 May 2009 - ATP today announced a large scale roll out of Traffic Information Service (TIS) by providing its entire staff of flight instructors with an MRX Portable Collision Avoidance System by Zaon Flight Systems. The MRX is the most portable, convenient, and smallest collision avoidance system ever created, with digitally accurate range and relative altitude in a package the size of a deck of cards. The PCAS initiative helps pilots maintain situational awareness in the flight training environment.

The PCAS initiative helps pilots maintain situational awareness in the flight training environment.
“It would have taken years to retrofit all 142 aircraft in our training fleet with TIS capability,” said Jim Koziarski, ATP’s Vice President of Flight Operations. “but the Zaon PCAS made it possible for us to quickly and cost-effectively implement TIS on a very large scale nationwide. With the low cost and ready availability of TIS provided by the Zaon MRX, every pilot should have one.” In 1984 ATP pioneered cost-efficient, accelerated multi-engine flight training with an emphasis on pilot career development. Today, ATP’s Airline Training Programs prepare graduates for airline pilot and corporate pilot careers with nationwide flight experience in the largest multi-engine training fleet. Advanced jet training transitions these pilots from light twins to modern regional jets in CRJ-200 flight training devices. With thousands of graduates who have completed airline training on time and on budget, airlines come to ATP first to meet their demand for pilots. ATP flies over 12,000 hours to provide more than 450 FAA pilot certifications each month at 20 locations nationwide. |
