CAE’s first full-flight simulator for the Dassault Falcon 6X will be online at its Burgess Hill training center in the UK in the fourth quarter, it said this week at EBACE 2022. As the exclusive training provider for the 6X, CAE (Booth P93) has developed an immersive pilot training program to support the aircraft type’s service entry in the first half of next year. A Falcon 8X full-flight simulator will also be ready for training at CAE Burgess Hill by year-end.
“The Falcon 6X training program is a significant step forward in terms of technology and training experience,” said CAE group president for civil aviation Nick Leontidis. “Pilots will be able to fully immerse themselves in their training with expert instructors, digitally-interactive classrooms, and advanced full-flight simulators. CAE’s Falcon 6X training program will give pilots the knowledge and skills they need to confidently fly this new aircraft when it enters service.”
This news comes on the heels of an announcement earlier this month that CAE will soon break ground on a new business aviation training center near Gulfstream Aerospace’s headquarters in Savannah, Georgia. Slated to open in mid-2023, the facility will become CAE’s fifth training center dedicated to business aviation in the U.S.
