Belgium – Flight simulator manufacturer ALSIM is pleased to share that Air Academy New CAG, based in Belgium, has conducted over 15,000 flight hours on its ALSIM AL42 simulators which it has been using for over 10 years.

This reliability played a factor in Air Academy New CAG’s trust in ALSIM by ordering another two AL42 devices in February 2025.

The AL42 is an exact replica of the Diamond DA42, built using genuine aircraft parts and equipped with the authentic Garmin™ G1000® Nxi. It also comes with the latest generation image generator (VFR-VS), GFC™ 700 autopilot, and a force feedback system that ensures increased realism. It can also be equipped with either analog or glass (EFIS) backup instruments.

The AL42 model is designed for CPL IR/ME and PPL training in compliance with current regulatory standards of EASA FNPT II (level).
