ALSIM has announced that MH Cockpit, based in India, has acquired an AL250 simulator—marking a significant step in MH Cockpit’s expansion plans and reinforcing its ambition to build a robust aviation education and training ecosystem both within India and internationally. The AL250 simulator supports core early‑stage pilot training—including PPL, CPL, Instrument, and Multi‑Engine ratings—and features a reconfigurable SEP/MEP setup certified as EASA FNPT II, FAA AATD, and Transport Canada FTD Level 2 with IPC capability. It also provides both analog and glass cockpit configurations that can be switched instantly. Since its introduction, the device has been exceptionally well received, with more than 125 units installed and operating successfully worldwide.

Ahamed Subair, Chairman of MH Cockpit, commented: “The partnership supports MH Cockpit’s expanding aviation education, pilot training, competency-based training and aviation technology ecosystem, with plans for new Flight Training Organisations in India and overseas. This positioning reflects that the AL250 acquisition is part of a broader strategic initiative by MH Cockpit to develop a comprehensive aviation ecosystem rather than being solely a simulator acquisition.” 

Anna Lezoray, Sales Manager at ALSIM, stated: ”We are delighted to partner with MH Cockpit and support their vision of creating an integrated aviation training ecosystem in India. The AL250 will strengthen their simulator-based training capabilities and complement their competency-driven approach to pilot development. We look forward to building a strong, long-term partnership with MH Cockpit and supporting their continued growth as they prepare the next generation of aviation professionals in India and beyond.”

MH Cockpit is an aviation education, training, content, and technology company dedicated to shaping the next generation of aviation professionals and supporting the organisations that train them. Its education portfolio spans a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes—including Aerospace Engineering, B.Sc. Aviation, B.Sc. Aeronautical Science, BBA Aviation, and MBA Aviation—delivered in partnership with leading universities across India, where MH Cockpit serves as a knowledge partner.

Beyond academics, MH Cockpit guides aspiring pilots through their ab‑initio CPL journey, offering structured preparation for Indian DGCA examinations. The company also develops Competency‑Based Training and Assessment modules, digital aviation learning content, and training management software solutions for Flight Training Organisations.

Aligned with its long‑term growth strategy, MH Cockpit is establishing new Flight Training Organisations in India and abroad, aiming to build an integrated aviation ecosystem that connects education, flight training, simulation, competency development, digital content, and aviation technology.
