ETC earned additional
bragging rights this week with the announcement that the Royal Thai
Air Force (RTAF) has awarded ETC an extension of the current PC-9
simulator maintenance support contract. This contract will be
fulfilled by ETC's International Logistics Support/Contracted
Operations and Maintenance Service (ILS/COMS) division. ETC's
ILS/COMS has provided onsite engineering and logistic support since
1998 to the complete satisfaction of RTAF. The contract extension
reflects the RTAF's trust in ETC to keep these critical trainers
fully functional and up to date. As a result of this contract
renewal, ETC's responsibilities are being extended through the 2005
calendar year.
ANN Sponsor, ETC, supplied three flight simulators to support
PC-9 training aircraft for the Royal Thai Air Force in the
mid-1980s. To date, these simulators have trained thousands of
pilots. As part of ETC's "turn-key" service capability, ETC has
implemented performance upgrades as part of a multi-year plan to
maintain these simulators as state-of-the-art technology devices.
Further, ETC's service has enabled the RTAF to maintain continued
training capability with virtually no lost training time.
ETC has established a long-term relationship with the Armed
Forces of Thailand, based on consistently providing quality
products and service starting with the central hyperbaric facility
at the Royal Thai Navy facility in Bangkok. Building on that
relationship, ETC has also supplied a full Aeromedical Training
Center including an Ejection Procedures Trainer, GYROLAB GL-1500
Advanced Spatial Disorientation Trainer, a Hypobaric (altitude)
chamber, a 6-man hyperbaric (dive) chamber, and a Night Vision
Training facility.
William F. Mitchell, ETC's President and CEO, stated "ETC has
enjoyed an excellent relationship with the Armed Forces of Thailand
for the past 20 years. The renewal of the PC-9 simulator contract
is another important step in strengthening this relationship and
establishing opportunities for new business. ETC remains committed
to providing the very best products and services to support
Thailand's aeromedical training and simulation needs"
