Gözen Group Concludes Order With Mechtronix For Airbus A320 and Boeing B737NG FFS X(TM)
Montreal, Canada, November 14 (ots/PRNewswire)
- Mechtronix Systems is to Deliver Two FFS X(TM) Units; an Airbus A320 and a Boeing B737NG in the First and Fourth Quarter of 2007
Mechtronix Systems Inc. (MSI), a fast-growing global provider of flight training equipment, has signed a contract with Gözen Group to provide them with two full flight simulators Zero Flight Time(TM) (ZFT(TM)); with an option for two Non Zero Flight Time(TM) (NZFT(TM)) full flight simulators. These will be configured as Airbus A320 and Boeing B737NG. Gözen Group, a leading Turkish-based aviation service group, is setting up a new training centre in Turkey where these two simulators will reside.
The Turkish service group's new Ascent(R) FFS X(TM) ZFT(TM) will allow them to offer to pilots the ability to perform 100% of their initial and recurrent training. The ZFT(TM) benefits their operators such as it reduces operations costs by having close to 100% of replicated parts and also it reduces wiring and interface requirements by using simulated displays and avionics.
This is MSI's first Airbus aircraft Full Flight Simulator, which once again demonstrates that Mechtronix capabilities as a whole to offer high quality products using different aircraft types is an unbeatable reality. "We are honoured to become a key part of the future of the Gözen Group, a fast moving and dynamic organisation. And also the Airbus part of the aviation world is a great success story and we are proud to become a small part of it. It has been many years we have been preparing and investing for this with our Toulouse based partner SOGELAIRE," commented Mechtronix President Xavier Hervé.
"We have chosen Mechtronix' FFS X(TM) ZFT(TM) because they were able to offer us the lowest cost of ownership, operational reliability, and maintenance friendliness. In addition to that, the level of quality along with the massive costs reductions were a major decision breaker for us," said Mr. Mekin Gözen, President & CEO of Gözen Group.
