Polish Flight School, Noble Wings Academy, Invests in ALSIM’s AL250 Simulator

France headquartered flight simulator manufacturer ALSIM is delighted to announce that Noble Wings Academy, based in Poland, has selected ALSIM by purchasing an AL250 simulator. Noble Wings has been established on the Polish market for a decade and the acquisition of the AL250 fits perfectly into their development and expansion plan.

The AL250 simulator addresses initial phase of training needs (PPL, CPL, IR/ME) and is SEP/MEP re–configurable simulator certified as an EASA FNPT II. In addition, it offers both classic and glass cockpit for each flight model at the simple flick of a switch. This device has been extremely well received since its creation and more than 100 of these have already been installed and are in successful operation worldwide.

Michał Skowroński, CEO of Noble Wings Academy, states: “After few months of research we have decided that the ALSIM AL250 will be the best choice to cover all needs of Noble Wings Academy students. We believe that signing a purchase agreement exactly on the 10th anniversary of our ATO will be a milestone and a great foundation for our future development. We desired to be considered as the best market choice for our students, so that is why we choose the best TRAINING devices for them.”

Anna Lezoray, ALSIM Sales Account Manager, says: “We would like to thank the Noble Wings Academy team for their trust in ALSIM devices and services and are looking forward to our long term and satisfying cooperation.”

About Noble Wings Academy
Noble Wings Academy is an EASA Certified Approved Training organization established in 2014 under PL.ATO.44 certificate number. We operate in training facilities located in Wroclaw (EPWR & EPWS) and Leszno (EPLS) airports, which are supported by Asian Department located in Mumbai.  Out of concern for the condition of our fleet and the safety of students, we have also established our own Certified Aircraft Maintenance Center. After many years of training activities, we had clearly understood that it is nearly impossible to step up to the next level without modern fleet of aircrafts, supported by flight simulation device.

CAE Announces Ready for Training Bombardier Global 6500 Full-Flight Simulator in Alabama, USA

Alabama, U.S.A. – CAE announced the deployment of its integrated solution for the U.S. Army High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation Systems (HADES), featuring the CAE Bombardier Global 6500 full-flight simulator (FFS). The comprehensive training solution is part of the U.S. Army G-2 Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Task Force and the Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), under the Department of Defense’s Sentinel task order from Leidos, Inc. The CAE 7000XR FFS was presented to command leadership as Ready-for-Customer-Training (RFCT) during an official ceremony at the CAE Dothan training center in Dothan, Alabama.

The convertible flight training device achieved Level D Certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the highest standard of fidelity for flight simulators. Additionally, the CAE Dothan training center attained FAA Part 142 certification to support this program, providing graduating aviators not only with certification, but also with an FAA-approved Bombardier Global Aircraft Type Rating.

“CAE continues to set the highest training standards to enable defense forces to achieve mission readiness and accelerate training capabilities,” said Merrill Stoddard, USA Division President, CAE Defense & Security. “In less than 15 months from the program award, we are standing together, ready to train these essential Army aviators – that is a testament to our dedication and understanding of the demands on our customers.”

In addition to the HADES program, CAE supported the lead in programs with Flight Training Support of Aerial Tech Demonstrators for the Aerial Reconnaissance and Electronic Warfare System (ARIES), Airborne Reconnaissance and Target Exploitation Multi-Mission System (ARTEMIS), and the Army Theater-Level High Altitude Expeditionary Next Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ATHENA) S/R.

“CAE is a unique partner for our customers as we work across our business to leverage the resources and solutions from both civil and defense sectors to meet the demands of pilot training,” said Marc Parent, CAE President and CEO. “Leveraging innovation, advanced technology, and centers and devices around the world, we create a rapid on-ramp to training that easily transitions to the needs of defense forces today and in the future.”

The Bombardier Global 6500 aircraft was selected as the new manned aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platform to meet current and emerging requirements. The platform supports the critical needs of speed, range, endurance-at-range, and altitude to overcome the physical challenges without sacrificing the unique quality and capability of collection that airborne ISR provides.

The delivery of the CAE 7000XR full-flight simulator in the Bombardier platform configuration supports the military requirements of providing timely, relevant, and accurate intelligence to tactical, operational, and strategic commanders.

“HADES is the centerpiece of the Army’s long-promised Aerial ISR transformation strategy,” said SES Andrew Evans, Director, U.S. Army ISR Task Force. “HADES allows the Army to fly higher, faster, and farther which directly impacts our ability to see and sense deeper, delivering an organic capability in line with the Secretary of the Army’s number one operational imperative [Deep Sensing]. Transforming this enterprise efficiently and safely starts with our people – and investing in people means investing in how we train to develop readiness. Our partnership with CAE is a reflection of the value we place in leveraging industry leading technology partnered with rock-solid training fundamentals. We believe the tasks, conditions, and standards our Aviators learn through the CAE partnership will enable them to safely and effectively employ a Global 6500 anywhere in the globe, any time, in any number of challenging conditions.”

Chinese Flight Simulator Manufacturer U-Wing Simulation Passes Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) Certification

Recently, the Cessna C172 and Diamond DA40&42 Specific&Convertible Advanced Aviation Training Devices independently developed and produced by U-Wing Simulation have successfully passed the certification of Advanced Aviation Training Devices (AATD) by China Academy of Civil Aviation Science and Technology (CASTC), which marks that U-Wing Simulation has become the first manufacturer in China to have passed the inspection of AATD, and its R&D and manufacturing capabilities and product technical standards have been fully recognised.

China’s AATD certification standards align with those of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), reflecting strict requirements for quality, performance, and technical parameters in aviation training devices. The industry standard “Specification for Advanced Aviation Training Device Assessment” (MH/T 9011-2021) provides clear technical guidance and standard references for AATD certification, streamlining the certification process and accelerating industry development and openness.

This certification holds significant importance for the flight training industry. AATDs provide flight students with a highly realistic training environment that can substitute for a portion of actual flight hours under certain conditions, reducing flight risks and improving the safety and quality of pilot training. It also lowers the cost of flight training and enhances efficiency. AATDs have gained widespread recognition globally for their ability to ensure training quality while reducing operating and procurement costs and improving training efficiency. In regions such as Europe and the U.S., AATDs have become standard equipment in pilot schools and flight operators.

With the rapid growth of China’s general aviation and low-altitude economy, as well as the further opening and regulation of low-altitude airspace, the demand for professional flight talent will continue to increase. U-Wing Simulation’s AATD series will help meet this demand by enabling flight schools and other operators to improve safety, quality, efficiency, and cost management in flight training, providing strong technical support for the development of the low-altitude economy.
