Firefly, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines, has placed an order with Mechtronix for a flat panel trainer (FPT) configured for the ATR 72-600 aircraft. The unit will be installed during the first quarter of 2014. The FPT uses the same software as the Mechtronix ATR 72-600 full flight simulator and is equipped with a rehost package for the Thales New Avionics Suite (NAS). Acquiring the FPT will let Firefly convert its pilots from the ATR 72-500s to the ATR 72-600s.
