July 1st 2020
Flight simulator manufacturer, Alsim, has sold one of its AL42 simulators to Auckland’s Ardmore Flying School. Read More » The privately-owned training academy has trained more than 10,000 pilots for commercial and private licences since it was established in 1961.
Its students have access to 16 C172 single engine and two Diamond DA42 Twin Star multi-engine aircraft complimented by three simulators.
Its new Alsim simulator is an exact replica of the Diamond DA42, built using genuine aircraft parts and fitted with the most up-to-date Garmin G1000 avioinics suite, the simulator manufacturer said.
“Alsim was chosen for its attention to detail, fantastic and open communication and the quality of the equipment. The visuals provided allow for excellent handling training,” Ardmore Flying School CEO, Ian Calvert, said. “The IFR procedures, combined with the full IOS gives scope to challenge trainee pilots to extend their capabilities and skills.”
