ALSIM Simulators is excited to announce the sale of an ALX\nto Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, USA. This will be Liberty\u2019s first\nALSIM simulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liberty opted for all available flight models in the ALSIM\nALX, which starts with a single engine piston close to a Cessna 172 and\nreconfigures to a medium jet similar to an Airbus 320.The ALX has many advanced\nfeatures including complex overhead, dual FMS and ALSIM\u2019s new visual system.\nThe versatile device provides a wide range of flight training services from a\nstudent pilot\u2019s first flight with an analogue flight deck to the more advanced\njet orientation training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ALX is ALSIM\u2019s best-selling device to date with more\nthan 100 installed worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
