Re: Arizona State University using PilotEdge in King Air sim

Thanks guys. There are actually quite a few colleges that use us, but this is the first one to properly integrate it into one or more of their classes, and the first to do a news piece about it. Others are on the way, slowly.
When PilotEdge was first started, we knew it would take a while to find out which verticals would be strong and which would be soft. Thus far, colleges have been slow to move and most really don't have a lot of money to throw around. They're also generally terrified of altering their FAA approved training programs on the flight line. So, we're often limited to being integrated on the academic side.
The sales cycle at the larger colleges seems to take years, not months. Oh the stories I could tell.
Aviation English training is likely to be more of a hit, that's where I'm focusing a lot of time behind the scenes right now.
