US Flight School Integrates PlaneEnglish’s ARSim into Curriculum to Build Confident ATC Communication Skills

California, USA – Ascent Aviation Academy, an FAA Part 61 flight training provider based at Van Nuys Airport, has integrated the ARSim Aviation Radio Simulator into its training curriculum in partnership with PlaneEnglish, enhancing student readiness in radio communication — one of the most persistent challenges in early flight training. The collaboration reflects a growing emphasis on modern training tools to build real-world skills before students enter the cockpit.

  • ARSim, developed by PlaneEnglish, provides scenario-based ATC communication training, enabling students to practice phraseology, timing, and situational awareness in a controlled, feedback-driven environment.

  • Ascent Aviation Academy’s use of ARSim supports proactive skill development, reducing student anxiety and increasing communication proficiency before in-air instruction.

  • The integration empowers students to take ownership of their learning, enabling more efficient and confident in-flight lessons.

Ascent Aviation Academy states it is Los Angeles’s largest flight training organisation.

Colorado, USA FTO Places Order for 6 Electric Training Aircraft

Colorado, USA – Centennial Flyers, a flight school based at Centennial Airport (Denver area), has ordered six all-electric training aircraft — the Bristell B23 Energic powered by electric-propulsion specialist H55 — marking the first all-electric training fleet in Colorado.

  • The Bristell B23 Energic is a two-seat, low-wing aircraft adapted from the conventional B23 but equipped with electric motors and batteries, offering up to 70 minutes of flight time per charge.
  • Centennial Flyers expects the first two aircraft to be delivered in 2027, with the remaining four units following in 2028 — subject to the aircraft’s certification timeline.
  • The school emphasises the environmental and community benefits: the electric trainer produces significantly lower noise levels (noise tests during H55’s U.S. “Across America” tour reportedly registered readings at or below ambient levels) and promises lower operating costs compared to piston-engine trainers.
