ETC's Aircrew Training Systems Awarded Contract from UAE Air Force for Pilot Selection System
20 Marzo 2014 - 2:13PM
For Immediate Release
SOUTHAMPTON,
PA, USA, March 20, 2014 - Aircrew Training Systems
("ATS"), a division of Environmental Tectonics Corporation (OTC
Pink: ETCC) ("ETC" or the "Company"), announced today the signing
of a contract with the United Arab Emirates Air Force ("UAEAF") for
the procurement of its state-of-the-art Pilot Selection System
("PSS"). The PSS will help the UAEAF to select the most qualified
pilot candidates to continue on to flight training school, and will
be installed at Khalifa bin Zayed Air College in Al Ain, UAE next
spring.
ETC's PSS is an integrated testing
program used to determine whether candidates have the required
aptitude for becoming a pilot. It evaluates potential aircrew by
utilizing extensive cognitive and psychomotor testing. After the
most qualified candidates are selected, their ability to execute
conscious attention management is assessed in a dynamic
motion-based flight simulator to fully determine their suitability
for flight training. The system is designed to evaluate large
numbers of pilot candidates in a short period of time to select the
most qualified flight crew to continue on to training.
"We are very pleased to be working
once again with the UAE Air Force," said Alper Kus, Vice President
of ATS. "This advanced system will not only provide them with
a reliable means of screening pilot candidates, but save valuable
training resources in the process."
ETC has been supplying the UAE
Armed Forces with training equipment for nearly three decades,
since it first commissioned their Aerospace Medical Training Center
in Abu Dhabi in 1986.
