WCC Aeronautical and Technological College - North Manila (WCC) is soaring to new heights through its continued partnership with ALSIM. With the recent addition of two new flight training simulators: an AL250 and a second ALX simulator, WCC now operates three ALSIM devices. This expansion further enhances its students' training with a safe and immersive learning environment. This collaboration ensures that WCC graduates are not only pilots but highly skilled aviation professionals, fully prepared to meet the demands of the industry.

AL250 simulator addresses the initial phase of training needs (PPL, CPL, IR/ME) and is a SEP/MEP reconfigurable simulator certified as an EASA FNPT II. In addition, it offers both classic and glass cockpits for each flight model at the simple flick of a switch. This device has been extremely well received since its creation and more than 100 units have already been installed and are in successful operation worldwide.

The newly acquired ALX simulator joins an existing ALX already in service at WCC. The ALSIM ALX provides up to 4 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, 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.
