MONTREAL -- Mechtronix Systems Inc. (MSI), a flight training equipment provider, announces successful In-Plant Acceptance (IPA) for the B737NG FFS X being built for the Gozen Group. The B737NG FFS X is being installed for deployment and commissioning at the aviation group's new flight training center, the IFTC, in Istanbul, Turkey. Final qualification of the simulator will be performed under JAA and is to happen shortly in the next few weeks.
"We are very pleased that Mechtronix' FFS X has met the important performance standards we set forth and are looking forward to the unit's timely delivery and use at our new state-of-the-art facility," says Mekin Gozen, president & CEO of Gozen Group. "I am confident that this and other Mechtronix flight simulators in production will provide the solid foundation for our new training center and provide the economy, safety, reliability, fidelity, and quality we need to be a world-class airline."
"We are very pleased to have accomplished this important milestone in our relationship with Gozen and look forward to this unit's final deployment and that of others in the New Year", says Xavier Herve, president of Mechtronix. "This key accomplishment also continues to demonstrate Mechtronix' unique grasp of the market and its unique capabilities as a world leader in providing high quality and economical flight training technology to flexible and dynamic airlines, like the Gozen Group, that will no longer settle for yesterday's technology today."
The Turkish service group's new FFS X will offer to pilots the ability to perform 100 percent of their initial and recurrent training more economically at its home training center. The FFS X is the new generation simulation architecture, making it much easier and less costly to own and operate compared to the "classic" old generation simulators. The FFS X architecture is all about "true high fidelity" simulation, utilizing OEM data for "100 percent replication" and maximizing the use of OEM software for simulated displays and avionics, thereby significantly reducing and eliminating hardware.
