ALSIM is happy to announce the sale of four simulators, two AL250 and two AL172, to Kent State University\u2019s College of Aeronautics and Engineering (CAE). The simulators will be installed in their new 18,000 square foot Aeronautics Academic Center, slated to open in mid-2019, located at Kent State University Airport in Stow, Ohio.<\/p>\n
Originally opened in 1920 and serving the community for decades, Kent State\u2019s airport is a university asset utilized by CAE\u2019s flight technology program which provides professional aeronautical training to students. A reflection of CAE\u2019s excellence in education as evidenced by its ETAC ABET and AABI accredited academic programs, the new state-of-the-art building will include classrooms, flight debriefing rooms and a faculty research lab in addition to the four Alsim simulators.<\/p>\n
Kent State\u2019s new Alsim simulator fleet will complement their aircraft fleet, the largest university fleet in Ohio. It includes 27 single-engine Cessna aircraft, two twin-engine Piper Seminoles and three single-engine Piper Arrows.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a straightforward value-based decision,\u201d said Robert G. Sines, Jr., interim dean, CAE. \u201cThe quality and fidelity of the AL250 and AL172 we\u2019ve chosen are outstanding and will seamlessly merge into our existing flight training operations, providing enhanced training opportunities for our students.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a complement to their exceptional simulation products, the customer service we\u2019ve received from ALSIM has been, thus far, nothing short of outstanding,\u201d said Maureen McFarland, PhD, Senior Academic Program Director Aeronautics, CAE. \u201cWillingness and technical ability to accommodate our unique needs was a significant factor in our decision to work with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased and honored that Kent State University chose Alsim to help prepare their students for careers in aviation. Kent State has a great reputation of training highly functional and effective aviation professionals and we believe through their Alsim simulator fleet and our partnership, the bar will be raised even higher. We are very excited to see what the future holds,” adds Dr. Scott Firsing, Sales and Business Development Manager at Alsim North America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
