CAE will install a Pilatus PC-24 full-flight simulator at its training center in Lake Nona, Florida, complementing the PC-24 simulator that will be added to CAE Vienna in Austria. According to the company, both simulators will be up and running in the first half of 2026.
“With this investment in the PC-24 platform, we’re expanding our global footprint to deliver advanced training on cutting-edge simulators in the United States and Europe,” CAE said.
In the second half of this year, the company also plans to deploy a flight training device for the PC-12 Pro. The turboprop single, announced in March, is the first aircraft to be equipped and certified with Garmin’s G3000 Prime avionics suite.
Located near Orlando International Airport, the Simcom training center in Lake Nona opened in late 2023 with five of CAE’s full-motion simulators. CAE owns a majority share of Simcom, which operates two additional training centers in Orlando and one in Scottsdale, Arizona.
CAE’s business aviation training center in Vienna already offers a Gulfstream G550 full-flight simulator. This year, the facility expects to add full-flight simulators for the Bombardier Global 7500, Embraer Phenom 100/300, and Bombardier Challenger 3500.
