Skyborne invests again in Alsim
An Alsim customer since 2017, Skyborne Airline Academy has now placed a second order for one of its Diamond-replica AL42 simulators.
The simulator will be delivered to Skyborne's facility in Gloucestershire, UK.

UK flight school Skyborne Airline Academy has placed its second order for an Alsim AL42 simulator, to be delivered to its facility in Gloucestershire.

The AL42 is an exact replica of the Diamond DA42, constructed using genuine aircraft components and equipped with the latest real-world Garmin G1000 avionics suite. It also features the latest-generation visual system, GFC 700 autopilot and PBN/LPV capabilities.

Skyborne COO Ian Cooper explains: "We have chosen the Alsim AL42 simulator because we trust the brand and have a strong relationship with Alsim. This device aligns with our airline training philosophy, focusing on high-quality, relevant airline training."

Anna Lezoray, Alsim sales account manager, adds: "Our customers are our priority. We are proud when an existing customer renews its trust in our products and company. We have been working with Skyborne since its creation back in 2017 and are thrilled to continue accompanying it in its further, even more successful development.”
