CAE SimuFlite's technical training granted EASA approval

Montreal, November 15, 2004 --

(NYSE: CGT; TSX: CAE) - Following a recommendation from French civil aviation authority DGAC, CAE SimuFlite's technical training has been granted Part 147 approval by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). All aspects of the program, including the CAE SimuFlite facility in Dallas, the training process and the curriculum, have been approved.

Although the Gulfstream V, Gulfstream IV and Falcon 2000 maintenance training programs were the first to achieve EASA Part 147 B1 approval, other maintenance programs offered by CAE SimuFlite are expected to follow suit shortly. CAE SimuFlite currently offers maintenance training programs for more than 25 different aircraft types.

"This is an important milestone for CAE SimuFlite. EASA approval means that we are better able to support our European customer base," said Tom Stelter, general manager, CAE SimuFlite.

CAE is a leading provider of simulation and modeling technologies and integrated training services for commercial and business aviation, and defence customers worldwide. The company has annual revenues of approximately C$1 billion, with operations and training facilities in 17 countries on five continents.
