Somewhat echoing comments made over on Cockpit Conversation CAE (a world leader in simulation and modeling) has announced the addition of three flight training organizations to their Global Academy. One facility is located in the U.S. (SAA Flight Training, based in San Diego), the other two are located in Moncton and Brussels.
The stats quoted in the CNW Group article are amazing, but of greater interest to me is that a heavy metal simulator giant is gathering a network of ab-initio, and advanced training organizations around the world. Could this radically change how most commercial pilots are trained in the future? If so, what impact will that have on personal and recreational flight training? Coupled with the changes that we have seen with the evolution of NAV Canada, those proposed for the FAA, the fluid situation in Australia, security concerns and VLJs; we could see more significant changes is aviation in the next 20 years than in the last 40.
