Sierra Charlie Aviation has renewed its trust in ALSIM by purchasing the second AL172 simulator for its growing Aviator Program.

The ALSIM AL172, built to FAA FTD Level 5 standards and already certified as an AATD, is an exact replica of a Cessna 172SP Skyhawk with a real Garmin G1000 NXI and GFC700 auto pilot.

“The program, appropriately call The Aviator program, is designed to create the all-around professional. When building this career program, Sierra Charlie wanted to provide students with the best possible training tools in the industry,” said Scott Campbell, Sierra Charlie Founder and President. “With the purchase of nine brand new Cessna 172s from the factory, and a brand new 2020 piper Seminole, the mission now was to find the best flight simulator to meet the Aviator Program’s needs. The needs were simple, SCA wanted an exact 1:1 match of the Cessna 172S G1000Nxi, good reliability/maintenance, and a SIM that students would enjoy. The AL172 from ALSIM did just that. Since the AL172 has been in operation it has received raving reviews from our students and instructors.”

Madi Rhodes, the Aviator Program student, says: “The AL172 has allowed my instrument flight training to be a breeze. Having a flight simulator that is an exact model of our schools’ airplanes allows for such an easy transition into the airplane. Compared to other flight simulators I’ve used, the AL172 has been unmatched.”

Scott Campbell, Sierra Charlie Founder and President adds: “With the amazing growth of the Aviator Program, Sierra Charlie Aviation is happy to announce that our second AL172 from ALSIM will be arriving in January. This second simulator from our partners at ALSIM will allow us to serve more students as the Aviator Program continues to grow.”
