Alsim is very pleased to announce the sale of an AL250 simulator to Orient Flight School, a flight training school located in Chennai, India. The simulator will be installed this autumn.
Orient Flight School and Alsim signed a Memorandum of Understanding earlier this year: the flight school is now the official Indian Demo Center, with the objective to show all Alsim product’s range in its academy. The flight school started adding this AL250 simulator to its fleet.
The EASA & FAA qualified AL250 simulator was launched in 2016 by Alsim in response to market demand. This compact FNPT II & AATD simulator addresses initial phase training needs (PPL, CPL, IR/ME) and is SEP/MEP reconfigurable. In addition, it offers both classic and glass instrumentation at the simple flick of a switch. The AL250 is a great success for the company.
Mr Mike Tonkin, Alsim’s After Sales & Business Development Director, explains: “We are very pleased to start concretely this new partnership’s project with Orient Flight School, with such a great tool. The company already owned an Alsim device and renewed its confidence in Alsim. This is really the beginning of a big project for the Indian region, and the first steps of a great collaboration between our two companies”.
Dr. Anand Jacob Verghese, Orient Flight School MD and CEO, emphasizes: “We were very impressed by ALSIM. We’ve been working with ALSIM for over 15 years now: we know the quality of their flight simulators, and we really appreciate the quality of their after-sales service.”
