Restoration Chronology

	May 31st, 2022 After being used by the École nationale d'aérotechnique to power a Bombardier CL-601 Challenger and a Dornier 328, the "Mobile Electrical Power Plant" MMG-1A was stored outside for many years following an unresolved malfunction. It was scheduled to go to the scrapyard. TOP OF PAGE
	June 22nd, 2022 The MMG-1A is donated by the ÉNA to the QAM, which then prepared a STEM project with this GPU for the benefit of the "Avionics" student club of the School. The equipment is sheltered in the A22A hangar alongside the AFSG-1 GPU, also the subject of a STEM project. TOP OF PAGE
	September 14th, 2022 An initial exterior cleaning was carried out and, two days later, Bell Textron Canada became the project sponsor, thus making it possible to acquire the equipment required to put the MMG-1A back into operation. TOP OF PAGE
	September 2022 till November 2023 Not having any electrical diagram other than the wiring diagram present on the MMG-1A, a “reverse engineering” process is initiated. The manufacturer NAVAIR was contacted, but without success. As for the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola, Florida, no documentation is available on this side as well. However, museum officials wish to follow the evolution of the MAQ project. TOP OF PAGE
	November 1st, 2023 The internal cleaning of the MMG-1A began. Over the years, dust and grime inevitably built up inside the device. But this does not demotivate our students, quite the contrary! TOP OF PAGE
	November 1st, 2023 Two representatives from Bell Textron Canada's Product Support Engineering came to visit the students from the "Avionics" group carrying out the refurbishment of the MMG-1A. TOP OF PAGE
	February 7th, 2024 Students from the “Avionics” group were preparing to assemble a relay test box of their design. TOP OF PAGE
	February 7th, 2024 After dismantling the structural elements providing access to the AC-DC conversion circuits, we saw that they would require a little cleaning! TOP OF PAGE
	March 20th, 2024 Assembly of the AC relay test box continued. TOP OF PAGE PAGE
	March 20th, 2024 Simultaneously, two students began the thankless job of cleaning the DC section of MMG-1A. TOP OF PAGE
