The new pilot training program will be launched by Embraer-CAE Training Services, with plans to deploy an E-Jet E2 full-flight simulator at the Singapore-CAE Flight Training Centre.
Embraer and CAE have announced an expansion of their long-standing joint venture to include pilot and cabin crew training for the Embraer E-Jet E2 family of commercial aircraft. The expansion was announced at the 2023 Asia Pacific Airline Training Symposium (APATS). The new pilot training program will be launched by Embraer-CAE Training Services (ECTS), with plans to deploy a state-of-the-art E-Jet E2 full-flight simulator (FFS) at the Singapore-CAE Flight Training Centre. Training is scheduled to commence in December 2023. The E2 pilot and cabin crew training programs will be gradually expanded to strategic locations within CAE’s global network to support aircraft deliveries.
Johann Bordais, President and CEO, Embraer Services & Support said, “We are delighted to build on our offering and introduce the E2 pilot training program to support the growing number of APAC operators embracing the latest generation of platforms. We are more than ever committed to providing high-quality training programs available in locations close to our E-Jets E2s’ operators.”
Singapore was selected as the initial location due to the growing E-Jets E2 fleet in the Asia Pacific region. This establishment of the full flight simulator and pilot training program strengthens Embraer’s offering in the APAC region.
The training solutions provided by ECTS form a core part of the Embraer Services & Support platform, which assembles a comprehensive portfolio of products and solutions to deliver exceptional services and support experiences. The E2 training program will feature CAE 7000XR Series full-flight simulators (FFSs), including the innovative CAE Tropos 6000XR visual system, as well as CAE XR Series’ flight training devices (FTDs).
Michel Azar-Hmouda, Vice President of Commercial Aviation Training, CAE said, “Adding the E-Jets E2 platform to our existing joint venture is a natural next step in the partnership CAE and Embraer have built over the last 16 years. Launching the new program in Singapore brings E2 training closer to our APAC customers and ensures their pilots are ready to take flight as E2 jets join their fleets.”
