Lufthansa Flight Training Orders B-737NG Simulator from Mechtronix

Lufthansa Flight Training (LFT) has ordered a B-737NG NZFT (non-zero flight time) full-flight simulator (FFS) from Canada's Mechtronix.

According to Mechtronix, its NZFT configuration offers a way for airlines to meet 100% of their recurrent training requirements in a lower-cost training device that has a comparable level of fidelity as a "classic" ZFT (zero flight time) Level D device, which LFT had been using exclusively up to this time.

The new Mechtronix FFS X model will be based at LFT's Flight Training center at Schönefeld Airport in Berlin, and will be ready for training Hapagfly pilots in the summer of 2007.  Hapagfly will take up the majority of the new simulator's capacity.  04-07-2006.
