Nashua Flight Simulator Changes Name To National Flight Simulator

Manchester, N.H. - Nashua Flight Simulator has gone national - to National Flight Simulator (NFS). The corporate name change reflects client and revenue growth, and an increased geographic service area according to Stephen Cunningham, President and CEO of National Flight Simulator.

Cunningham is a well-known industry expert and advocate for flight training and safety who established the company in 2006. National Flight Simulator specializes in recurrent training programs and instrument proficiency checks on cabin-class piston twin engine, turbo-propeller twin engine, high performance single-engine, and turbo propeller single-engine aircrafts using flight simulators and airborne hours. National Flight Simulator's 2015 financials showed the company experienced a record 63% revenue growth as a result of new and returning clients.

"I've been told that is an impressive figure especially in our slow-growing economic environment," said Cunningham. "Our growth was achieved with the expertise of many people including our highly skilled instructors and collaboration with the Community Loan Fund staff. Moving forward, we anticipate 2016 will be another banner year for National Flight Simulator."

Location and geography was another reason that prompted Cunningham to select National Flight Simulator as the new corporate name. In January 2015 the company moved its headquarters from Nashua's Boire Field to a larger office space located at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport's (MHT) Ammon Center.

"A lot of people were confused, especially our international clients, because our company name misrepresented our location," Cunningham added. NFS clients applauded the relocation as it allows them hassle-free access to nearby hotel accommodations and a courtesy car for the three-day, recurrent training program.

"For me this was a big plus because I'm able to fly my aircraft into MHT and then receive personalized, one-on-one training in the simulator and my own aircraft," said Chuck Schmieler, a NFS recurrent training turboprop client from North Carolina and Florida. "During my recent training I was impressed with how well my instructor knew my aircraft and give me valuable pointers flying and handling my aircraft in different conditions. He also showed me how to better incorporate my customized instruments when flying."

Cunningham added that in addition to technology, NFS provides clients with a solid foundation in flying the plane instead of solely relying upon technology. "When there's an unexpected failure who and what is going to fly the aircraft?" he said. "That's the take-home message we impress upon all our clients. "We are growing company that continues to maintain our focus on the client and our client's training goals," Cunningham added. "I hand-picked every one of our 15 flight instructors. I remain confident that we can continue to give new and returning clients a one-of-a-kind training experience."
