Aviation Veteran Brent Birdwell Launches RAeroLLC, a Next Generation Aviation Training Ecosystem

USA - Built on the conviction "train smarter, fly safer" — the platform unites computer-based training, immersive XR and VR familiarization, WebXR procedure training, interactive instructor diagrams, an extensive general-subjects library with a fully functional A320 FMST, and a complete cabin-crew and maintenance programme, the flight-deck posters, switch-light guides, and ramp-operation procedures that airlines usually source from a patchwork of suppliers now arrive on a tunable platform with operator's exact aircraft variant and SOPs.

RAeroLLC is the next evolution of that vision: one aviation training ecosystem, one vendor, one platform.

The company is led by founder and CEO Brent Birdwell, who brings more than 35 years of aviation-training expertise across the U.S. Air Force, 25 years at a major U.S. airline, and the founding of CPaT. CPaT began as a part-time concept in 1993 and grew into one of the world's most widely used aviation CBT platforms, serving up to 50,000 pilots annually by 2012 before his exit in 2019. RAeroLLC, is the next evolution of that lifelong work. Brent is joined by Laura Birdwell, Chad Birdwell, Amit Bahuguna and Rahul Jakhmola. RAeroLLC is powered by a global team of airline pilots, instructors, developers, curriculum designers, and aviation training experts across the globe.

The company is also expanding its FMS-Trainer capability, the A320 FMST is already part of the platform and additional FMST programs are being developed for more aircraft types. The current A320 FMST includes practice capability for the MCDU, PFD/ND, and FCU in both Captain (CA) and First Officer (FO) configurations. The FMS division is headed by Tom Papazafiriou (founder of ASTEKS Inc and ex- Tricom Technologies), a flight-simulation pioneer who has worked across Airbus, Boeing, and regional types.

RAeroLLC supports major fleet training programs, including the A320, A330, A350, B737, B757, B767, B777, B787, and E170/E195. 

“RAeroLLC is the complete aviation ecosystem designed to help Airlines / ATO's train smarter, improve readiness, and reduce overall training costs by 15-20% . Single vendor source” — Brent Birdwell, Co-Founder & CEO, RAeroLLC
