Oxford, UK-based Leading Edge Aviation has taken delivery of an Alsim AL42 simulator. The AL42 is reckonned to be 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 latest generation visual system, GFC 700 autopilot and PBN/LPV capabilities.

Leading Edge CEO Andy McFarlane says: “We want our student pilots to receive the most advanced training possible. Along with interactive learning aids, virtual reality and neuro training, they will also benefit from the most advanced simulator technology as they prepare for their future career. The AL42 from Alsim offers sophisticated training capabilities and replicates the aircraft our students fly, making it the obvious choice for our latest acquisition.”

Alsim sales account manager Anna Lezoray adds: “It was a great pleasure to assist Leading Edge Aviation with its simulator purchase project. We are happy that the AL42's realism and its capability to reproduce different scenarios and flying conditions will enhance the training syllabus at Leading Edge.”
