Flight Training in Asia Continues Growth Trajectory.
Pilot training in Asia-Pacific and Indo-Asian countries is important not just to augment the ranks of nationals available to fly for a country’s own airlines and general aviation operators but also for their military forces.
Demand for simulators is growing, according to Nick Leontidis, CAE group president, Civil Aviation Training Solutions. The company has seen “a significant increase this fiscal year in full-flight simulator demand,” he said. First-half fiscal year 2022 sales reached 14 full-flight simulators. “While we remain off our FY20 capacity, we have resumed and increased output to respond to recent orders,” he told AIN.
Further CAE activity in military aircrew training in the Indo-Pacific region includes the Royal New Zealand Air Force’s recent acceptance of a CAE 700MR NH flight training device. CAE also supports the RNZAF SH-2 Seasprite helicopter and T-6C Texan II fixed-wing training programs. CAE simulators in Australia train crew on the Hawk Mk127 lead-in fighter, C-130J transport, KC-30A MRTT, MH-60R maritime helicopter, CH-47F medium-lift helicopter, and MRH-90 battlefield helicopter. Many of those programs include facilities management, courseware development, and in-flight training services. Hawk Mk127 pilots will also train using CAE’s biometric data and eye-tracking systems, in partnership with Seeing Machines. “Using data analytics, we hope to gain further insight into cognitive capacities and leverage this science of learning to optimize learning curriculum,” Sibree said.
