Established in the last quarter of 2018, Sky Aerial Services is pleased to introduce its acquisition of a full motion Flight Training Device to all aviation enthusiasts of the greater Helderberg community.

Sky Aerial Services aspires to provide a safe, quiet and accessible convenient Aviation centre within the Somerset West community that are accessible to the general public and our valued high school learners.

About the simulator:

The Redbird Group (USA) manufactures simulators and at present, has 1400 units operating in 20 countries across the world.

Our choice was easy when it came to exceptional support and the number of flight training and enrichment programs offered to the aviation community. Highlighting new generation online training capabilities and integrated scenario-based flight training programs.

The flight training device offers three aircraft models to choose from with dedicated motion in roll, pitch and yaw. Model capabilities range from Cessna 172 to Piper Seneca with G1000 flight instruments. The G1000 system is in line with the latest avionics introduced to Airbus and Boeing today.

Does motion in flight training make a difference?


Yes, we know from first-hand experience, Pilots that learn primary flight skills in a device that provides accurate motion feedback, take less time to transition to the real aircraft because they know what it “feels like” to fly.

Summarising highlights on offer at Sky centre:

  • GIFT – Guided integrated flight curriculum.
  • Scenario based flight exercises.
  • High school aviation programs incorporating Aviation subject matter (STEM) and utilising flight training devices as resource to achieve goals.
  • Certified flight training and Flight test facilitation to be launched soon/in 2019

Our location:

Unit 208. Titanium House. Paardevlei, Somerset West.
