CAE is continuing its growing relationship with Elit'Avia, having signed an exclusive four year pilot training programme at EBACE earlier this week.

The customised training programme will feature classroom software, distance learning, a tablet application for course materials and pre-study tools. CAE will also extend its business aviation pilot training program to include the latest Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) module.

Training will continue to be conducted in five locations of CAE's global training network, including Burgess Hill in the UK (also Amsterdam, Dallas, Dubai, UAE and Morristown in New Jersey USA).

"Elit'Avia has experienced significant growth over the years. We recently added a new Gulfstream G650 to our fleet and CAE has been a tremendous training partner, supporting our growing needs and delivering high-quality training", said Puja Mahajan, CEO, Elit'Avia. "As our exclusive partner of choice, CAE is providing excellent customised training programmes for 14 of our different aircraft types, including models for Bombardier, Gulfstream, Dassault and Hawker. They have been providing an exceptional training experience and we are looking forward to the next four years".

"We are particularly pleased with the extension of this training program to include the UPRT, it is a testament to CAE's ability to provide its customers with global customised pilot training programmes and complementary training solutions tailored to their specific needs", said Nick Leontidis, CAE's Group President, Civil Aviation Training Solutions. "We're honoured to be selected as Elit'Avia's exclusive training partner and we look forward to support their growing training needs long into the future."
