French company Alsim normally specialises in flight simulators for professional pilot training but now that several flight schools are conducting PPL training on modern LSAs, there’s a need for the AL3X.
The new sim has been developed around the popular Garmin G3X Touch flightdeck. The AL3X is said to deliver an immersive and highly realistic training experience and enables students to build essential flying skills while maximising training efficiency and reducing operational costs.
The AL3X is powered by a flight model using the ubiquitous Rotax 912 engine to give performance and handling characteristics found across a broad range of modern LSA platforms, including the Tecnam P-Mentor, Pipistrel Alpha Trainer, Sling, Bristell, Van’s RV series or Evektor Harmony.
There’s even an optional aircraft parachute system!
Jean-Paul Monnin, co-founder and president of Alsim, said, “We are excited to introduce the AL3X to the market. This new simulator expands our portfolio by providing a dedicated training solution for the rapidly growing Light Sport Aircraft segment.
“The AL3X combines affordability, simplicity, and realism, allowing flight schools to offer high-quality simulation training while optimizing their resources. Our goal is to make professional-grade simulation more accessible than ever.”
