CAE’s inaugural business aviation training centre in Central Europe is now officially open. Complementing the global aviation training provider’s network of facilities, CAE Vienna offers various phases of classroom and simulator training for pilots and maintenance technicians. &nbsp;
Although CAE Vienna has been quietly operational since April, its strategic location adds “critical training capacity in the region and [makes] a broad portfolio of training more programs more accessible than ever,” highlighted Alexandre Prévost, CAE’s Division President, Business Aviation.
The 86,000 square foot centre currently boasts training opportunities on four aircraft types, including the Gulfstream G550, Bombardier Global 7500 and the Bombardier Global 6000. An Embraer Phenom 100/300 full-flight simulator is also available as part of the Embraer CAE Training Servies (ECTS) joint venture operation. Maintenance technician programmes, meanwhile, include type training, engine run, taxi courses and avionics elements.
CAE forecasts that the European business aviation industry will require some 7,000 new pilots and 9,000 maintenance technicians over the next decade. Prévost believes CAE Vienna is “ideally equipped and perfectly located to help meet that demand,” offering capacity to train “thousands” of aviation professionals annually. Looking to the future, a fifth simulator (the Bombardier Challenger 3500) will come online in October, while a Pilatus PC-24 is also set to be deployed in the second half of next year. 
The training provider added that increased adoption of digital “smart technologies” will help make training “more personalised, seamless and efficient,” simplifying processes such as making bookings or accessing training records. &nbsp;
