CAE SimuFlite Now Flagship of Global Training Platform Offering Unparalleled Quality, Service and Technology

DALLAS/FT. WORTH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, Texas, September 10, 2002 --

CAE SimuFlite has become the flagship of a global platform for aviation training, offering advanced training solutions and technologies, and featuring unparalleled quality and service.

Less than a year since the completion of CAE’s acquisition of SimuFlite last January, the combined expertise, resources and business opportunities have been leveraged to create the world’s second largest independent aviation training organization.

CAE SimuFlite’s recently-expanded Dallas Center is the flagship of CAE’s global training network that has grown to 16 locations around the globe, with a total of 68 full flight simulators in operation. The training center, located at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, is the world’s largest business aviation training center.

The modern 411,000 square foot facility houses 36 simulator bays, classrooms, dining room, library and client lounge. In nearby Grapevine, TX, CAE SimuFlite Grapevine Center is an additional 30,000 square foot training facility with 6 bays. Business aviation training is also available at CAE’s Dubai facility, which offers programs for Boeing Business Jet, Airbus A320CJ and available in 2003, Gulfstream IV and Gulfstream V simulators.

At CAE SimuFlite, and throughout CAE’s training network, the quality of experienced instructors offers consistent, standardized training delivery using state-of-the-art training devices and ground school tools.

In addition to its global aviation training programs and renowned full flight simulators, CAE develops a broad range of complementary integrated training solutions, including flight training devices, visual systems, PC and Internet-based elearning – and the revolutionary new SimfinityTM training system, now being deployed by CAE SimuFlite as part of its Boeing Business Jet Program. Simfinity™ is an interactive simulation tool that leverages software to give a practical application in an instructor-lead ground school or avionics lab setting.

“With this new portfolio and a global platform of nine facilities outside North America now available to its customers, CAE SimuFlite is more responsive and geographically closer to the customer,” said Gary Scott, group president, CAE Civil Simulation & Training.

As CAE pursues its global expansion, CAE SimuFlite will continue to develop a wide variety of simulator based training programs as well as enhancing the training experience through advanced solutions, quality, and service. CAE SimuFlite’s Six Sigma method will continue to be a focal point for product design and improvements that are driven by customer needs.

First class, concierge-level service, rapid response through a single point of contact, and the anticipation of a client’s needs all reflect CAE SimuFlite’s commitment to service.

CAE SimuFlite, a part of CAE’s Civil Simulation and Training Division, provides advanced training to pilots and maintenance professionals operating piston and turbine-powered aircraft in private, corporate, military and government service.

CAE is a global leader in providing advanced simulation and controls equipment and integrated training solutions for customers in the civil aviation, military and marine markets. With annual revenues in excess of C$1 billion, CAE employs more than 6,000 people in Canada, the United States and around the globe.
