Since\nthe inception, the school has grown to become an AOPA awarded flight training\nprovider year after year. Most notably, awarded Best Flight School in the\nWestern Pacific region. In 2021 Sierra Charlie set out to build a career\npathway program to bring pilots from zero experience to career pilot. The\nprogram, appropriately call The Aviator program, is designed to create the\nall-around professional. When building this career program, Sierra Charlie wanted\nto provide students with the best possible training tools in the industry. With\nthe purchase of 9 brand new Cessna 172\u2019s from the factory, and a brand new 2020\npiper Seminole, the mission now was to find the best flight simulator to meet\nthe Aviator Program\u2019s needs. The needs were simple, SCA wanted an exact 1:1\nmatch of the Cessna 172S G1000Nxi, good reliability\/maintenance, and a SIM that\nstudents would enjoy. The AL172 from ALSIM did just that. Since the AL172 has\nbeen in operation it has received raving reviews from our students and\ninstructors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madi Rhodes, the Aviator Program student, says: \u201cThe AL172\nhas allowed my instrument flight training to be a breeze. Having a flight\nsimulator that is an exact model of our schools\u2019 airplanes allows for such an\neasy transition into the airplane. Compared to other flight simulators I\u2019ve\nused, the AL172 has been unmatched.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott Campbell, Sierra Charlie Founder and President adds:\n\u201cWith the amazing growth of the Aviator Program. Sierra Charlie Aviation is happy\nto announce that our second AL172 from ALSIM will be arriving in January. This\nsecond simulator from our partners at ALSIM will allow us to serve more\nstudents as the Aviator Program continues to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Scott Firsing of ALSIM\u2019s North America office adds:\n\u201cSierra Charlie\u2019s overall growth has been remarkable. They logged over 350 hrs\nin their simulator in August. It basically runs morning, afternoon and night.\nScott Campbell and the team \u2018get it,\u2019 meaning the sim is an ideal environment\nto learn and practice. Moreover, hardwiring scenarios and other training in the\nAL172 is an absolute necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sierra Charlie Aviation has renewed its trust in ALSIM by purchasing the second AL172 simulator.
