Embraer-CAE Training Services (ECTS) has deployed a new
full-flight simulator (FFS) for the Phenom 300E.
The
new FFS will be operated by ECTS, a joint venture between Embraer
and CAE, at the new CAE Las Vegas Training Center near Henderson
International Airport.
In addition to the FFS in Nevada, there are
six Phenom-series simulators operating in Dallas, Texas (U.S.),
London Burgess Hill (UK) and Guarulhos (Brazil).
“We are very happy to see our partnership with
Embraer grow with the addition of a new Phenom series simulator to
our training network, and the first in Las Vegas, a strategic
location for both our customers and business,” said Nick Leontidis, CAE Group
President – Civil Aviation. “With Phenom FFS in four locations, we
are bringing our innovative methodologies and advanced simulation
technology closer to where our customers operate their aircraft.
With partners like Embraer, we are expanding our network and
increasing capacity to meet the growing demand for business jet
pilots.”
One of the world’s best-selling light jets, the
Phenom 300 is capable of reaching Mach 0.80 and
features an impressive collection of avionics, including Runway
Overrun Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS), Emergency Descent
Mode, coupled go-around, and more.
There are currently over 700 Phenom 300 aircraft in operation
around the world.
“Offering additional capacity for pilot training
is part of our strategy to provide the best services to the
market. This new Phenom series simulator is also a milestone in
our long-term relationship, and we are pleased to be part of the
new CAE Las Vegas Training Center,” said Johann Bordais, President
& CEO, Embraer Services & Support.
