Ascent FFS XTM Meets CAAC Level D Standards for FFS
On August 14th, the Ascent FFS XTM
Boeing 737-800 Full Flight Simulator received Level D certification
by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), conforming to
the requirements of GB/T 15025-94 flight simulator standards of the
People's Republic of China.
This announcement was made following a speech by Jean Lapierre,
Canada's Minister of Transport, launching the Canada-China Aviation
Symposium in Beijing on September 1st.
Mechtronix says it's the first Ascent FFS XTM to receive CAAC
approval and meet the highest level of fidelity for Full Flight
Simulators. The Ascent FFS XTM is installed at one of the world's
largest pilot training facilities -- the Flight Simulator Training
Center of Civil Aviation Flight University of China (CAFUC) in
Guanghan, Sichuan Province, People's Republic of China.
In compliance with the respective regulations of China and
Canada, it can be noted that the FFS was certified Level D earlier
this year by Transport Canada as well. Furthermore, this device was
also manufactured to Level D standards as defined in the FAA
AC-120-40C.
"This achievement further confirms that Mechtronix Systems is
offering the highest quality flight simulation devices and is
delivering the most advanced flight training technology available,"
said Executive Vice President Li Shuwen of CAFUC. "We will work
with Mechtronix in order to continue providing the best flight
training solutions for our pilots."
"Mechtronix is excited to have obtained CAAC certification for a
device designed and manufactured in compliance with the standards
of civil aviation in China," said Xavier Herv�, President of
Mechtronix Systems. "This certification is a great accomplishment
for us. We look forward to continue working with CAFUC and the
growing number of airlines of China."
