Redbird Flight, makers of a line of popular flight simulators, will host its inaugural Pilot Proficiency Challenge at Oshkosh AirVenture, which kicks off on July 25th at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The contest will measure pilot improvement over the course of 90 days, as measured by the company’s Redbird Pro performance tracking and AI mentoring app. The challenge works like this: While at AirVenture, pilots who finish a training session on a Redbird sim will be automatically entered into the challenge. Pilots will then have the next three months to improve their flying proficiency using Redbird Pro as part of their subscription. Along the way, the company will be publishing a leaderboard so participating pilots can keep track of their contest rank. At the end of the challenge, the most improved pilot will win; Redbird will announce the winner on November 1st, 2022. The winner will get a Redbird TD2 home sim setup that Redbird says is worth more than $12,000. For more information, you can check out Redbird’s Challenge site.
