The Q400 aircraft FFS will be qualified to Level D standards and will be ready for training in the fall of 2015 in CAE’s Toronto training centre. The centre offers training on six CAE-owned and operated full-flight simulators, including a Bombardier Dash 8/Q-Series 100/300, a Bombardier Q400, a Bombardier CRJ200/700/900 with a Next Generation avionics system, a Dornier 328 turboprop, and a Boeing B737-800 NG.
