ASCENT(R) FLIGHT TRAINERS(TM)

with Mechtronix Flexible Technology

MONTREAL, January 26, 2010 - Mechtronix Systems, a division of Mechtronix World Corp. (MWC), a world leading manufacturer of Flight Simulation Training Devices, today announced the successful certification of the two Ascent(R) Flight Trainers(TM) recently installed at Malaysian Flying Academy’s (MFA) brand new training facility in Malacca. The two trainers have been certified JAR FSTD A FNPT II by the Malaysian Civil Aviation Authorities, DCA.

The Ascent(R) Flight Trainers(TM) are configured as a multi-engine piston Seneca III with a conversion kit for Piper Warrior. They feature a 180 x 40 degree visual system and a RSI Image Generator providing exceptional FFS-like fidelity to its users. Its semi-enclosed IOS area enables easy interaction between instructor and student. The unit is also equipped with a lesson plan editor for scenario-based training, enabling the instructor to preprogram and record preset scenarios for unlimited use, thus all students’ performances can be measured to the same criteria.

“We are delighted with the successful certification of our Ascent(R) Flight Trainers(TM); Mechtronix’ leading technology enables us to provide high-standard IR training while lowering costs by reducing aircraft training time”, said MFA Managing Director Puan Seri Sharifah Zarah binti Syed Kechik AlBukhary. “The Ascent(R) Flight Trainers(TM) are fully compliant to our criterion based on affordability, performance and reliability and they enable us to lower flying time while providing our students with an expert knowledge of the aircraft.”

“Mechtronix’ team of professionals collaborated with us from day one and their great experience enabled a smooth certification process which resulted in the successful qualification of both units,” said Steve Terry, Chief Instructor at MFA. “We are very proud of our new training facilities and equipment which are turning MFA into a world class academy.”

“We are very happy about our collaboration with MFA; this new success in Malaysia establishes once again Mechtronix’ leading position on the flourishing Asian market and we are honored to contribute to the expansion of top flying academies such as MFA,” said Mechtronix Systems’ President Hervé. “Mechtronix’ state-of-the-art technology proves to be ideally suited to meet with the growing needs on the Asian market, providing excellent training solutions in terms of cost-efficiency, reliability and performance.”
