Goiania, Brazil-based Aeroclube de Goiás has become Alsim's first Brazilian customer after purchasing an AL250 simulator. General director Rivas Rezende da Costa says: “After looking for two years it became clear the AL250 was the best simulator for our current training ambitions. We are thrilled to become the first Alsim customer in the country.”

An order for an Alsim AL42 Diamond DA42 replica was also placed by European Flyers, a training centre based in Madrid, Spain, to improve its ME and IR courses. The Alsim AL42 is an exact replica of the Diamond DA42, built using genuine aircraft parts and equipped with the latest real-world Garmin G1000 avionics suite. It comes with the latest generation visual system, GFC 700 autopilot and PBN/LPV capabilities. General manager Miguel del Moral has been an Alsim customer since 2007. He says: “This acquisition of the third Alsim device was an easy decision to make and integrates well with our training programme and fleet.

“The AL42 is the perfect tool to complement our programmes. We are very happy with the Alsim C172 G1000 we've been operating since 2007, so now that we have a Diamond DA42 for the multi-engine training, what could be a better choice than the AL42 to train our students?”

Alsim sales account manager Nicolas de Lassus adds: “We are very pleased that European Flyers has chosen us again, as they have been our clients for more than 12 years. This Alsim acquisition proves we are able to support our clients in the long-term and provide devices in accordance with their training needs.”
