Two Ascent Systems To Be Configured For DA-42
Mechtronix Systems is proud of its
place as the fastest growing and third leading provider of flight
training equipment in the world... and the company continues to
look higher. This week, the company announced the purchase by ESMA
Aviation Academy for two Ascent Flight Trainers.
These will be configured as Diamond DA-42 for its flight
training facility based in Montpellier, France. The academy plans
to use the easy to operate FNPTs to provide Instrument Rating (IR)
training as the school renews its fleet with modern DA-42 that will
be used to meet the growing training needs of its current training
programs for its French, Vietnamese, Chinese airline cadets. ESMA
has been heavily investing in the past two years in modern teaching
aids such as these two last purchases.
Both Ascent Flight Trainers will feature a 150 x 35 degree
visual system that will provide its users with exceptional
fidelity. The units will be equipped with the latest autopilot
technology Garmin GFC 700 providing more precision to the students'
navigation. Additionally, the devices will feature a wider shell
providing an ergonomic environment for easier interaction between
the instructor and the student.
"We look forward to taking delivery of the state-of-the-art
Mechtronix simulators giving us the possibility to offer the latest
technologies to our students and further strengthens our leadership
in France and worldwide," said General Director Mr. Jean Durand of
ESMA. "These two key purchases will allow us to provide both our
students and instructors with a state-of-the-art device for IR
training. Mechtronix offers a high-end product at an affordable
price allowing for high quality visual system, realism of actual
flight environment and easy to operate and maintain."
"We are thankful that ESMA has chosen our Ascent Flight Trainers
for their new training program. We are convinced that ESMA is now
well equipped to offer the latest and best technologies there is
for flight training", said Mechtronix' President Xavier Herve.
"These two sales with ESMA reinforces Mechtronix leadership on the
French market towards high end airline-oriented FTOs. These orders
follow a series of successes in France with customers such as ATR
and SEFA."
Founded in 1988 and taken over by De Heerd Investments Ltd in
December 2006, ESMA is the only school in Europe to cover all
requirements in the airline training field. The school offers a
training syllabus in these four main areas: Pilots, Cabin Crew,
Mechanics, Airport Ground Staff.
