Le Loroux-Bottereau, France. 29 May 2024. ALSIM proudly announces that Paragon Flight Training, the prestigious US flight academy, has purchased the first two brand-new AL100i simulators. These cutting-edge simulators will meet Paragon’s flight training requirements for the P100i.
The AL100i is the exact replica of the P100i, the successful trainer aircraft manufactured by Piper. The simulator will be designed to FTD 5 standard, offering a full-size cockpit replica, a semi-enclosed instructor station, an active electrical control loading, and a specific flight model based on aircraft flight characteristics. The AL100i will feature the immersive 3 projectors visual system for an unequaled 210×55° field of view. On top of this, the simulator will be equipped with the original G3X and GNX375 manufactured by Garmin, ensuring the same level of performance, features, and reliability as the aircraft, a world first for these avionics.
Mickael Herard, ALSIM’s Qualification & Product Manager, comments: “Thanks to 25 years of experience with Garmin avionic integration, our development team has successfully faced the challenge of interfacing the original G3X and GNX 375. This feature, in conjunction with an extremely accurate representation of the cockpit based on a 3D scan, contributes to offering the most realistic P100i simulator on the market. A special thanks to Piper Aircraft for their help in achieving this!”
Chris Schoensee, President of Paragon Flight Training, explains his choice: “Paragon Flight Training is thrilled to be among the first flight schools in the world to utilize the new ALSIM P100i flight training device. The Piper P100i aircraft is positioned to be the dominant aircraft moving forward – and with our standardized fleet of P100i aircraft, it’s important we offer the highest caliber of flight training devices to complement our aircraft. Since we first took delivery of the aircraft two years ago, this device was the missing link that will allow Paragon’s students to partake in one of the most efficient and cost-effective student-centered learning experiences possible.”
Jason Da Costa, Business development and ALSIM Sales Manager, adds: “It is an honor to be chosen by Paragon Flight Training as their flight training device provider. As one of the launch customers for the AL100i, we are extremely proud that such a recognized flight school with an outstanding training program will be able to further their curriculum with an ALSIM AL100i flight training device. “
