The addition of an ALSIM AL250 will allow the Brampton Flight Centre to provide the latest procedures and capabilities in a state-of-the-art, high-fidelity flight training device.
ALSIM has announced that Brampton Flight Centre, one of the largest Canadian flight schools, has purchased an AL250 simulator to add to their flight training devices. The AL250 simulator meets the training requirements for the initial phases, including Private Pilot License (PPL), Commercial Pilot License (CPL), and Instrument Rating/Multi-Engine (IR/ME). The addition of an ALSIM AL250 will enable Brampton Flight Centre to offer cutting-edge procedures and advanced capabilities through a state-of-the-art, high-fidelity flight training device.
Allan Paige, General Manager at Brampton Flight Centre, Said, “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 customers, we were impressed by the customer support and certification assistance that they received from ALSIM.”
Since its inception, this device has been exceptionally well-received, with over 100 units installed and successfully operational across the globe.
Jason Da Costa, Business development and ALSIM Sales Manager, adds, “It is a great pleasure for ALSIM to have been selected by the Brampton Flight Centre as the flight training device manufacturer of choice. The Brampton Flight Centre has an exceptional training program and a wonderful reputation. The addition of an ALSIM AL250 will allow the Brampton Flight Centre to provide the latest procedures and capabilities in a state-of-the-art, high-fidelity flight training device. This alignment allows for the continued shared vision in providing aviation training excellence.”
