Rocky Mountain College, based in Montana, has made a significant acquisition by purchasing the new AL100i simulator for its aviation program.
The AL100i is the exact replica of the P100i, the trainer aircraft manufactured by Piper. The simulator will be designed to FTD 5 standard, offering a full-size cockpit replica, a semi-enclosed instructor station, an active electrical control loading, and a specific flight model based on aircraft flight characteristics. The AL100i will feature the immersive 3 projectors visual system for a 210x55° field of view. On top of this, the simulator will be equipped with the original G3X and GNX375 manufactured by Garmin, ensuring the same level of performance, features, and reliability as the aircraft, which ALSIM believes is a world first for these avionics.
Dan Hargrove, Director of Aviation at Rocky Mountain College, states: “We have added several new Piper 100i training aircraft to our fleet. We pride ourselves in providing excellent Part 141 flight training to our students and truly preparing them for careers in many different sectors of the aviation industry. Many do go on to fly for the airlines, but likewise, others fly cargo, air ambulance, back country Alaska, firefighting, corporate and fractional. We have been looking for some time for a flight training device that is cockpit specific to both successfully ease our students into our flight training program and prepare them for a variety of careers. We believe the AL100i is just what we are looking for.”
