Bombardier has expanded its Challenger 300
training capacity in Dallas, complementing the existing Challenger 350 aircraft
training program.
The new Challenger 300 simulator was certified
at Bombardier's Dallas Fort-Worth (DFW) Airport Texas facility by the FAA in May
2017 and is now ready for training.
With six Level D full-flight simulators, one
flight training device, 21 multimedia, interactive classrooms, and numerous part
task training devices, Bombardier's Dallas Training Centre can train up to 3,000
pilots and 280 maintenance technicians each year.
"As the aircraft manufacturer, no one knows
the aircraft better. Bombardier is committed to offering in-house OEM developed
courseware for flight and technical training, so our operators have the most up
to date, tailored knowledge and technology at their fingertips," said
Andy Nureddin,
Vice President of Customer Support and Training, Bombardier Business Aircraft.
"We not only design, build and maintain the aircraft, we fly them too, so
operators who train with us benefit from our real world expertise by learning
from one of 140 world-class instructors who fly or maintain the aircraft
themselves."
Bombardier Business Aircraft operates a total
of 11 aircraft simulators - six in Dallas, five in Montreal - across two
world-class training centres. As Bombardier's Authorized Training Provider (ATP)
for Challenger Series, CAE also delivers business aviation training for
Bombardier aircraft on 16 full-flight simulators located across CAE's global
network, including centres in Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Burgess Hill, United
Kingdom; Dallas, Texas, USA; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; and Morristown, NJ,
USA.
