28 September, 2018: CAE has expanded its pilot training capacity in Japan with the inauguration of its first Airbus A320 full-flight simulator (FFS) deployed at JAL - CAE Flight Training (JCFT), the joint venture between CAE and Japan Airlines. The CAE-built Airbus A320FFS will support the pilot training needs of Japanese airlines and other airline customers across the region. The ceremony was held at the training centre located at Haneda Airport and was attended by Japan Airlines, AirAsia Japan, Jetstar Japan and CAE executives.
Last June, CAE announced the deployment of the simulator to support the pilot training needs of Jetstar Japan. The simulator includes CAE’s most recent innovation, the CAE Rise training system, allowing instructors to deliver standardised training in accordance with the airline’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).
With this training equipment addition, CAE Tokyo-JCFT will provide Boeing 737NG, 767, 777, 787 and Airbus A320 pilot training, bringing the total number of FFSs available at the centre to 9.
