Embraer and CAE officially unveiled its E-Jets E2 full flight simulator (FFS), the CAE 7000XR Series, at the Singapore-CAE Flight Training Center Monday. The first of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region, the machine won certification from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore last December.&nbsp;
The announcement comes after the two sides inked an agreement at the Asia Pacific Airline Training Symposium last August to include flight crew training for the Embraer E-Jet E2 family of commercial aircraft.
The 7000XR Series FFS includes the CAE Tropos 6000XR visual system. Pilots will also be trained using CAE’s competency-based training assessment (CBTA) courseware and interactive classroom instruction with the company's Simfinity virtual simulator (VSIM). &nbsp;The VSIM offers instructors and pilots alike the ability to simulate all aircraft system functions, Embraer said in a statement.
Singapore Airlines’ Scoot subsidiary has already begun training pilots for E190-E2's entry into service later this year.
“Embraer and CAE’s launch of the E-Jets E2 full flight simulator in Singapore is the first of its kind in Asia-Pacific, said Elaine Teo, senior vice president of the Global Enterprises Division of the Singapore Economic Development Board.&nbsp;"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.”
Speaking with AIN, Carlos Naufel, president and CEO of Embraer Services and Support, said the Brazilian manufacturer has committed to providing high-quality training to operators in Asia-Pacific. Embraer’s customers in the region include Australia, China, Japan, and Myanmar.&nbsp;
“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,” said Naufel. “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, CAE’s Civil Aviation Training division president.
