CAE signed a new five-year training agreement for AirAsia’s A320 pilots in the Philippines. The agreement extends the use of the CAE Rise training system to a third AirAsia affiliate. As part of this agreement, CAE will continue to provide initial training for the airline’s pilots and will soon undertake recurrent training at CAE Clark – Philippine Academy for Aviation Training (PAAT) in the Philippines, starting in July of this year.
“AirAsia has embarked on a mission to digitise every aspect of their business and by implementing the CAE Rise training system they are better able to train and develop their pilots using real-time insights alongside a new level of training data analytics,” said Nick Leontidis, CAE’s group president, Civil Aviation Training Solutions.
The CAE Rise training system was launched in 2018 and, explains CAE, provides instructors with the capability to provide objective assessments of pilot maneuvers in real-time and can equip training managers with a new level of insights into the performance of their entire pilot pool. The company explains Rise augments instructors’ capability to identify pilot proficiency gaps and evolve training programs to advanced aviation safety standards including AQP, ATQP and EBT methodologies.
