PAST ACHIEVEMENTS EXAMPLES
Explanations...
The company AeroGATES was founded in 2008.
This was the result of a long journey since the 1980s, between personal work carried out by its precursors or through the association STAR (Specialized Training in Aeronautics & Research). STAR was the only UETP (University Enterprise Training Partnership) recognized by the European Union in the aeronautics sector.
Stopped in 2007, its activity reappears under the banner of
AeroGATES.
For the record, the logo was kept.
During this period, many projects were carried out at the request of French or European institutions such as the MEN (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), the AFD (French Development Agency), the European Commission.
Finally, EADS nternational & Airbus asked AeroGATES for projects in the field of the maintenance aeronautical training (PART-66/PART-147 and Bachelor & Master degrees).
The development of the engineering
activity for the benefit of aeronautical training is the core business of AeroGATES.
We will present here the most significant achievements, from the oldest to those in progress or
planned.
Higher Institute for Applied Sciences and Technology (HIAST)
ISSAT (Institut Supérieur des Sciences Appliquées et de la Technologie) - now HIAST - was the first achievement.
Requested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this programme took place from 1980 to1982.
All courses were created, as well as the laboratories (purchase of equipment and installion of practical work)

IMA project (1987)
The project for the creation of the IMA (1987) received a unanimous consensus and many financial contributions for its realization.
The French state provided the land for the construction. The land is located on the edge of the Bordeaux-Mérignac airport, close to aeronautical companies (Sabena Technics, Dassault Industries, Thalès, etc.)
Local authorities (Ville de Mérignac, Conseil Général de la Gironde and Conseil
Régional d'Aquitaine) and the European Union have financed the construction and scientific equipment,
Manufacturers (Airbus and Air France) provided equipment, aircraft and simulators.

Modern laboratories at IMA/Evering
Today, IMA/Evering has the status of an engineering school (INP - Institut National Polytechnique).

EADS International called on AeroGATES to create an EASA PART-147 training center at the CCQ - Competence Center of Qatar. CCQ is a part of the QSTP (Qatar Science Technological Park).
PART-66 courses were created, as well as the laboratories (purchase of equipment and installation of practical work).
The work programme ran from 2005 to 2008.

In partnership with UOB (University Of Balamand), AeroGATES coordinated the SF-HEAT project financed by the EU as part of the TEMPUS programme.
The objective was to open university (bachelor and master) and professional (PART-66) training courses at UOB in the speciality of aeronautical maintenance.
The work programme ran from 2010 to 2013. During this period, AeroGATES developed a new version of the PART-66 courses, MCQs and "open questions".
New features were added to the elearning platform: "ElearnSTATION".
Finally, a large number of new laboratories were created.

RECENT REALISATIONS & NEW PROJECTS
Brief presentation ...
Three new projects have emerged in the last few years:
- the creation of a BSC - Master at USTH, Vietnam,
- the opening of a PART-147 organisation within HeliCONTROL, Hungary ,
- the setting up of a new PART-147 organisation at AMI, Mauritius (See more ...).
Finally, a project to renovate a regional EASA PART 147 training centre in the Caribbean region.
AIRBUS sought the expertise of AeroGATES through IAS (Institut Aéronautique & Spatial) to implement the aeronautics license at USTH.
The work program ran from 2016 to 2018. During this period, AeroGATES developed all training materials and practical sheets. The laboratories are defined (purchase of equipme
nt and installation of practical work).
USTH - Hanoi
Today:
- all the courses are available,
- the laboratories are operational,
- the bachelor course has started in September 2019.
Some bachelor students extend their studies by 1 year in order to obtain PART-66 knowledge (categories B1 and B2). They are generally hired by VAECO.
ENAC “Ecole Nationale Aviation Civile” is in charge of opening a master's degree that follows the bachelor's course.

HeliCONTROL approached AeroGATES in April 2020 to set up an EASA PART-147 training center.
This will be attached to the activity that HeliCONTROL develops in the field of helicopter maintenance. HeliCONTROL is holder of the EASA PART-145 approval and has a great industrial expertise.
In this project, AeroGATES provided its PART-66 courses, the
practical work sheets and the bank of Multi Choice Questions for knowledge testing.
HeliCONTROL contributed the skills of its qualified engineers in training and project engineering. This expertise enabled HeliCONTROL to set
up all the laboratories and prepare the Maintenance Training Organisation Exposition (MTOE) file submitted to the Hungarian authorities for PART-147 approval.
Recently, the Hungarian Civil Aviation Authority has recognized HeliCONTROL as a PART-147 organization.

Restarting the caribbean project:
We will take a closer look at a project to renovate a training center located in Guadeloupe and created in 2017: IMAC (Institut de Maintenance Aéronautique de la Caraïbe).
Difficulties have arisen in its local organization.
The project has therefore been suspended and its restart is planned for 2023. Improvements will be made in order to guarantee its future sustainability.
A first achievement, the IMAC (Institut de Maintenance Aéronautique de la Caraïbe) was born in 2017. It allowed the training of two promotions of students.
Difficulties have arisen in its local organization.
The project has therefore been suspended and its restart is planned for 2023.Improvements will be made in order to guarantee its future sustainability.
This project will shortly be taken over by the training
organization ACS (Aero Caribbean Services).
Training is scheduled to take place on the premises of a high school near Pointe-à-Pitre.
Further details will be available in early January 2024.
AeroGATES is a company specialized in the realization of projects with an international dimension.

AeroGATES develops:
- education projects,
- training activities
- new concepts of transportation,
-
etc ...
