In an industry driven by innovation and high ambition, we are revolutionizing the aviation world by providing affordable, FAA-certified flight simulators that help develop safer, more prepared pilots.
The New Standard in Aviation & Leisure
At Jaybird, we believe the path to mastery shouldn't be a grind—it should be an experience. We’ve reimagined the traditional training environment by blending high-fidelity aviation technology with the amenities of a premier private club.
Our vision is to foster an elite community of aviators and athletes at Falcon Field. By providing 24/7 access to FAA-certified flight simulators and luxury golf entertainment, we empower our members to sharpen their skills on their own schedule. Whether you’re logging instrument time in the Redbird FMX, dialing in your swing on the Garmin R50, or unwinding in our pilot lounge with a premium espresso and massage chair, Jaybird is your dedicated space to train, connect, and elevate your game.
Our Fleet
Conveniently located at Falcon Field (KFFZ), Jaybird Sim Center currently provides an FAA-certified Basic Aviation Training Device along with an FAA-certified Advanced Aviation Training Device. These state-of-the-art simulators offer pilots the valuable opportunity to significantly enhance their flying skills while simultaneously accumulating logged hours, resulting in meaningful cost savings.

Maximize Your Logbook, Minimize Your Costs
Flight training is an investment, but it shouldn’t be a financial burden. By integrating our FAA-certified simulators into your training regimen, you can save thousands of dollars on your ratings. Our members can log up to 20 hours toward an Instrument Rating and 50 hours toward a Commercial Certificate at a fraction of the cost of a traditional aircraft rental.
At Jaybird, the value extends beyond the logbook. We’ve built a pilot’s dream headquarters where efficiency meets luxury. Prep for your checkride on the Redbird FMX, then decompress with a premium espresso or a session in our massage chairs. Whether you’re maintaining IFR currency or perfecting your golf swing on the Garmin R50 between flight lessons, Jaybird ensures that every moment spent at the hangar is productive, comfortable, and world-class.
Aviate. Navigate. Communicate.
True airmanship is forged in the details. At Jaybird, we provide the ultimate environment to master those details without the distractions of a busy frequency or the high stakes of actual flight. Our FAA-certified Redbird FMX is more than a simulator; it is a high-fidelity performance lab where you can rehearse engine failures, master complex IFR procedures, and sharpen your situational awareness in a safe, controlled setting.
By bridging the gap between theory and the cockpit, Jaybird empowers you to build the deep muscle memory and decisive judgment required of an elite pilot. Train for the unexpected, refine your technique, and step into your aircraft with an unparalleled level of confidence.
