Canada Training Solutions Acquires ALSIM Sim

ALSIM Simulators has sold an AL250 to Canada Training Solutions (CTS) based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This will be CTS’ first ALSIM simulator. Their AL250 can be reconfigured to represent several types of piston aircraft typically used for pilot training. The AL250 also contains the latest real Garmin GTN650 and both round dials and 'glass' flight decks. The simulator will be certified by Transport Canada as a Level 2-IPC rated device.

President of CTS, a former RCAF Pilot and airline executive, Mr Garrett Lawless commented: "CTS exists to help flight schools incorporate proven innovations within their programs. We have long admired ALSIM for producing affordable, high-quality flight simulators, and are most impressed with the latest technologies being introduced on the new AL250. This simulator will be placed with our Ottawa team, where it will be surrounded by several high-quality flight schools, have access to an aviation college program and four airports that are suitable for flight training. Also nearby are Transport Canada, the National Research Council, the Department of National Defence and the best aerospace engineering program in the country. We hope that by bringing our first ALSIM device to the National Capital Region, we can help these local teams produce a truly Canadian Centre of Excellence in aviation training and innovation that will strongly appeal to both national and international students."

The simulator will be installed in Canada later on in the year.
