Largest Canadian Flight School Buys Convertible Device

One of the largest Canadian flight schools, Brampton Flight Centre, has purchased an AL250 simulator to add to their flight training devices.

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 for each flight model.

Allan Paige, General Manager at Brampton Flight Centre, explains: “We wanted to replace one of our old FTD’s because it has become expensive to maintain and keep operational.  We began to look for a reconfigurable FTD that can simulate our fleet of 19 C-172’s (glass and analog) and 2 Piper Seminoles and has been approved to the latest, very demanding, Transport Canada standards for Level 2 FTD’s.  After speaking to several manufacturers and a customer who owns an AL250, we selected the ALSIM AL250 because it can simulate both the C-172 and Seminole, has modern and upgradeable avionics to allow us to teach the latest IFR procedures, the capability to do Instrument Proficiency Checks, and a highly realistic visual system.  In addition, from speaking to ALSIM’s other customer, we were impressed by the customer support and certification assistance that they received from ALSIM.”
