Pilot Training Available On Multiple Business Aircraft
Types
CAE announced Monday at the NBAA annual convention it has
signed a five-year contract renewal with Flight Options for pilot
training services covering six fleet aircraft types - including the
Beechjet 400A, Cessna Citation X, Hawker Beechcraft 800XP and 800
XPi, and Embraer Legacy and Phenom 300. The contract has an
expected value of US$15 million.
"CAE's training technology innovation and flexibility are
essential to Flight Options' need to adapt to dynamic market
conditions," said Michael Silvestro, Chief Executive Officer of
Flight Options. "Flight Options pilots and maintenance technicians
have been training with CAE for several years, and the quality of
their simulation tools and instructional staff continues to set the
market standards."
The training will be conducted at CAE SimuFlite in Dallas, Texas
and the CAE North East Training Center in Morristown, New Jersey.
Embraer CAE Training Services (ECTS), a joint venture of Embraer
and CAE, will provide the Phenom 300 training in Dallas.
"Flight Options has a well-deserved reputation for excellent
customer service, and we are delighted that they appreciate the
high level of service they receive from the entire CAE team," said
Jeff Roberts, CAE Group President, Civil Simulation Products,
Training and Services. "Flight Options also has an unsurpassed
commitment to safety and operational efficiency, and we look
forward to helping them continue that commitment as their lead
training provider."
Flight Options has had an exclusive training agreement with CAE
for its pilots since 2004 and for its maintenance technicians since
2007.
