CAE SimuFlite to add Citation X simulator to global training network

ORLANDO, October 6, 2003 --

(NYSE: CGT; TSX: CAE) - CAE SimuFlite will add a Citation X Level D-certified full-flight simulator to its facility in Dallas. The device, which will be ready for training during fall 2004, will also be the first Citation X simulator installed in CAE's global network of training centers.

It will be equipped with a CAE Tropos™ visual system, and the training program will include CAE Simfinity™ simulation-based ground school.

In addition to the new device, CAE SimuFlite offers training programs for the following Citation models: 500, 550, 560, 560XL, 650, Ultra, Bravo and the Citation Jet.

The Citation X is the latest in a long line of training programs that CAE SimuFlite has put in place in the past two years. This year alone, it has added Level-D simulators for Falcon 900EX, Falcon 2000, Hawker 800 and Sikorsky S76C+ training programs.

Three additional business-jet simulators will be installed in the next few months at Emirates CAE Flight Training in Dubai: Gulfstream IV, Gulfstream V and Hawker 800/XP.
