Nine Simulators Spread Across Three Cities Serve The King Air
Community
Specializing in King Air simulator training since 1991, SimCom
Training Centers recently completed its 23,000th King Air pilot
training event. The Company has trained King Air pilots in Orland,
FL, Scottsdale, AZ and most recently at its new training center in
Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX (the former PrestoSIM facility). The 23,000
simulator training events have included Initial, Recurrent,
Second-in-Command and Instrument Refresher training, which are
available at all three locations.
With the addition of a ninth King Air simulator at the DFW
facility (the sim was part of the PrestoSIM acquisition completed
earlier this year), SimCom now boasts one of the most comprehensive
and substantial King Air simulator training fleets for every model
of the venerable Hawker/Beechcraft line of turboprop-powered twins.
Specific King Air models for which SimCom offers training include
all Model 90, 100, 200, 300 and 350 series aircraft. Initial type
ratings are available for the 300 and 350 series.
"The simulator experience and the variety of avionics
configurations we offer are well-suited for the majority of the
King Air fleet in service worldwide," said Wally David, President
and Chief Executive Officer. "Our company grew up with the King Air
as one of the premier aircraft, and we have since become a
'specialist' in providing training for it. We attribute our success
to providing customers with a value-oriented, personalized and
friendly training environment. We ensure our King Air customers are
learning from instructors who have significant experience in the
aircraft. We have been fortunate to employ some of the best King
Air instructors around, because it is extremely valuable to learn
from someone who has actual operational experience in the aircraft
you're learning to fly -- and to do so in a safe and highly
realistic environment. We look forward to training the next 23,000
King Air pilots."
Using its 180-degree, wrap-around visual displays, King Air
pilots can perform numerous visual and instrument procedures in a
variety of simulated weather and operational scenarios, including
day, night and twilight in addition to weather conditions
ranging from VFR to low IFR. Pilots can also safely and practice
abnormal and emergency procedures that would be next to impossible
to simulate in the actual airplane. When a King Air pilot completes
any simulator training course at SimCom he/she is well-prepared for
flying in the "real world".
