Intended For Multi-Crew Pilot License (MPL) program
Alteon Training has
selected an Aerosim-Mechtronix B737-800 Full Flight Trainer FFT for
use within their MPL training program. This FAA Level 6 Flight
Training Device will be used for the first MPL training course
offered by Alteon in Brisbane, Australia.
Marsha Bell, Vice-President of First Officer Program at Alteon
Training, commented, "The increasing demand for pilots is one of
the most critical issues facing our industry today and Alteon is
working with regulators, airlines, vendors and other industry
partners to address this with our MPL beta test. We are confident
that our partnership with Aerosim-Mechtronix will provide
innovative simulation based training solutions for the MPL
test."
The FFT closely replicates the Boeing 737-800 and features high
fidelity aerodynamic and flight control models, RSI image
generator, high resolution fixed-matrix projectors, and powerful
Windows-based instructor station with touch-screen interface. This
device will enable Alteon to cover the intermediate training phase
which includes introduction of multi-crew operations and instrument
flight in a high performance multi-engine jet aircraft.
Alteon is partnering
with an Australian flight training organization for the core and
basic training phases, while the advanced training phase will be
performed on an Alteon's own full flight simulator.
"As the MPL training concept evolves, we are actively working
with our partners to place the cutting edge simulation based
training tools that will help prepare for anticipated pilot
demand," commented Aerosim Technologies Director of Sales, Joe
Hartmann.
"Alteon's purchase of our FFT is a clear indicator of the impact
that our products have had on the aviation training market. We have
always had an innovative approach to all aspects in our business,"
indicated Mechtronix President Xavier Herve.
