Air Deccan obtains certification for Full Flight Trainer

Montreal: Air Deccan obtained dual certification for a Full Flight Trainer(TM) (FFT(TM)) manufactured by Mechtronix Systems, the fastest growing global provider of flight training equipment. The unit was originally acquired by ATR Training Center of Toulouse, France and placed in India for the training of Air Deccan's pilots. The FFT(TM) is re-configurable between ATR 42-500 and 72-500 models and features GNSS, Weather Radar, TCAS, EGPWS, and a SimAuthor debrief station. It is also equipped with a CAE Tropos Visual System.
The certification process was performed by the DGAC, the civil aviation authority of France, who already approved one similar unit for Toulouse-based ATR Training Center. The dual certification obtained is for FNPT II MCC and FTD Level 2 under JAR-STD 3A and JAR-STD 2A respectively. Mechtronix' FTT(TM) fixed-based simulator supports ATR's new training
platform called Advanced Aviation Training.
