FTEJerez, an ATO based in Jerez, Spain, has purchased an AL250 simulator from Alsim. The AL250 addresses initial phase training need, including PPL, CPL and IR/ME, and is SEP/MEP re-configurable simulator certified as an EASA FNPT II. In addition, it offers both classic and glass cockpit instrumentation for each flight model at the flick of a switch. This device has been well-received since its creation and more than 65 units have already been installed and are in successful operation worldwide.

“At FTEJerez we believe that every stage of the training syllabus is important to achieve the standards the industry demands,” says FTEJerez CEO Oscar Sordo. “The AL250 is a necessary upgrade to provide our cadets with the best equipment and training experience at what is a key stage of their training course: their initial single engine flying. We look forward to certifying the AL250 as an approved flight training device (FTD) and also for PBN. Furthermore, the device will allow FTEJerez to conduct flight instructor upgrades, for example to IRI.”

"We are very glad to welcome FTEJerez among our customers in Spain,” adds Nicolas de Lassus, Alsim sales account manager. “Adding an AL250 flight simulator will enable the school to provide high-quality courses to the initial phases of the ab initio training. We would like to thank FTEJerez for its confidence and hope this is the beginning of a successful cooperation between our two companies.”
