Alsim has announced that 43 Air School, located in South Africa, is acquiring an AL250 flight simulator, providing hope to the aviation training market despite the coronavirus pandemic damaging the industry.

The AL250 simulator addresses initial phase training needs (PPL, CPL, IR/ME) and is SEP/MEP re-configurable simulator certified as an EASA FNPT II. In addition, it offers both classic and glass cockpit instrumentation for each flight model at the simple flick of a switch. This device has been extremely well received since its creation and more than 65 of these have already been installed and are in successful operation worldwide.

Mr Attie Niemann, 43 Air School’s CEO and Managing Director, explained the reasons why they have chosen Alsim’s AL250:“43 Air School’s need for simulator training keeps expanding despite the disruption currently experienced. We see an even bigger need for simulation for training and have had a longstanding relationship and experience with Alsim as we operate four of these devices already at our 43 Port Alfred, South Africa campus and have had excellent service and reliability over the past 25 years of using Alsim products.”
