These days some hangar flying in a flight training device doesn’t seem all that unusual, especially to pilots living in cities with local shelter-in-place orders. No matter how realistic a simulator claims to be though, most pilots will tell you they still know the devices are simply pretend airplanes. Trying to take on that realism challenge, French simulator builder Alsim says its new AL42 level 5 FTD is “an exact replica of the Diamond DA40 NG.”
