Embraer and CAE officially inaugurated today the first full flight simulator for E-Jets E2 aircraft in the Asia-Pacific region. The training developed for Embraer commercial jets is part of the newest program offered in Singapore by the recently expanded Embraer-CAE Training Services (ECTS) t venture.
The E2 training program will feature competency-based training assessment courseware (CAE's CBTA), interactive classroom instruction using the CAE Simfinity virtual simulator (VSIM), and immersive hands-on training on a new state-of-the-art simulator. series generation CAE 7000XR. The equipment is located at the CAE Flight Training Center in Singapore, close to Changi Airport, and will E2 operators in the region.
Pilots from Scoot, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, have already begun training as part of preparation for the start of operations with the E190-E2 this year. They will be evaluated in all aspects and in different flight scenarios, using the latest generation simulator, with the aim of improving skills and preparation before the commercial operation of the jets begins.
“We are very pleased with the success of operations with the E2 simulator and the extensive pilot training program. We thank all our partners and collaborators who were involved in this process”, said Carlos Naufel, President and CEO of Embraer Serviços & Apoio. “This project is part of Embraer’s commitment to expand its infrastructure in Asia-Pacific and contribute to the growth trajectory of aviation in the region.

“The launch of the E-Jets E2 full flight simulator by Embraer and CAE in Singapore is a milestone for the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to generating after-sales service offerings, it is also a valuable addition to the region's aeronautical and aerospace ecosystem. We look forward to collaborating with industry partners to build Singapore-based capabilities that drive growth and upskill new talent for the sector.”, said Elaine Teo, Vice-President of the Global Enterprises Division of the Singapore Economic Development Board.
The simulator was certified by the Singapore Civil Aviation Authority in December 2023.
In addition to the E2 flight simulator, there are classroom sessions that include interactive on-screen training touch screen to accelerate learning. VSIM, a tool for familiarizing pilots with all aircraft systems, presents a significant improvement in relation to the typical preparation of professionals. Thus, it can be used by an instructor to simulate all types of system functions, both in the classroom and in briefings. Furthermore, the tool can be used by pilots for individualized training.
ECTS training solutions are one of the highlights of the Embraer Services & platform, which brings together a complete portfolio of products and solutions, enhancing the after-sales experience and improving for customers.
