CAE Adds 777X Simulator at Singapore Training Center

CAE is adding a 7000XR full-flight simulator for Boeing’s 777X airliner at its training center in Singapore, the Canada-based group announced on Thursday. The equipment is now being installed and will be available for use from next fall, pending approval from Singapore’s aviation regulator.

The 7000XR simulator features CAE’s latest 3D visual system, which leverages the company’s Prodigy image generator derived from video gaming technology. According to CAE, this delivers photorealistic renderings under all weather conditions with enhanced moving models that create a more immersive training environment.

CAE said it will be the first company to provide 777X flight training in the Asia-Pacific region. It opened the center in Singapore to allow airlines to train pilots closer to their operating bases.

“The 777X is the latest widebody aircraft developed in the market and is central to many airlines’ long-haul strategies, particularly in Asia and the Middle East,” said CAE civil aviation president Alexandre Prévost. “With this simulator in Singapore, we are providing the training infrastructure where it is needed most, at the crossroads of Asia-Pacific aviation. In addition, the 777X gives the Singapore-CAE flight training center one of the most comprehensive Boeing training portfolios in the region.”
