New Jersey Facility To Include Full-Flight Simulator
CAE announced this week at NBAA 2008 that XOJET has chosen
CAE's business aviation training facility in Morristown, NJ for the
initial training of its new fleet of Bombardier Challenger 300
aircraft.
XOJET placed a record order last year for up to 80 Bombardier
Challenger 300 jets, including options.
As ANN reported, the company's first
Challenger 300 aircraft has just entered into service.
A new Challenger 300 full-flight simulator is scheduled to enter
into service at the center later this year to support the training
as well as CAE's Authorized Training Provider (ATP) agreement with
Bombardier.
"We chose CAE because it is facilitating our growth and
providing us with flexible, customized training solutions, allowing
us to ensure our high level of safety is maintained as we bring our
new aircraft into our operation," said David Cox, XOJET's
Vice-President, Operations. "CAE has integrated itself into our
training culture, ensuring the highest quality of pilot training,
and its employees have been going out of their way to accommodate
us. We appreciate the quality of the facilities, the technology,
and the instructors."
"We've enjoyed working with XOJET's excellent pilots and we are
happy to partner once again with them as they grow their business,"
said Jeff Roberts, CAE's Group President, Innovation and Civil
Training & Services. "We are committed to continually listen to
the needs of our clients and to provide them with tailored
solutions."
CAE has provided recurrent training for XOJET's Citation X
pilots at its CAE SimuFlite facility in Dallas, TX for the past two
years.
