Friday, Feb 2nd 2024 – Le Loroux-Bottereau, France

Canada’s Collège Air Richelieu reinforces its dedication to ALSIM with the acquisition of two advanced AL250compact simulators, solidifying a collaborative history spanning almost two decades.

“ALSIM has been our steadfast partner over the years. We are convinced that the AL250compact will play a significant role in enhancing our training programs by offering optimum versatility with its six flight models.”

The AL250compact is a unique project that adapts to the specific needs expressed by Collège Air Richelieu. Thanks to its particular dimensions and simplified overall architecture, it fits into small areas to meet Collège Air Richelieu’s requirements. Moreover, the AL250compact is equipped with three flat screens that ensure excellent image quality. At the same time, it retains all the functionalities of the AL250.

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 and TC Level 2 IPC, as well as AATD (FAA). In addition, it offers both classic and glass cockpit for each flight model at the simple flick of a switch. This device has been extremely well received since its creation and more than 100 of these have already been installed and are in successful operation worldwide.

Thierry Dugrippe, Operation Manager of Collège Air Richelieu, explains his choice: “ALSIM has been our steadfast partner over the years. We are convinced that the AL250compact will play a significant role in enhancing our training programs by offering optimum versatility with its six flight models.”

Jean-Paul Monnin, President of ALSIM, adds: “We are delighted with this new sale to one of our very first customers!  Indeed, since 2003, ALSIM has proudly supported Collège Air Richelieu. We see them as a long-term partner with a modern vision of simulators’ use. We have enjoyed supporting their development over all these years, and we hope to continue this collaboration in the future.”
