simulation-centric training and we know the value of the TD2 far outpaces the loggable hours, at the end of the day, we all want credit for our work. That’s why we made sure the TD2 can be certified in just about any country. The FAA has approved it as a Basic Aviation Training Device and over 20 other authorities recognize the value of training in the FMX. Want more details about certification? We’ve got you covered.
