For some time, the airline industry has faced a crucial pilot shortage but now, training providers are expanding their facilities and are investing in new partnerships to meet demand. Rob Coppinger reports

French advanced flight training device manufacturer Alsim (Booth 39-40, Hangar D) is a first-time exhibitor at Sun ’n‘ Fun 2018. The company brought with it an AL250 FAA-certified advanced aviation-training device (AATD) and is providing demo "flights" in the unit at its booth during the show.

Alsim now exports flight simulators all over the world. It set up an office in the USA in May 2017 and the company has just signed a partnership agreement with a Chinese supplier. Alsim is the sometimes turbulent story of a small business from Nantes where you can meet artisans with a passion for aviation and training.https://www.aerobuzz.fr/aviation-generale/les-simulateurs-dalsim-a-la-conquete-du-monde/

Asia looks to ramp up training to head off predicted pilot shortage. Currently, all the forecasts about the future of Asian aviation are exceptional, except for one -the forecast that Asia will need 253,000 new pilots between now and 2036. Simply put, there are not enough currently being trained to fill all those cockpit seats as contributor Michael Doran explains.

Alsim has been developing and manufacturing FAA & EASA certified FNPT II, FNPT II MCC and AATD flight simulators since 1994. One of their most recent installations was an Alsim ALX for Aeronav Academy based at Lanseria.
