Meeting Manufacturer's New Training Requirements

Dassault Falcon has completed the approval process to certify CAE SimuFlite's Falcon 2000 maintenance program. CAE SimuFlite is the first training partner to meet Dassault's expanded instructor and training program requirements for the Falcon 2000.

"This certification represents a serious commitment on the part of CAE SimuFlite and its instructors to meet Dassault's thorough technical training requirements," said Gerry Goguen, Senior Vice President of Customer Service for Dassault Falcon. "CAE SimuFlite and its instructors have worked very hard to meet the high standards Dassault has set for this training program."

To be certified, CAE SimuFlite had to meet the stringent requirements set forth in the Dassault Falcon Training Policy Manual (FTPM). Under FTPM, Dassault defines the objectives necessary to meet training requirements to operate and support Falcon aircraft. Dassault works in conjunction with the training providers who will be regularly evaluated and audited for compliance.

"With this new program, which adheres strictly to Dassault's Falcon training policy manual, operators are assured that their technical crews have the knowledge needed to fully understand and safely maintain their aircraft," said Tom Stelter, CAE SimuFlite's vice president and general manager. "Our mutual customers will enjoy a great benefit from this enhanced level of training for both maintenance technicians and pilots."

This initial effort by CAE SimuFlite under the FTPM process focuses on Dassault's Falcon 2000 aircraft. CAE SimuFlite intends to expand the FTPM process to other Falcon aircraft this year.
