Will Be Available For Training This Fall

Alsim has struck a deal with the University of Dubuque for an AL250 simulator. The flight training device will be installed in the University’s Ed Babka Aviation Learning Center, a new state-of-the-art flight operations center scheduled to open fall 2019.

The University of Dubuque has a growing Aviation program, including Flight Operations and Aviation Management programs, both accredited by the Aviation Accreditation Board, International (AABI). The University is currently using Cessna 172S, Piper PA-28R and PA44 aircraft to complete training requirements in the Private Pilot (PPL), Instrument Rating (IR), Commercial Pilot (CPL), and Flight Instructor training course outlines.

“The Alsim AL250 was designed with Universities like Dubuque in mind. The simulator is compact, reliable and robust, with multiple flight models close to very popular training aircraft making it an ideal PPL, IR and CPL trainer. Despite its relatively small physical footprint, it contains an industry leading 250-degree field of view, high definition visuals and heavy-duty control loading, providing students and instructors with complete immersion. This entire combination equates to very effective VFR training,” says Dr. Scott Firsing of Alsim’s North America office in Texas.

The University of Dubuque’s AL250 will be equipped with Alsim’s own avionics system, Alsim GPS.

“The Alsim AL250 will provide our students with advanced simulation capabilities not only for flight training, but also in courses such as human factors, where they can utilize it in order to study various aspects of human machine interactions.  This device will give us the ability to take our program to the next level in providing our students a well-rounded education that will prepare them for the next evolution in the aviation industry,”  says Chaminda Prelis, Head of Aviation Programs at the University of Dubuque.
