Pacific Flying Club (PFC) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada has purchased an Alsim ALX simulator. The owner of an Alsim AL200 MCC for over 10 years, PFC recently decided to trade-in its beloved device for the more technologically advanced and modern ALX simulator. The school opted for all available flight models and options from a single engine piston close to a Cessna 172 to a medium jet close to an Airbus A320, and will use two Garmin GTN650s. With many advanced features including complex overhead, dual FMS and Alsim's new visual system, it is a device that provides a range of flight training from someone's first flight to jet orientation training before joining airlines. The ALX is Alsim's best-selling device to date with more than 90 installed worldwide.

Based at Boundary Bay airport, PFC owns and operates 30 aircraft including Cessna 152s and 172s and Piper PA34 Senecas. PFC also purchased the first ever Alsim AL250 in early 2016. PFC graduates are flying for airlines such as Air Canada, West Jet, Sun Wing, Pacific Coastal Airlines, Jazz, Encore, Central Mountain Air, Cathay Pacific and other airlines, companies and corporations around the world.

Executive director Clark Duimel says: “We used our very reliable AL200 extensively for more than a decade and we look forward to 10 more years with our new ALX. We pride ourselves in offering our students and instructors the latest and greatest Alsim has to offer. We very much look forward to receiving the ALX early in 2020, as well as the software upgrades Alsim continues to roll out.”
