Embraer and CAE have inaugurated the first Embraer E-Jets E2 full-flight simulator (FFS) in Singapore, part of the latest Embraer CAE Training Services (ECTS) joint venture. The FFS is located at the Singapore-CAE Flight Training Centre near Changi Airport.
The E2 training programme will feature CAE’s competency-based training assessment (CBTA) courseware, interactive classroom instruction with the CAE Simfinity virtual simulator (VSIM) and practical training in a new CAE 7000XR Series FFS.
“We celebrate the successful operations of the E2 simulator and comprehensive pilot training programme and thank all our partners and employees who have been involved in this process,” said Carlos Naufel, President and CEO of Embraer Services and Support. “This is part of Embraer’s commitment to grow our infrastructure in Asia-Pacific and to contribute to the region’s aviation growth story. Along with CAE, we remain committed to providing high-quality training to our customers and their pilots.”
“The start of training and the official inauguration of the first state-of-the-art E2 full-flight simulator in the Asia-Pacific region is a significant milestone in the growth and success of Embraer-CAE Flight Training,” added Michel Azar-Hmouda, Division President, CAE Aviation Training. “Technology is at the core of the new E2 programme, with CAE’s VSIM, CBTA courseware and latest-generation FFS preparing pilots for the entry into service and safe operation of the E2 in the APAC region.”
