The pilot training industry needs innovation and this strategic partnership between ALSIM and the Airline Pilot's Club (APC) is aimed at doing just that. The well-documented pilot shortage requires the need for collaboration and innovation that leverage competency-based training and assessment in a training footprint that produces 'airline ready pilots'. As industry leaders, ALSIM and APC recognize this need and have partnered to provide a more sustainable and efficient flight training industry. This partnership will leverage ALSIM's advanced flight simulators and APC's industry expertise to deliver a unique and effective training experience. The ALSIM and APC partnership will contribute to energising the pilot training industry by sharing resources, knowledge and technology to enhance the quality of training. Key innovations include providing access to APC's comprehensive APS MCC training programme on the ALSIM Airliner product line, leveraging ALSIM's innovative technology and simulators, as well as providing a flexible simulation environment for different types of airliners.
For ALSIM customers, this partnership will allow access to APC's comprehensive training programme and airline partner network to ensure all their requirements are included in their future product development.
APC members will benefit from the integration on ALSIM's innovative state-of-the-art technology and simulators within APC flight training partners' training footprint, which will enhance their training capabilities. Finally, APC airline partners will benefit from having a larger pool of highly trained and qualified pilots, thanks to the integration of ALSIM's advanced training technology and APC's comprehensive training programme.
