Embraer and CAE are expanding their full-flight simulator network with the deployment of a state-of-the-art E2 full-flight simulator (FFS) at the CAE Madrid training centre, located close to the Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport.
The new E2 simulator will be operated by Embraer CAE Training Services (ECTS) and will be their first simulator to support the growing E2 family fleet in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region.
"The advanced training offered in Madrid, featuring CAE’s competency-based training assessment (CBTA) courseware and CAE Simfinity virtual simulator, will enhance classroom training," said Michel Azar-Hmouda, CAE’s Division President, Commercial Aviation. "This, combined with the latest generation simulator, ensures our E2-trained pilots have the skills and confidence for safe operation of the E2 aircraft."
“This is a significant milestone for our partnership with CAE that will support the growing E2 fleet in EMEA. At CAE Madrid, our customers will benefit from world-class training and state-of-the-art technology - closer to home. Embraer is very pleased with this deployment, and we will keep working every day to be wherever our customers need us to be,” said Carlos Naufel, President and CEO, Embraer Services & Support.
This is the second E2 simulator to be deployed in the ECTS network, joining the E2 FFS in operation at the CAE Singapore training centre. ECTS operates nine Phenom-family full-flight simulators at CAE business aviation training centres in Dallas, Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada; Burgess Hill, United Kingdom; São Paulo, Brazil; and Vienna, Austria, where training begins this summer.
