AMST-Aviation B.V., a Netherlands based developer of flight simulation products, shared that, during the Flight Simulator Engineering and Maintenance Conference (FSEMC) 2023, it hosted a side event “Sim Sensations” at its Nieuw-Vennep factory where over one hundred distinguished guests from FSEMC got the chance for a unique behind-the-scenes tour of the AMST facility.

The guests traveled through AMST’s cutting-edge simulation technology, where they saw the VISIM image generator, the AIRFOX IPT Integrated Procedures Trainer, and the AIRFOX FFS Full Flight Simulator displayed at special stations.

“Converting a factory into an event venue was a challenge we enthusiastically accepted,” said AMST. “Using our large walls as projection surfaces, we highlighted some of the other amazing innovations that AMST has created over the course of its 40-year existence, such as Helicopter Rescue Hoist Trainers.”

A few days before the start of the European Airline Training Symposium (EATS) in Cascais, Portugal, Salient and Aviatize announced their collaboration.

Last week, Salient, a Croatian ATO which is part of the Salient Group performed its first sim training after the implementation of the Aviatize all-in-one management platform. The platform will take care of scheduling trainees in simulators that are located in different parts of the world, keep track of gradings and trainee progress but also be the management system in terms of safety and compliance as well as being the administration hub for the ATO.

For Aviatize it is yet another collaboration with a large training organization since it started to focus more on flight training organizations and its move to Phoenix – USA, earlier this year.

Tom Verbruggen – Aviatize’s CEO says: “We are very pleased to have the Salient ATO being part of our growing family. Salient’s ATO has an innovative approach and looks into the future, with the adoption of EBT and CBTA principles. That’s also what we do. For us it is important to show that we do not only provide full support to flight training organisations that fly airplanes or helicopters, but that we are also capable of providing the same value to simulator training.”

Capt. Veronica Zunic – Director for Salient ATO adds “Salient is excited to be working with Aviatize as Aviatize brings with it quality, ease of use and compliance. It is designed by pilots for pilots and is the most user-friendly training management tool that I have seen. It has many features but the compliance and functionality are excellent. The team is professional, helpful and willing to answer queries at any time of the day or night.”

Aviatize is the all-in-one platform for flight schools, ATO’s and the general aviation industry. The in depth platform is very versatile and customizable to the workflows of the customer and replaces up to 10 other applications often used by general aviation companies and flight schools.

It has offices in Phoenix – Arizona, Gent- Belgium and is represented in South Africa. Aviatize will be at EATS in Cascais on 8th and 9th November at stand 913.

Flight School Management Software, Flight Schedule Pro, Announces New Feature – “Billing Packages”

In efforts to support the uplift in accelerated training programs, Flight Schedule Pro’s team has developed a way for flight school operators to sell instruction hours, aircraft hours, as well as products and services in bulk that will entice new student pilots, while delighting the ones you already have by allowing them to focus on the flying, not the finances. See the below extract from Flight Schedule Pro about this new feature;

“Introducing – Billing Packages

‘Billing Packages’ is the solution to bundled pilot program offerings that are customized specific to your operational needs and billed directly within Flight Schedule Pro. From Private Pilot to Career Pilot, students can purchase a package that fits their training goals. The payment(s) will then be treated as credits on their Account Balance and subsequent invoices for items included in the package deduct funds from that account balance. This simplifies the invoices customers are concerned about and focuses them instead on their usage of hours and overall training progress. Your school as well as your student pilots can track the usage of package items, with clear visibility into what was purchased vs what is remaining.

Billing Packages Features

  • Ability to create new billing packages and view the details of created packages.
  • Ability to invoice for a package as a whole, as well as line items included in the package. Item invoices utilize the specialized package rate.
  • Ability to view a list of customers who have purchased a package, the details behind the purchase, and the remaining balance.
  • Dashboard widget for customer accounts that shows the hours purchased vs hours remaining.
  • Ability to transfer hours from one “bucket” into another if a customer is running short and needs additional hours to complete their training.
  • Reporting for packages that can be joined to other reporting analysis grids.”
