CAE Launches CORe, Advanced Aircrew Academy

CAE has introduced a new data-driven training approach for business aviation pilots called Continuously Optimized Recurrent (CORe) training. The program addresses a long-standing gap in pilot instruction: emerging operational threats not typically covered in traditional task-based training.

Using data gathered through CAE Rise, which aggregates anonymized pilot performance data from thousands of simulator sessions, CORe identifies trends and patterns to develop new learning scenarios. Additional data from OEMs, operators, and sources such as EASA’s Data4Safety program are also used to shape modules that reflect current and future risks.

Instead of repeating the same regulatory scenarios each year, pilots now face new, real-world scenarios that require nuanced judgment. Instructors guide pilots through these exercises, observing performance and helping refine responses to new or unseen threats.

According to CAE, the program represents an evolution beyond compliance, analyzing millions of data points to prepare pilots for unfamiliar situations. CORe training is adaptable across aircraft types and authorities, enhancing safety and efficiency throughout business aviation.

CAE has also partnered with Advanced Aircrew Academy to launch eLearning modules for business aviation, integrating online courseware into CAE’s global training ecosystem. The collaboration offers courses covering programs that meet FAA and ICAO standards for operators ranging from corporate flight departments to on-demand charter services.
