Global Flight Training Group, Airways Aviation, Announces New Simulator Centre Opening in Australia

Global flight training group Airways Aviation, which operates pilot training academies across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and India, has shared that its Australian Gold Coast base celebrated the opening of its new simulator centre.

The event saw a full house with attendees including key industry partners, academic collaborators from Ansett Aviation Training, Griffith University, Southern Cross University and representatives from Study Gold Coast. The presence of such distinguished attendees emphasised the strong community and educational ties supporting aviation education and training globally, as well as the growth of the pool of aviation professionals and expertise in Australia, particularly in the Southern Queensland and Northern Rivers NSW regions.

For over two decades, Airways Aviation has partnered with ALSIM, the renowned flight simulator manufacturer, to support our first-class training solutions. The new centre features the milestone 100th ALSIM AL250 simulator, an advanced training tool designed to meet the needs of prospective commercial pilots in the initial stages of their career, covering PPL, CPL and IR/ME courses. This versatile simulator offers reconfigurable SEP/MEP capabilities and a switchable classic to glass cockpit, ensuring a comprehensive and immersive training experience.

“We selected the AL250 simulator from ALSIM Flight Training Solutions due to its long-established pedigree, quality, and functionality including the fact that this particular Simulator also eliminates the need for our Australian Academies to operate multiple devices. This aligns with the Airways Aviation ethos of providing the most efficient and cost effective aviation education and training solutions,” said Romy Hawatt – Founder & Chairman – Airways Aviation Group.

The launch event also served as a platform to reaffirm Airways Aviation’s support for the Griffith Aviation MATES program, an initiative that fosters mentorship and development among aviation students. The presence of program leaders and members at the event underscored the collaborative spirit that defines the aviation community on the Gold Coast.

“Moreover, the opening of this simulator centre is a testament to Airways Aviation’s robust international growth, particularly in the MENASA and Southeast Asian territories and will further enhance the capabilities of the Gold Coast and Lismore campuses to attract both domestic and international students,” said Janet Dalby – CEO Airways Aviation – Australasia Pacific Region.

As a proud member of Study Gold Coast, Airways Aviation is thrilled to contribute to the region’s reputation as a premier destination for aviation education. This new facility not only represents a significant investment in local infrastructure but also reaffirms Airways Aviation’s commitment to fostering educational excellence and industry readiness among its students.

In July 2023, Cirrus and Western Michigan University announced a purchase agreement for 32 TRAC20 G7 aircraft. The TRAC20 G7 is the latest generation of the TRAC Series product line which includes the TRAC20, TRAC22 and TRAC22T. The TRAC Series aircraft is an advanced, high-performance aircraft manufactured by Cirrus and designed to be utilized for pilot training.

Cirrus Aircraft and Western Michigan University

As an aviation collegiate partner for nearly a quarter century, Western Michigan University is renewing its current fleet of 28 SR20s to 32 new, TRAC20 G7 aircraft. With the new TRAC20 G7 fleet, Western Michigan University continues to position itself as a leader in training next-generation aviation professionals. The TRAC20 G7 advancements build transferrable skills necessary to seamlessly transition from student to professional pilot.
“Supporting one of the largest collegiate flight programs is exciting, especially during a time when pilots are in high demand,” said Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer of Cirrus. “The TRAC Series G7 offers the students at Western Michigan University a fantastic opportunity to position themselves for a successful career in aviation by training on the most advanced flight deck available with the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® (CAPS®) for a primary trainer.”
With G7, Cirrus adds Cirrus Perspective Touch+ by Garmin® and is the first-ever piston aircraft to incorporate dual Garmin Touch Controllers. Perspective Touch+ offers larger, high-resolution displays with expanded systems integration, enabling a more intuitive flight deck. Integrated systems add to the aircraft’s robust list of stability features including the Electronic Stability and Protection system and an integrated engine indication and crew alerting/warning systems all features found on today’s advanced airliners.
“In 2005, WMU entered into a partnership with Cirrus that persists to this day,” said Dr. Raymond Thompson, Dean of Western Michigan University. “When the University was looking to take collegiate flight training into the 21st Century, they looked no further than Cirrus. Since the arrival of the first TRAC20, WMU has fully embraced the sophistication and benefits of the Cirrus aircraft. From a functional standpoint, the benefits students obtain from learning to fly in the Cirrus result in professional pilot candidates who are career ready.”

Western Michigan University’s College of Aviation offers the only comprehensive aviation program at a public university in the state of Michigan, and with approximately 1,100 undergraduate students, is one of the largest aviation programs in the nation. Backed by 85 years of aviation experience, education, and our excellent industry reputation, WMU’s College of Aviation is a powerful force in the future of aviation training.
