Civil Aviation Flight University Of China To Buy Flight
Simulation Equipment During 2005 Mission Quebec To China
Mechtronix Systems says it has signed a contract for the order
of three Ascent Cessna 172 Skyhawk Flight Training Devices to the
Civil Aviation Flight University of China. The C172 FTDs will
be used for entry-level pilot training and installed at the CAFUC
Simulation Training Center in the People's Republic of China.
The signing ceremony took place during Mission Qu�bec
Chine at the Aviation Expo/China 2005 in Beijing, and was witnessed
by Qu�bec Premier Jean Charest in honor of the 2005 Mission
Qu�bec to China. The mission aims to encourage
Qu�bec companies from Canada to strengthen its existing
business partnerships between China and Qu�bec.
"The government of Qu�bec is committed to supporting its
companies by providing easier access to the Chinese market as well
as reaffirming relations between China, Canada and Qu�bec,"
said Premier Jean Charest. "We look forward to continuing to
build upon our relationships in China with the cooperation of
Canadian business innovators and leaders like Mechtronix."
To date, CAFUC has ordered from Mechtronix:
- 1 Ascent B737-800 FFS XTM
- 2 Ascent Cessna Citation Jet 1 (CJ1) FFS XTM
- 1 Ascent Cessna Citation Jet 1 (CJ1) Level 5 FTD
- 1 Ascent Piper Seminole Level 5 FTD
Mechtronix' Ascent B737-800 FFS XTM recently received Level D
certification by Transport Canada and the Civil Aviation Authority
of China (CAAC). In appreciation of the partnership between
the two organizations, Mechtronix donated a fourth C172 FTD to
CAFUC at the Aviation Expo/China 2005.
"We greatly appreciate Mechtronix' donation to CAFUC and look
forward to deploying the new simulator in our expanding flight
training program," said Buke Chen, Vice-President of
CAFUC. "We are very pleased with Mechtronix' commitment to
providing the highest quality service and technology in flight
simulation."
"We greatly value our growing bond of trust that we have forged
with CAFUC," said Xavier Herv�, President of Mechtronix
Systems. "We consider the donation a great investment in the
future of flight education and civil aviation in China and we are
honored to have Qu�bec Premier Jean Charest present at the
signing of our latest contract with CAFUC."
