SimCom was founded in 1989 with a core business plan focused on providing "value, personal, and friendly" flight training, differentiating itself from larger competitors.
The company initially carved out a niche by offering personalized training for aircraft types often overlooked by bigger providers, starting with non-motion simulators.
SimCom successfully expanded to multiple training centers and now operates and manufactures advanced full-motion Level C and D simulators for various jets and turboprops.
Despite growth and market changes, SimCom maintains its founding mission of delivering high-quality instruction with experienced, understanding instructors in a friendly atmosphere at competitive prices.
I recently got the chance to spend a couple of weeks doing some training at SimCom‘s Lee Vista training center (one of two such SimCom facilities in Orlando alone), and I had a great time.
The great time was no coincidence: it’s part of SimCom’s business plan. No lie.
