"Redbird engineers have cleverly designed the lesson feedback to promote more seat time. Each lesson is scored in the program and instantly uploaded to the student's profile in the cloud. Assuming they don’t crash, students generally get a passing score. But it’s very difficult to get a perfect score, and that keeps students coming back for more.”

Redbird Introduces GIFT, AOPA

“I knew I’d let my heading wander a tiny bit, and had a few bumps in altitude although I did always try to correct, but GIFT was a tough grader. It didn’t like the fact that I’d let the heading wander off at least five degrees a couple of times and once let my altitude drop from 2700 to 2620 although I corrected back. While it didn’t specifically point out my decision to continue after being told to fly the miss, a GIFT-trained instructor would have easily been able to analyze the system data the GIFT produced to know I needed work. That’s a good thing.”

Redbird Releases Instrument Rating GIFT at AirVenture, Flying Magazine

"GIFT is designed to be as technique-neutral as possible. It’s based on the idea that there’s no one right way to fly a maneuver well (though there are wrong ones, and GIFT will call you out if you think a good landing means dragging it in 10 feet off the deck even if you do touch down in the right spot). It leaves it up to the instructor and flight school to teach the technique. GIFT just tracks the results with an eye on the PTS."
