Embraer and CAE inaugurate the CAE 7000XR Series simulator as part of a comprehensive CBTA pilot training program at the Singapore-CAE Flight Training Centre near Changi Airport.
Embraer and CAE, leaders in the aviation industry, have joined forces to establish a significant milestone in Asia-Pacific aviation for the first E-Jets E2 full flight simulator (FFS) in Singapore, marking a new chapter in pilot training and regional growth. The state-of-the-art training facility, situated near Changi Airport, will serve E2 operators across the region, equipping pilots with the necessary skills and experience to ensure safe and efficient operation of the advanced E-Jets E2 aircraft.
Elaine Teo, Senior Vice President, Global Enterprises Division, Singapore Economic Development Board said, “Embraer and CAE’s launch of the E-Jets E2 full-flight simulator in Singapore is the first of its kind in Asia Pacific. Not only does it add to the suite of aftermarket services in Singapore, it is a valuable addition to the region’s aerospace and aviation ecosystem. We look forward to collaborating with industry partners to build capabilities that fuel the growth in APAC and enhance the skills of aerospace and aviation talent in the region, from Singapore.”
The comprehensive training program offered by the E2 FFS goes beyond traditional methods. It incorporates CAE’s innovative Competency-Based Training Assessment (CBTA) courseware, interactive classroom instruction utilizing the CAE Simfinity virtual simulator (VSIM), and immersive practical training in the new CAE 7000XR Series FFS.
Michel Azar-Hmouda, CAE’s Division President, Civil Aviation Training, said. “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. Technology is at the core of the new E2 program, 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.”
This combined approach ensures pilots receive a well-rounded education, encompassing theoretical knowledge, practical application, and familiarization with real-world scenarios.
Carlos Naufel, President & CEO of Embraer Services & Support said, “We celebrate the successful operations of the E2 simulator and comprehensive pilot training program and thank all our partners and employees who have been involved in this process. 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.”
