Redbird Flight and Avemco Insurance Company have joined forces to give pilots an incentive to pursue ongoing proficiency training.
Through a new agreement, Avemco customers will receive a 20% discount on annual subscriptions to Redbird’s personalized proficiency training app, Redbird Pro.
The app identifies the weakest areas of a pilot’s knowledge and skills and tailors personalized training recommendations, ranging from flight simulator scenarios, articles, quizzes, and more, Redbird officials explain.
Redbird Pro offers Visual Pilot and Instrument Pilot subscription plans, both of which are eligible for the discount through Avemco.
Avemco pilots who use Redbird Pro in their proficiency training also will be eligible for discounts on their annual insurance premiums through the Avemco Safety Rewards Program, according to company officials. The program awards pilots who pursue continuing education and flight training opportunities with credits that can save them up to 10% on their annual insurance premiums.
“At Avemco, we believe strongly in the value of flight simulators in the ongoing training of pilots,” notes Marci Veronie, senior vice president of sales and marketing.
