I love start-ups. No matter what the industry, I have a lot of respect for someone who has the courage and vision to start their own company. Anyone who has been a part of a start-up will remember the excitement of planning their new business, the nervousness of committing financially and spiritually, and the thrill of the first sale. Having been there myself, I get it.


That is why it has been a pleasure working with the team at AVIER in Beverly, MA. Even thought they are now more than 10 years into their journey, they have never lost the sense of excitement and passion for their work. The spirit of entrepreneurship is shared by every employee and has shaped their success.


When it came time to find a partner for a new venture, I knew it had to be AVIER. So, let me introduce you to AVIER Flight Simulator aka AFSim.



In the simplest terms, AFSim is a provider of initial and recurrent training for operators of various high-performance piston and turboprop aircraft using aviation training devices (AATD). However, AFSim and the services they provide are far from plain vanilla.




In reality, AFSim has brough together a combination of technology, customized curriculum, and expertise that is impressive. Under the leadership of Paul Beaulieu and Esteban Monterroso, AFSim has been carefully designed to provide exceptional training to discerning clients. It is hard to overstate Paul and Esteban's attention to detail and commitment to quality.



The Technology:

The foundation of AFSim's technology are three Elite Simulation Solutions AATD's. The opportunity the acquire these AATD's was the catalyst that resulted in the birth of AFSim. True to form, Paul and Esteban completely immersed themselves in all things Elite. Not satisfied with zoom and emails, they flew to Zurich (yes, Switzerland) to meet the Elite leadership team and discuss the future of the equipment. They returned home fully committed and armed with a comprehensive maintenance and upgrade plan for the AATD's.


The Curriculum:

AFSim's core service is training conducted in AATD's that satisfies insurance underwriter requirements for the operation of certain aircraft. What AFSim delivers is highly customized, scenario-based training that may someday save your life. Most courses start with a deep dive into your aircraft systems. The next phase is a series of flight operations exercises designed to refine your technique and understanding of your aircraft. Then you will be put through a variety of "non-standard" and emergency scenarios that you would not be likely to practice in the actual aircraft. The result is a robust training experience that will elevate your knowledge of your aircraft and your ability to safely manage normal as well as abnormal flight operations.


The Expertise:


AFSim has brought together a team of instructors that not only have significant experience in a variety of aircraft, they are also passionate about training. Many work at AFSim in addition to flying for airlines, medevac, and charter operators. This real-world experience informs their teaching approach and provides the client with a better product. Paul and Esteban's commitment to quality is reflected in the team they have assembled. Professionalism, dedication to safety, and a love for aviation are the core of the culture at AFSim.





It has been my pleasure over the last couple of years to be a small part of the AVIER and, now, AFSim family. Whatever your training needs may be, I encourage you to take a look at AVIER and AFSim. I am sure you will immediately see the difference.
