Since its\nlaunch in late 2017, the AL172 has been delivered and certified to Universities\nand FTOs around the world. In the United States, Alsim\u2019s AL172 is operated by\nCirrus Aviation and Paragon Flight Training: both Liberty University flight\ntraining affiliates.

The AL172 is built to FTD Level 5\nspecifications which allows for more tasks to be completed in the simulator\nsuch as certain proficiency checks.\u201d\n\n\u201cHaving an exact replica of a brand-new Cessna\n172 Skyhawk with real Garmin avionics, high fidelity visuals and authentic\nforce feedback makes the AL172 a must have business and training item for\nCessna 172 operators. Not only does it help with a range of the most basic PPL\ntraining to instruments and more advanced emergency procedures, it also cuts\nthe down time and costs required in the actual aircraft. In the end, it means\nbetter training and both the student and airplane owner saving money.\u201d says Dr.\nScott Firsing of the Alsim North America office in Texas.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alsim has announced that the FAA has approved the Alsim AL172 simulator as an Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD).
