Calgary, Alberta, AeroMechanical Services Ltd, operating under its FLYHT™ brand name, announced its customers logged one million flight hours of real-time flight analysis using the Automated Flight Information Reporting System ("AFIRSTM").

“One of FLYHT’s measures of success is the number of flight hours of service provided to customers, so this is a major milestone,” remarked Bill Tempany, president and CEO of AeroMechanical Services. “We want to thank our many customers for their loyalty and assistance in making our services what they are today. We will continue to support them to improve their efficiency, profitability and safety through existing products and the introduction of new technologies.”

The company has tracked the flight hours of AFIRS units since the technology’s commercial introduction in 2005. The flight hours have increased over the past seven years.
