EAA Pilot Proficiency Center
Training for Every Pilot
EAA and Redbird have joined forces this year at the Pilot Proficiency Center to provide training options that fit every experience level and schedule. We've built a training catalog that includes:
- Full-day VFR & IFR refreshers for active pilots looking to sharpen their skills.
- Ad-hoc simulator sessions for pilots that want to get a taste of sim training while still getting the full Oshkosh experience*
- A first of it's kind Rusty Pilots + Redbird Sim Course powered by AOPA to help get you back in the cockpit*
- Dedicated sim sessions and presentations to show you how to get into backcountry flying*
- A Right Seat Ready course for spouses that includes hands-on training in the Redbird sims*
*Registration for these training sessions will open in the coming weeks.
