THK Flight Academy, based in Turkey, announced it has acquired an ALSIM ALX simulator. The ALSIM ALX provides up to four classes of aircraft-from single-engine piston, twin engine piston, twin turbine up to medium category twin jet. The device is designed and approved for ATPL, CPL, and MCC in compliance with all current regulatory standards. The ALX offers advanced technology simulation equipment tailored to all specific training requirements. In addition, it has a proven track record for cost-effectiveness and helps save numerous aircraft hours.
Selda Kïtapci, Purchasing Specialist for THK Flight Academy, said: “ THK has chosen to renew its confidence in ALSIM by purchasing the ALX convertible simulator.”
Nicolas Fabries, ALSIM’s Sales Director, said: “We are very glad to pursue this partnership with such a prestigious institution as THK. ALSIM and THK started to work together more than 15 years ago, with two simulators, and the installation of this ALX unit shows that ALSIM is committed to support and bring value to its customers in the long term.”
THK Flight Academy has been in service under the Turkish Aeronautical Association (THK) since 1935. The academy was restructured in 2013 to meet demands of the Civil Aviation Industry.
Candidates who want to become commercial aviation pilots belonging to the academy in Ankara, Izmir, and Antalya, are trained at various flight schools in Ankara and Izmir in order to obtain a commercial pilot license. THK Flight Academy operates a total of 25 aircraft. These are 21 single-engine (19 Cessna 172 S, two Tecnam 2022 JF), and four (two Tecnam P2006T and two Piper Seminole PA-44) multi-engine aircraft.
