Fractional provider PlaneSense has introduced a Pilatus PC-12 NGX level-D flight simulator at Aeronautical Systems Engineering's&nbsp;(ASE) training center in Tampa, Florida. The simulator, co-developed by the two companies as the first of its kind for the NGX model, received FAA approval earlier this month.
This addition is designed to enhance the quality of pilot instruction for its fleet, which includes 46 of the Pilatus turboprop singles. PlaneSense has established classroom space at the ASE facility to support its pilot training program, but will still conduct ground school at its Portsmouth, New Hampshire headquarters. The simulator will be offered for third-party training as demand allows, according to PlaneSense.
“This simulator allows us to fully control the entire pilot training process and further enhance our curriculum to continue to meet the high standards of excellence expected by our program,” said PlaneSense president and CEO George Antoniadis.&nbsp;
With half of the PlaneSense fleet now made up of the NGX model, the simulator will ensure that pilots have the knowledge and skills to safely operate these advanced aircraft in diverse conditions. Founded in 1995, PlaneSense provides flight services across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean.
