Toronto, Aug 25 - The Aero Club of India has signed a deal with Canada's Mechtronix Systems Inc. to purchase two state-of-the-art flight stimulators for training.The two simulators will be used at New Delhi and Patiala flying clubs to impart instrument training to students.

The two simulators have bought under the Indian government's project to offer modern training technology to flying schools.

Called Ascent Flight Trainer, each simulator is a copy of Cessna 172 cockpit with Garmin 1000 avionics. During training in flying clubs and aviation schools, students train not only with real planes but also with simulators which create real-life flying conditions within cubicles.

'The Cessna 172 cockpit (simulator) will deliver a high fidelity flight experience replicating 100 percent of the touch and feel of real avionics parts,'' Montreal-based Mechtronix Systems said in a statement after the deal Monday.

'We look forward to taking delivery of Mechtronix simulators and see these key purchases as a way to offer training on modern state-of-the-art technology,'' said Aero Club of India secretary general R. C. Kanda.

He said, 'The Ascent Flight Trainers will help our school to optimize their training curriculum and support our expansion plan.

'Mechtronix had a complete offer that met our criterion based on superior technology, cockpit and architecture realism, high fidelity platform, performance and reliability.''

There are about 40 flying clubs in India which mostly use Cessna planes for training.
