In May 2012, Mechtronix Inc. successfully
completed a comprehensive restructuring
of its business which culminated in a
substantial injection of new funds and
reduction of its debt. As a result, the
Company is positioned to execute its
business plan over the long term.
Mechtronix management team decided
to implement important fnancial and
operational improvement measures
to ensure the competitiveness of the
business. In the last three years, important
transformational changes were made
in all operational functions, and this
restructuring represents another step in the
implementation of a strategic plan, which
will allow the team to focus on Mechtronix
core business which has always been the
design, manufacture and delivery of world
class fight simulators and related services.
All these initiatives were led by our
Leadership Team which to this day,
remains unchanged.
Mechtronix CEO Fernando Petruzziello said
We worked hard to develop a long term
plan to position Mechtronix as a strong
player for the future. Our 200-strong team
continues to build innovative high quality
simulators and provide our customers
with the highest quality comprehensive
global customer support. 2012 marks
the 25th anniversary of our business. We
are delighted to be part of this exciting
industry and we thank our customers
for their trust, confdence and continued
support as we move forward as a stronger
and recapitalized business. Mechtronix
has acquired a reputation for being at the
forefront of customer and industry needs,
offering innovative products, complete
after sales
support and
training center
services. This
restructuring
ensures that we
will continue
to excel in all
aspects of its

IFTC-Boeing Partnership
Boeing and IFTC Partner to Enhance Flight Training Capability in the region

LevelDthisOctober2012
Starfyer became the frst in Japan to adopt the Mechtronix Train@Home
business model with its proven ability to dramatically cut the costs
associated with sending pilots away to train while improving availability and
quality of their training operations.
Mr. Shinichi Yonehara, President and CEO of Starfyer: We demand the
very best in quality and reliability of the technology, he says, but also
greater fexibility in our operations. We looked at the other established
players in the market but selecting Mechtronix as the right partner became
quickly obvious.
By having a Mechtronix simulator at our own training centre we will be
able to train our pilots at home, in their local environment, with all of the
commensurate savings in costs and time that this brings. We will no longer
have to send our pilots away, and will have the capacity to cope with further
training demands, both initial and recurrent, as our airline grows.
The Mechtronix A320 FFS X

was qualifed Level D by the Japanese civil

aviation authorities JCAB and became ready for training on time as per the
original schedule. Mechtronix will also perform maintenance and support
services for the A320 FFS X

for the next fve years.

IFTC and Boeing have partnered to expand
the capabilities available to airline customers
in Turkey and the Region. This partnership
combines the existing IFTC operations
with the training expertise of Boeing Flight
Services, resulting in a full range of training
solutions that will address the growing
demand for commercial airline pilots in
the region. IFTC currently operates fve
Mechtronix B737NG and A320 full fight
simulators and fat panel trainers in state of
the art facilities in Istanbul and Antalya.
Marty Van Veluw, CEO of IFTC, comments,
We had a mission when we started
operations almost 3 years ago: to offer the
highest quality of training, to constantly
improve our services, to make it cost
effcient for our customers to train at IFTC
and to bring customer service back into the
training industry. We believe that the trust
Boeing has placed in us with the signing of
this agreement is a result of IFTC following
its mission. Boeing, like IFTC, is forward
thinking and looks for creative solutions. We
therefore expect that this agreement is just
the beginning of a successful partnership for
Turkey as well as for the region, and we are
very excited to be working together

unveiling of our sustainable training center in Antalya is another step forward and we are proud
that it is equipped with the Mechtronix Boeing 737-800 FFS X

Operators seek the most motivated,
committed and skilled fight crew; this is
why major airlines such as QuantasLink,
Virgin Australia, Dragonair and Cathay
Pacifc, to name but a few, have entrusted
us with their Pilot Cadetship Programs.
Like us, Mechtronix commits to excellence
in offering tailor-made training solutions
to their customers. FTA has made
this investment with a view to meeting
increasing customer demands for the most
advanced and ft-for-purpose technology
available. The MPL compliance of the
Mechtronix simulators will allow us to offer
current and new customers a training
platform alternative using FTAs upcoming
MPL training course.

FFT X

- MPL
The MPL is the latest ab-initio training paradigm that aims to provide new co-pilots specifcally
trained and competent from day one for the right hand seat of a commercial airliner. As such there
is a strong dependence on the use of Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) throughout all four
phases of the MPL, from PPL fying in Phase I to the eventual type rating in Phase IV.
Mark Dransfeld, VP at Mechtronix, added We saw that the FSTD needs of our
MPL customers in phases II and III differed considerably depending on how they
structured the balance of live and virtual fying in their basic and intermediate MPL
phases. As well as the generic jet XJ FTD that we already supplied we identifed
the requirement for a more type specifc device capable of gradually introducing
the eventual line aircraft system complexity while maintaining the generic training
principles from day one of Phase II right up until the type rating. So we developed
our FFT X

MPL concept which is a fully type specifc cockpit with FFS handling, performance,
sound and visual systems but with a confgurable overhead panel to allow the instructor to build up
system complexity without the students getting overwhelmed as they develop MCC and CRM skills.
