CAE starts King Air 350 ProLine 21 training in Australia

CAE has inaugurated pilot
and maintenance technician training programmes in Melbourne, Australia
for the Hawker Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft with ProLine 21 avionics.

The programme features a new CAE 5000 Series full-flight simulator, which was
qualified to Level D standards by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety
Authority (CASA). In addition to business aircraft operators, the new King Air
350 simulator will be used for training military pilots. Located in the Ansett
Aviation Training facility, the CAE Melbourne location is part of CAE’s
expanding business aviation training network.

“Australia
has been strategically important to CAE for many years. We delivered our first
simulator to the country nearly 25 years ago and since then we have sold more
than 30 civil aviation and military simulators in the region. Today we provide
training services in Sydney and Melbourne and operate two ab initio flight schools,”
said Jeff Roberts, CAE’s group president, civil simulation products, training
and services. “Business aviation is an essential part of the transport
system in Australia,
and CAE is committed to offering its customers world-class training close to
home.”
