Starlite Aviation Training Academy, based in Durban and Mossel Bay, South Africa, has purchased an Alsim AL250 simulator. Impressed by the capabilities of the device, the ATO decided to choose Alsim to respond to the growing demand for single and multi-engine instrument simulator training at its campus in Durban.

“After looking at various possibilities, the options to simulate analogue or glass cockpit at the touch of a button, the instrument and in R/Nav capability and various other aspects like the fact that it fully also satisfies EASA and FAA certification requirements, played a big role in our choice of selecting the AL250,” explains Klara Fouché, managing director. “We are extremely satisfied with our decision to purchase the AL250 and look forward to a long-standing relationship with Alsim.”

The AL250 simulator addresses initial phase training needs (PPL, CPL, IR/ME) and offers 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 operation worldwide.

“We are very glad to welcome Starlite Aviation Training Academy among our customers and would like to thank it for its confidence. We are looking forward to installing the simulator in the Durban region and to starting a successful cooperation between our two companies,” notes Nicolas de Lassus, Alsim sales account manager.
