BAFA receives qualification for Mechtronix Trainer

Nov. 4, 2009, Montreal, CNW Telbec – Mechtronix Systems, a division of Mechtronix World Corp., today announced the successful certification of the
Ascent(R) XJ Trainer(TM) recently installed at Ben Air Flight Academy (BAFA). The unit, located at Antwerp in Belgium,
is configured as a large twin-engine jet aircraft and has been certified FNPT II MCC under EASA regulation by the Service Public
Fédéral Mobilité et Transport; it will also be used for Phase 2 of the MPL Program.

The Ascent(R) XJ Trainer(TM) is equipped with a conversion kit to
commercial turboprop and fully functional FMS, EFIS, TCAS, EGPWS,
weather radar, and offers exceptional Full Flight Simulator comparable
visual system fidelity featuring a 180 degrees Field of View. These
features will allow students to familiarize themselves with the
automated flight deck as well as the performance and speeds of today's
modern jet aircraft.

"The Ascent(R) XJ Trainer(TM), our second Mechtronix' unit, is the
ideal tool to prepare our students to the jet environment", stated Mr. Marc Kegelaers,
CEO of BAFA. "While training for MCC, they will get familiar with
modern automated jet environments. Mechtronix' Ascent(R) XJ Trainer(TM)
is the best device we have found available on the market to introduce
the EFIS environment and the functionalities of the FMS. This is a
considerable advantage to our students and our academy as our pilots
will be more knowledgeable and proficient, while we are maximizing our
price/training capability ratio".

"We are honored to be once again associated to BAFA", said
Mechtronix' President and COO Mr. Xavier Hervé. "The Ascent(R) XJ
Trainer(TM) is a clever choice for any training organization that
wishes to bridge the gap between general and commercial aviation. We
have based this trainer on advanced systems developed through building
Full Flight Simulators and we have packaged them in a flight training
device. As a result, the end user is training on a device that has the
same fidelity as a full flight when it comes to avionics and systems.
Another example of the quality of the XJ is that it is fitted with the
same Image Generator as the one in our full flights, which brings an
unmatched image quality for a FTD. We trust BAFA will attract the new
generation of pilots with this high quality training device".
