SimCom Training Centers Selects Eric Hinson As President

Joins Company After Serving As EVP Of Flight Safety International

SimCom Training Centers has named business aviation and training industry professional Eric Hinson as its new President. Hinson (pictured), who will report directly to Wally David, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, will oversee and direct the activities of SimCom’s four training center locations and 56 operational simulators. Additionally, he will be responsible for identifying future growth opportunities for SimCom, implementing strategic initiatives and expanding its global influence throughout the simulator training marketplace.

Most recently, Hinson served as Executive Vice President of FlightSafety International. Prior to that assignment, he held senior level executive positions at Gulfstream Aerospace and Piaggio. A former F/A-18 Navy pilot, he currently maintains his flying skills as the owner of an A36TC Bonanza.

“As we look to the future, we believe Eric is the right choice to lead the SimCom brand to the next level”, says David. “His leadership and experience in the simulator training marketplace gives us a keen competitive advantage as we grow and expand our services. Eric is a champion of our signature ‘value, personal and friendly’ approach to simulator training. Being an experienced pilot himself, Eric knows how important this training philosophy can be to pilots who rely on SimCom to provide them with a realistic and challenging training environment that furthers their knowledge, skills and proficiency. Eric is a natural fit into our company’s culture and we are excited to have him at SimCom.”

Hinson adds, “I am extremely excited to be joining the SimCom team. I have always admired SimCom’s approach to training. The personal and friendly training environment here allows customers to maximize their learning experience. I look forward to working closely with Wally and the rest of the SimCom team to build on the SimCom tradition of quality training that is focused on providing the industry with highly skilled, professionally trained and competent pilots.”

SimCom Training Centers offers simulator training programs for a wide variety of piston and turboprop aircraft as well as business jets. It is the exclusive factory authorized training provider for the Eclipse EA-500 (in the Americas), Pilatus PC-12 (in the Americas), Socata TBM (in North America and Mexico), Mitsubishi MU-2 and the Piper Meridian, Mirage, Malibu, Matrix, Seneca and Saratoga aircraft.
