A constant process of evolving our products over the
Jérôme Binachon and computer years has enabled us to offer our customers an advanced
end-to-end turnkey solution with the ALSIM ALX.
engineer Jean-Paul Monnin:
The development of our devices and services is
developing a flight training device a continuous process in close collaboration with
customers and our very own ATO
that combines different aircraft (Approved Training Organisation).

types in one simulator. The feedback we get is of great value to us in

our continuous research and development,

WHY
CHOOSE
ALSIM?
Every ALSIM solution is developed through a dialogue with our customers,
helping us to provide business solutions you can rely on. This also results in
new and unique training applications driven by customer satisfaction.

We ALSIM people know of 1. Educational Innovation

at least five reasons
With the ALX simulator, ALSIM presents a new and
innovative training concept that combines various
1. Educational Innovation aircraft types in one single simulator. In contrast to the
ALSIM type-specific training devices, the purpose of this
2. Airline-Ready Pilots simulator is to act as a training tool to provide skills for
a wide range of aircraft: single piston, twin piston, twin
3. Cost-Efficient Training turbine and medium category twin jet. The principle involved
is not learning to pilot and control one specific aircraft
4. FAA & EASA Support but to understand the logic and procedures common to
each class of aircraft. This means that the instrument
5. Simulator Operator panel has to be designed with this in mind: it must not
mirror the design of any particular aircraft but reflect all
the systems that might be found in each aircraft class. All
our devices are made with the same precision, with the
highest quality of training constantly at the forefront.

2. Airline-Ready Pilots
The ALX simulator offers comprehensive training: the future
pilot can use it all the way to Type Rating. Our aim is
to optimize training, improve the way pilot and co-pilot work
together and prepare airline-ready pilots for employment.

3. Cost-Efficient training
A flight simulator is safer and less expensive than an
aircraft, you can use a simulator 24/7. As the ALX is capable
of simulation up to 10 different flight models it could benefit
to your return on investment.

Get rid of the paperwork!

ALSIM being the operator… A CMS can be a big challenge

means less pressure on you: for small organizations:

» Acceptance of your device according to applicable » Limited resources and lack of an FSTD “expert”
standards and training needs
» Additional workload and responsibilities
» Technical compliance of your device for the flight school

» Required knowledge of FSTD regulations and

authorities and ALSIM
» Uncomfortable position of the operator
» Initial and recurrent training of your technical staff being stuck in the middle between
the authorities and the manufacturer
» Compliance monitoring of the FSTD
» Risk of operational delays if the ATO does
» Maintenance and update of the FSTD not comply at the first attempt

» FSTD evaluation and CMS audit fees

Why does ALSIM offer such a service? can be very high when applying to EASA

EASA regulations require operators to establish, operate and

maintain a Compliance Monitoring System (CMS). To help your ATO, ALSIM will :

» Operate your FSTD according

to EASA applicable standards

» Take responsibility for the overall qualification

and compliance monitoring of your FSTD

STUDENT
IMMERSION
We are aware that effective training is a combination of
a variety of factors: the quality of the device, the instructor’s
didactic abilities and good communication between the
student and the flight instructor, to mention a few. With the
ALX, the instructor will quickly take control of the tool, so that
he can concentrate on transferring his knowledge to the
trainee. Thanks to the characteristics of our FSTD, the future
pilot will instantly feel immersed in the training and thus will
learn efficiently how to analyze situations and make the right
decisions quickly.

GETTING
INTO THE
TRAINING
Our ALX simulator is a great tool to use for both
the instructor and the trainee. Discover how.

We have always worked in close co-operation with our simulator end-users:

the pilots. This is one of the key factors enabling our Research & Development team
to ensure that the student will easily recognize the type of aircraft he is flying.

Our high-tech and user-friendly simulator ensures easy immersion for both
trainee and instructor and offers a high level of training. In the end, the simulator
becomes an essential tool for decision making, which is a vital part of the training.
