IFTC-Boeing PartnershipBoeing and IFTC Partner to Enhance Flight Training Capability in the region
JapaneseStaryerstartstrainingathomeinKitakuyshuwithMechtronix
a320 ffs xLevelDthisOctober2012
Starfyer became the rst 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 o their training operations.
Mr. Shinichi Yonehara, President and CEO o Starfyer: We demand the
very best in quality and reliability o 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 o 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 urther
training demands, both initial and recurrent, as our airline grows.
The Mechtronix A320 FFS X was qualied Level D by the Japanese civil
aviation authorities JCAB and became ready or training on time as per the
original schedule. Mechtronix will also perorm maintenance and support
services or the A320 FFS X or the next ve 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 o Boeing Flight
Services, resulting in a ull range o training
solutions that will address the growing
demand or commercial airline pilots in
the region. IFTC currently operates ve
Mechtronix B737NG and A320 ull fight
simulators and fat panel trainers in state o
the art acilities in Istanbul and Antalya.
Marty Van Veluw, CEO o IFTC, comments,
We had a mission when we started
operations almost 3 years ago: to oer the
highest quality o training, to constantlyimprove our services, to make it cost
ecient or 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 o
this agreement is a result o IFTC ollowing
its mission. Boeing, like IFTC, is orward
thinking and looks or creative solutions. We
thereore expect that this agreement is just
the beginning o a successul partnership or
Turkey as well as or the region, and we are
very excited to be working together

best managed airline in Middle East, led by Mr. Adel Ali named
Airline CEO o the Year or 4 years. Air Arabia is known as one

The deployment o this Boeing 737-800 FFS X which was
qualied level D by the Austrian CAA under EASA will urther
enable IFTC, a long-time customer o Mechtronix, to cater to the
training needs o SunExpress (a joint venture between Turkish
Airlines and Luthansa), and to address the continuously growing
demand or commercial pilot training in Turkey and the region.
This marks the delivery o the 5th Full Flight Simulator or the
International Flight Training Center (IFTC) in Turkey. The ocial
opening o the I FTC-Boeing Antalya rst ully sustainable fight
training center took place on September 22nd 2012.
Mr. Marty van Veluw, CEO o IFTC said: We have been working closely with Mechtronix or the
last our years, and we look orward to pursuing this partnership or uture projects. The recentunveiling o our sustainable training center in Antalya is another step orward and we are proud
that it is equipped with the Mechtronix Boeing 737-800 FFS X. Our ve ull fight simulators
have the lowest cost o operations on the market and this is a key actor in cleverly managing a
training center.

Operators seek the most motivated,
committed and skilled fight crew; this is
why major airlines such as QuantasLink,Virgin Australia, Dragonair and Cathay
Pacic, to name but a ew, have entrusted
us with their Pilot Cadetship Programs.
Like us, Mechtronix commits to excellence
in oering tailor-made training solutions
to their customers. FTA has made
this investment with a view to meeting
increasing customer demands or the most
advanced and t-or-purpose technology
available. The MPL compliance o the
Mechtronix simulators will allow us to oer
current and new customers a training

FFT X
- MPLThe MPL is the latest ab-initio training paradigm that aims to provide new co-pilots specically
trained and competent rom day one or the right hand seat o a commercial airliner. As such there
is a strong dependence on the use o Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) throughout all our
phases o the MPL, rom PPL fying in Phase I to the eventual type rating in Phase IV.
Mark Dranseld, VP at Mechtronix, added We saw that the FSTD needs o our
MPL customers in phases II and III diered considerably depending on how they
structured the balance o live and virtual fying in their basic and intermediate MPL
phases. As well as the generic jet XJ FTD that we already supplied we identied
the requirement or a more type specic device capable o gradually introducing
the eventual line aircrat system complexity while maintaining the generic training
principles rom day one o Phase II right up until the type rating. So we developed
our FFT X MPL concept which is a ully type specic cockpit with FFS handling, perormance,
sound and visual systems but with a congurable overhead panel to allow the instructor to build up
system complexity without the students getting overwhelmed as they develop MCC and CRM skills.
