Flight Simulator Acquisition Supports India Training Expansion

ALSIM has announced the acquisition of an AL250 simulator by MH Cockpit, based in India. This acquisition marks a milestone in MH Cockpit's growth strategy and supports its plan to develop an aviation education and training offering in India and internationally.

The AL250 simulator addresses the initial phase of training needs (PPL, CPL, Instrument and Multi Engine ratings) and is a SEP/MEP reconfigurable simulator certified as an EASA FNPT II, FAA AATD and Transport Canada FTD Level 2 with IPC capability. 

MH Cockpit's aviation education portfolio includes undergraduate and postgraduate programmes such as Aerospace Engineering, B.Sc. Aviation, B.Sc. Aeronautical Science, BBA Aviation and MBA Aviation, delivered in collaboration with universities across India. The company also prepares aspiring pilots for their ab-initio Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) journey, including preparation for Indian DGCA examinations, and offers Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) modules, digital aviation content, and training management software for Flight Training Organisations. MH Cockpit is in the process of establishing new Flight Training Organisations in India and overseas.

Ahamed Subair, Chairman of MH Cockpit, said: "The partnership supports MH Cockpit's expanding aviation education, pilot training, competency-based training and aviation technology ecosystem, with plans for new Flight Training Organisations in India and overseas. This positioning reflects that the AL250 acquisition is part of a broader strategic initiative by MH Cockpit to develop a comprehensive aviation ecosystem rather than being solely a simulator acquisition."
