HeiTech Padu Berhad was awarded the Approved Maintenance Organisation (AMO) by DGTA on 21st September 2023 at the HeiTech Padu office, Subang Jaya. The award of AMO certification by DGTA is for Su-30MKM Tactical Operational Flight Trainer (TOFT), a full flight simulator system of Sukhoi 30-MKM, which is currently operated and maintained by HeiTech Padu Berhad.

The AMO certificate submission was successfully officiated by the Director General of DGTA, Brigadier General Ir. Nordin bin Abdul Ghani RMAF, to Puan Salmi Nadia binti Mohd Hilmey, Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of HeiTech Padu Berhad, during the event.

Following the procurement of Su-30MKM jets in August 2003, the government of Malaysia sought to provide RMAF with a flight simulator to ensure cost-effective training for both Su-30MKM pilots and WSOs.

Since 2010, HeiTech Padu has been the organization that operated and maintains the Su-30 MKM TOFT system and its ancillaries, the associated Computer Based Training (CBT) system and the Su-30MKM simulator building and facilities located at Pangkalan Udara Gong Kedak, Jerteh.

As of today, more than sixty (60) RMAF officers, including pilots, Weapon System Officers (WSO) and ground crews, have been successfully trained.
