CAE’s new business aviation training center in Morristown,
New Jersey, will initially house two full-flight simulators in
addition to the Falcon 7X and the Falcon 900 EX/EASy and 2000
EX/EASy simulators already announced. The CAE-built Sikorsky S-76
helicopter simulator and Gulfstream IV full-flight simulator will
be moved to Morristown from their current location in Dallas,
Texas, in order to better meet market demand.
The Morristown center, the future site of the world’s
first training program for the Dassault Falcon 7X business jet as
well as Falcon 900 EX/EASy and 2000 EX/EASy training, is currently
under construction following ground-breaking at the site earlier
this fall. The installation of the full-flight simulators will
begin during summer 2006, and the center is expected to be
operational for training later that year. It will initially feature
a total of six simulator bays, with the potential for future
expansion.
“CAE’s global training
network allows us to bring our training programs and customers
closer together. There is a high concentration of business aircraft
operators in the Northeastern U.S. region, so it made sense for CAE
to locate its new business aviation training center there,“
said Jeff Roberts, CAE’s Group President, Civil Training and
Services.
Once the center has been completed, CAE will operate a total of
four major business aviation training centers strategically located
around the world: CAE SimuFlite in Dallas; this new Morristown, NJ
center; Emirates-CAE Flight Training in Dubai, which CAE operates
in conjunction with Emirates Airlines; and CAE’s centre in
Burgess Hill, U.K., the future site for Falcon 7X training in
Europe.
The Morristown center will bring to more than 60 the total
number of full-flight simulators serving business aircraft
operators within CAE’s global network of 100+ full-flight
simulators, including Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) and Airbus
Corporate Jetliner (ACJ) simulators.
