Copa Airlines Getting Mechtronix B-737NG Simulator

Mechtronix Systems will provide a B-737NG full-flight simulator to Copa Airlines that will be located at the airline's new flight training center, opening in Panama City in October.

COPA will get Mechtronix's Ascent FFS-X full-flight simulator as well as other elements of Mechtronix's integrated training architecture which consists of a B737NG virtual flight deck and procedural trainer from its partner, Aerosim Technologies.

According to Mechtronix, the Ascent FFS‑X can meet 100% of an airline's recurrent training requirements, with a high level of fidelity, but at "half the price" of a classic zero-flight-time platform (ZFT or Level D) and can be located in a standard building. This means airlines can do all of their recurrent training in‑house, and eliminate the need to travel to special training centers.  02-28-2005.
