Cirrus Aircraft and ALSIM form alliance to provide next-level training

At Cirrus CX 2022 in Knoxville Tennessee, Cirrus Aircraft and ALSIM Simulators announced an alliance to provide Cirrus customers with a complete flight training solution. ALSIM currently has their ALSR20 simulator, an exact replica of a new Cirrus SR20 G6, on display at the conference.

The ALSR20 will be installed at the Cirrus Training Center in Knoxville after CX.

ALSIM launched the ALSR20 simulator in December 2020. The Flight Training Device (FTD) is Level 5 compliant with the latest aviation standards from EASA and the FAA to Transport Canada and the CAAC. The high-fidelity device contains the latest G6 specific interior cockpit and flight deck including a real Garmin GDU 1050A and GFC 700 Autopilot. The ALSR20 is further equipped with a Garmin® GMA 350C® – All digital Audio Panel and a Garmin® GCU 479® and can simulate the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® (CAPS®).

ALSIM, over the coming months, will sell the Cirrus SR22 and SR22T simulators to help meet the training demand of Cirrus pilots and the Cirrus Training Centers.

At the same time, Cirrus is providing input into ALSIM’s new streamlined SR-series Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD), which is currently being developed at ALSIM Headquarters in France. Like its larger simulator counterpart, it will contain elements such as real Garmin Perspective +, but will have a much smaller footprint, and be more affordable.

Dr. Scott Firsing of ALSIM’s North America office explains: “We have built a strong relationship with the Cirrus Aircraft leadership over recent years. Both companies have always been on the same page regarding the necessity of high-quality equipment that utilizes the latest technology to train professional pilots.”

David Moser, Cirrus Aircraft’s VP of Fleet and Special Mission Aircraft, added “Our cooperative sales alliance with ALSIM will allow us to provide flight training devices, along with our SR-series aircraft,  as part of an integrated flight training solution for our fleet customers. ”

ALSIM’s latest ALSR20 can be demoed with Cirrus in Knoxville. Additionally, both the SR series FTD Level 5 and the smaller ALSIM Cirrus SR AATD will be available to fly at EAA Airventure Oshkosh 2022 in July.

Azorra orders 22 aircraft

Airbus has signed a purchase agreement with Azorra for twenty-two A220 Family aircraft including twenty A220-300s and two ACJ TwoTwenty aircraft. Azorra is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, based aircraft lessor focused on executive, regional and mid-size (“crossover”) aircraft.

Azorra’s purchase is the latest endorsement for the A220 Family aircraft and reaffirms the strong market demand for Airbus’ newest single-aisle aircraft.

“The A220 is ideally suited for Azorra’s growing portfolio. We are excited to partner with Airbus on this popular, next generation aircraft. We look forward to offering its superior economics and environmental efficiency to our customers,” said John Evans, CEO of Azorra. “We are also thrilled with the opportunity to expand Azorra’s executive jet leasing business with the new ACJ TwoTwenty.  Azorra’s  new partnership with Airbus and unique ability to offer fleet transition solutions for airlines and executive jet leases to business aviation customers are key differentiators that bring significant value to our customers. ”

“We warmly welcome Azorra as a new Airbus partner and salute this decision by a renowned player in the regional aviation space. We have seen a significant market appetite for the A220 Family from a growing and diverse customer base. The addition of Azorra’s capabilities in the regional airline segment is a welcome endorsement for the A220 versatility,” said Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International. “This agreement will enhance Azorra’s portfolio strategy of investing in the most comfortable and modern technology aircraft in this segment while it will also enable us to offer A220 Family solutions to an increasingly wider spectrum of airlines”, he added.

The A220 is the only aircraft purpose-built for the 100-150 seat market and brings together state-of-the-art aerodynamics, advanced materials and Pratt & Whitney’s latest-generation PW1500G geared turbofan engines. Featuring a 50% reduced noise footprint and up to 25% lower fuel burn per seat compared to previous generation aircraft, as well as around 50% lower NOx emissions than industry standards, the A220 is a great aircraft for regional as well as long distance routes.

The ACJ TwoTwenty is a new and unique value proposition to business aviation buyers. This game changing aircraft combines intercontinental range to fly over 12 flight hours with unmatched personal space (73m2/785 ft2 of floor space) providing unprecedented comfort for passengers. Equipped with a signature flexible cabin, this fully completed aircraft is ideal for private and business jet users.

As of the end of December 2021, the A220 had accumulated 668 orders from 25 customers. To date, 13 airlines are operating around 190 aircraft on four continents.
