As part of its drive to produce the world’s first Dassault Falcon 7X training program, CAE (booth 1600) has created an advisory board. First meetings of the group – made up of representatives from the Montreal-headquartered company, Dassault and a number of operators - are due to take place in the USA and Europe early next year 2006.
Announced
Other recent milestones in CAE’s Falcon 7X program include completion of hardware for the first full-flight simulator, and ground-breaking at the new center in Morristown, New Jersey, where 7X training will be offered from the end of next year.
Morristown will initially house two full-flight simulators in addition to the already announced Falcon 7X and Falcon 900EX EASy and 2000EX EASy systems. CAE says the Sikorsky S-76 and Gulfstream IV units are to be moved there from Dallas, Texas to better meet market demand. Simulator installation will begin in mid-2006.
Morristown will open with six simulator bays, with potential for future expansion. CAE will then have a total of four business-aviation training centers around the world, the others being CAE SimuFlite in Dallas, Emirates-CAE Flight Training in Dubai, and Burgess Hill in the UK, future site for Falcon 7X training in Europe.
