What the flying or aviation students can do during bad weather is to stay indoor and ride on a flight simulator to practise your flights. Northstar Aviation has shown off two new Redbird flight simulators, which cost a combined $175,000 and provide the amazingly realistic experience to those who can’t fly outside due to bad weather.
The dash in the simulator replicates those in real airplanes and can be switched out to imitate different types of planes. Inside you get full details of what a cockpit has. Such as headsets for communicating with the virtual towers, wrap-around winshield that shows the realistic views of cities and landscapes and they can be switched by simply strokes of buttons on a laptop.
