CAE SimuFlite Offers New Gulfstream Levelized Maintenance Training

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

CAE SimuFlite now offers a new levelized approach to its Gulfstream IV maintenance training program.

The new format, using ATA and NBAA guidelines, offers different levels of training programs depending on the experience of the technician. At the request of CAE SimuFlite clients, training classes have been shortened to a maximum of 10 days for initial training levels and five days for recurrent programs.

“We have made these changes as a direct result of the voice of the customer,” said Tom Stelter, vice president, specialized operations. “This shorter class format minimizes the amount of time technicians are away from their flight departments.”

The levelized training program was developed through the PACT training program. CAE SimuFlite and Gulfstream participate in this program in which representatives of both companies work together to jointly develop and deliver technical training programs for the Gulfstream IV.

The Professionally Applied Client Technical (PACT) training agreement ensures that clients’ training needs and expectations are met and the manufacturer's requirements and standards are satisfied.

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.
