At the European Airline Training Symposium (EATS) in Portugal, Alsim celebrated a new milestone in flight training: Professional Aviation has become among the first to integrate the brand-new AL2006 simulator, designed to replicate the Tecnam P2006T NG. This acquisition follows the Italian flight academy's recent acceptance of the first P2006T NG in the country and reinforces its commitment to delivering high-quality, realistic multi-engine pilot training.

The AL2006 faithfully reproduces the Tecnam P2006T NG, a highly regarded, cost-efficient multi-engine trainer. Designed to FTD Level 5 and EASA FNPT II standards, it offers a full-size flight deck replica, a semi-enclosed instructor station, active control loading and a specific flight model based on aircraft flight characteristics.

For maximum realism, the AL2006 is equipped with an immersive visual system featuring three high-definition laser projectors, enhanced by a vibration cueing system and delivering an impressive 210x50 degree field of view. It also includes the original Garmin G1000 NXi and GFC 700 autopilot, ensuring an authentic experience that closely replicates the real aircraft's cockpit environment, a world first for a P2006T NG simulator.

“Being an existing Alsim customer and well aware of the quality of its products and after-sales support, I have strongly encouraged the investment in the AL2006 simulator. The Tecnam P2006T has already proven to be one of the best-selling twin-engine aircraft on the market, and I believe the new Tecnam P2006T NG is the platform the industry has been waiting for,” states Vito Preti, accountable manager and director of Professional Aviation. “Having a dedicated simulator developed by a well-established company like Alsim is a key element in providing high-quality, cost-effective training. It represents a critical step forward in maintaining excellence and competitiveness in today's flight training environment.”

Leonardo Rodrigues, sales manager at Alsim, adds: “Many flight schools have the P2006 as their twin-engine of choice. A type-specific simulator for this aircraft is an important tool to complement their offering, providing seamless transition between simulator and airplane training.”
