Alsim has launched the convertible simulator AL40/42. It combines two popular Diamond aircraft – the DA40 and DA42 – in one device, bringing flexibility to flight schools.

The device reproduces the Diamond-specific interior cockpits and flight decks. Changing from the DA42 to the DA40 configuration is fast and straightforward, and is performed by swapping the dashboard and middle console. The conversion kit provides two cockpit and central panels, including all air conditioning system switches, Garmin avionics, power levers, fuel selection and yaw trim panels. The switching of the central panel is optional as the DA40 configuration will be compatible with the DA42's.

The simulator includes real Garmin G1000 NXI avionics and GFC 700 autopilot/flight director, the latest VFR-VS image generator and visual system with 210 degree screen and an instructor station designed for instructor's comfort. This simulator is specifically designed for PPL, IR and CPL training needs and is compliant with the latest aviation standards from EASA (FNPT II) and the FAA (AATD and FTD 5) to TC (FTD2) and CAAC (FTD5).

The specific Alsim AL40 and AL42 simulators will also be available with the conversion kit and can be upgraded at any time.

All Alsim devices are delivered with a two-year warranty and a full range of services including installation, training, maintenance and qualification support. A maintenance spare parts kit is also provided to ensure independence.
