Alsim is strengthening its partnership with French flight training school Mermoz Academy, which has acquired a second AL250 simulator for its facility in Nîmes. With this addition, Mermoz now has three Alsim simulators, including another AL250 and an Airliner. This new acquisition reflects Mermoz's ongoing confidence in Alsim's flight training solutions.

The AL250 simulator addresses initial phase of training needs (PPL, CPL, IR/ME) and is a SEP/MEP re-configurable simulator certified as an EASA FNPT II. In addition, it offers both classic and glass cockpit for each flight model at the flick of a switch. This device has been well received since its creation, and more than 100 of these have already been installed and are in successful operation worldwide.

Sylvain Morel, head of training at Mermoz Academy, explains: “To support its development, the Mermoz Academy group needed to expand its fleet of IR simulators to meet its training criteria. We naturally chose the Alsim AL250 due to its performance and ease of teaching. This simulator aligns with the group's specifications, particularly concerning uniformity and standardisation.”

Audrey Jeffroy, Alsim sales director, adds: “We are delighted that Mermoz Academy has once again chosen to trust Alsim. The addition of this third simulator to its fleet reinforces our long-term partnership. We look forward to seeing how our simulators will continue to enrich the training experience for students.”
