Ben Air Flight Academy invests in Alsim ALX simulator

Alsim has sold an ALX (SEP/MEP/MJ) to Ben Air Flight Academy (BAFA), a flight school located in Antwerp, Belgium.

The new simulator will be equipped with LPV/PBN and replace two of the company’s previous simulators.

Xavier de Rom, BAFA’s Safety/FSTD Manager, stated, “We had the opportunity to fly the ALX at Requena. We really appreciated the flight models and flexible changes between the different aircraft configurations. The technologies in the aviation sector are continuously improving, and we think the ALX offers the best opportunity to provide for up-to-date avionics, advanced training possibilities and is the best match to our existing aircraft fleet. We are in an ongoing process to improve the quality and efficiency of our flight training and we know the ALX will help us in achieving this goal.”

BAFA’s current training fleet consists of six single-engine Piper Warrior IIIs, one multi-engine Piper Seminole, two flight simulators and two premises in Belgium – one at Antwerp International Airport and the other at Ostend International Airport.

The University of Kyrenia and OMNI Aviation Group have also recently purchased Alsim's ALX simulators.
