Centre Québécois de Formation Aéronautique Purchases ALSIM AIRLINER

ALSIM has announced the sale of the first AIRLINER in Canada to the Centre Québecois de Formation Aéronautique (CQFA) for its Montréal campus.

The AIRLINER is a hybrid simulator (Fly-by-wire and conventional control) manufactured by ALSIM to address large flight training programs for advanced training such as Multi Crew Cooperation, Crew Resource Management, Jet Aircraft Handling and Procedures. The versatile simulator is close to a variety of different single aisle aircraft, such as the B737MAX, A320, A220, E190-E2 or the SSJ100.

Jean LaRoche, Director of Aeronautical Research and Development at the CQFA, comments on his choice: “The CQFA has long been aware of the exceptional quality of ALSIM products. We are delighted to be able to include the Airliner in our range of services at our Montreal campus. The hybrid Airbus/Boeing configuration offers unparalleled commercial opportunities.”

Audrey Jeffroy, ALSIM Sales Director, adds: “We thank the CQFA team for their confidence in our flight training solutions and services. We are confident that the AIRLINER will play a significant role in the training of the students at the Montréal campus. We are very proud of our collaboration with the CQFA, with this major milestone: the installation of the first AIRLINER in Canada.”
