Teledyne Controls Reports Strong Orders for Simulation and Safety Products

OTTAWA, CANADA - September 15, 2003 - Teledyne Controls Simulation (TCS), a new name with well established roots in the simulation industry, has been awarded contracts by Lufthansa, Braathens, ANA and TACA to supply its latest generation of flight crew training debrief and aircraft flight animation products. Similarly, the U.S. Coast Guard recently placed contracts for the company's advanced technology simulation platforms.

Lufthansa's Flight Training (LFT) GmbH selected Teledyne's ReVision digital flight crew de-brief system following exhaustive tests and technology bench marking of similar systems. In one of the industry's largest orders for such systems, LFT's customers, in particular Lufthansa German Airlines and Lufthansa Cargo, will be using the debrief systems to support its Airbus A320, Airbus A330, Airbus A340 and Boeing 747-400 flight crew training programs. The ReVision digital debrief systems will be fitted by Teledyne's simulation specialists to four new CAE and THALES flight simulators that are being delivered to Lufthansa during 2004. Lufthansa was the launch customer for the Vision flight animation system in 2001, and continues to use the system to support its Flight Operations Data Analysis (FOQA) program.

Braathens (ASA) flight training, based in Oslo, ordered three digital debrief systems to support its Boeing 737-700 and Boeing 737-400 flight crew training. In addition Braathens selected TCS's Vision flight data animation software to support its Safety department's FOQA program, which uses Teledyne Controls Flight Data Company's GRAF FOQA analysis software. TCS will fit its ReVision digital debrief systems to two full-flight simulators and one flight training device (FTD); all CAE built equipment.

In the civil aviation industry's largest order for safety systems software, All Nippon Airways recently ordered Teledyne's Vision flight animation software for thirteen systems. The Tokyo-based operator will use Teledyne's software as part of a large expansion program for its FOQA flight data monitoring safety program. This software includes virtual flight deck and aircraft simulation for all of ANA's Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) has ordered three ReVision fight crew debrief systems to support training for its HU-25, HH-60 and HH-65 flight crew training in Mobile, Alabama. This contract award was made by American Systems Corporation (ASC), which is the prime contractor responsible for a large simulator upgrade program for the USCG.

TCS's ReVision flight crew training system is designed to provide an advanced technology platform for civil and military instructors to support classroom, crew based training (CBT), fixed base and full flight simulator training and briefing. Based on the company's highly successful CADS system, which was first to market in 1997, ReVision enables airlines and military training centers to make more productive use of instructor resources and increase training program effectiveness.

TCS will also be supplying TACA, based in San Salvador, with its Vision aircraft flight animation system for the reconstruction and visualization of flight operational data. Teledyne Simulation's Vision software package will be integrated with the airline's flight data monitoring and quality assurance programs. TACA's Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft types will be simulated using the latest release of Vision's virtual flight deck and aircraft animation graphics software.

Born from many years of intensive development, Vision is a sophisticated Windows 2000/XP PC-based software application that enables the rapid visualization of complex operational scenarios and utilizes sophisticated high fidelity Flight Path Generation algorithms to compute and visualize the aircraft's precise position and orientation in the real world. Photo realistic aircraft instrumentation, airfield satellite imagery, and navigation and data plots combine to make Vision the product of choice for major airlines around the world that operate flight operations quality assurance and flight data monitoring programs.

Vision, ReVision and Graf are all part of Teledyne Controls' Flight Data Company division, recently acquired from Spirent's Aircraft Information Solutions (AIS) business. The ReVision digital debrief and Vision flight data animation products continue to be designed, marketed and manufactured at the company's Simulation offices in Ottawa.
