Falcon 900EX/2000EX FFS Will Soon Be Available For
Training
Emirates-CAE Flight Training (ECFT) is continuing to expand its
business aircraft training programs for pilots and maintenance
technicians with the addition of a CAE 7000 Series Level D
full-flight simulator in Dubai for the Dassault Falcon 900EX and
Falcon 2000EX models. The simulator will be ready for training in
the first quarter of 2011, the company announced Monday at
EBACE.
The addition of the Falcon 900EX/2000EX follows the regulatory
qualification in April of an FFS for the Bombardier Global Express
aircraft.
"CAE and our joint venture partners continue to address the
evolving pilot and technical training needs of corporate and
business aircraft operators around the world at high-quality
training centers that are convenient to our customers," said Jeff
Roberts, CAE Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training
and Services. "CAE's global network of training centers in five
regions enables business aviation professionals to train close to
home on the highest fidelity training equipment and with
best-in-class instructors."
CAE added seven new full-flight simulators in 2009 to its
business aviation training centers in Dubai, Burgess Hill UK
(London), Morristown, New Jersey (New York City), and Dallas,
Texas, and will add another six during 2010. These are part of
CAE's previously announced growth plans and include:
- Hawker 850 XPi, Global Express, and Falcon 900EX/2000EX at ECFT
in Dubai.
- Phenom 100 for Embraer CAE Training Services (ECTS) at the CAE
Training Centres in Burgess Hill and Dallas, as well as a Phenom
100/300 currently being installed in Dallas.
- Citation XLS, Citation II, and Learjet 40/40XR/45/45XR at
Burgess Hill.
- Global Express and a Falcon 50EX currently being installed at
CAE SimuFlite in Dallas.
- Gulfstream 200 and Citation Jet III at the North East Training
Center (NETC) in Morristown.
In addition, ECFT offers Bell 412 civil helicopter training in
Dubai, and two additional Bell 412 helicopter FFSs will be ready
for training this summer in Mexico and India. Sikorsky S-76
helicopter training is provided at NETC.
"As the aircraft manufacturers continue to advance the
capabilities and range of business jets and helicopters, training
must keep pace with the sophistication and configurations of the
cockpit," said Camille Mariamo, Managing Director, Emirates CAE
Flight Training. "Within the CAE business aviation network, more
than one-third of the simulators are new in the past four years,
driven by customer demand."
