[edit] Simulator Products
CAE has sold nearly 700 simulators and training devices to airlines, aircraft manufacturers, training centres and defence forces for air and ground purposes in more than 40 countries. It licenses its simulation software to various market segments and has a professional services division assisting customers with a wide range of simulation-based needs.
[edit] Pilot Training
CAE conducts pilot training on over 100 full flight simulators in its more than 20 aviation training centres, serving approximately 3,500 airlines, aircraft operators and manufacturers across the globe. In the US, CAE is a major supplier of initial and recurrency training for non-airline based companies, including charter and cargo operators who are usually too small to offer in-house training. CAE recently acquired Simuflite training centers in Dallas, TX and Morristown, NJ which are now called CAE SimuFlite. The Dallas facility, located at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, is the largest business aviation training facility in the world at 426,000-sq.ft. with 34 simulators and approximately 450 employees.
