Commercial Aviation Safety & Training
By Rick Adams, FRAeS
The Halldale Group, organizers of commercial aviation training events, is apparently for sale. At least, that’s what owner Andy Smith has been telling me the past 2-3 years in the wake of the devastating impact of Covid.
Given the current direction, it may be difficult to make a deal for the price they’d like.
This spring, I exchanged a series of messages with Mario Ackerman, Brunner’s enthusiastic sales manager, inviting me to a “not to be missed” event, to be held at the Lufthansa Training Center (LAT).
I was skeptical. There’s so much hype in the market about ‘revolutionary’ products, most of which aren’t. And Brunner volunteered no details.
Yet I was intrigued. So I hopped on a train from Geneva to Zurich Airport, where Mario retrieved me and drove to LAT, a spacious facility which houses full-flight simulators for Airbus and Boeing types, a couple of helicopter models, and assorted other training devices for pilots, cabin crew and ab initio cadets.
