About This Training Center
CAE Minneapolis-St. Paul serves as a focused regional aviation training center, featuring Level D full flight simulators for two of the most popular regional jet aircraft in North American service. The facility operates simulators for the Bombardier CRJ-900, the largest variant in the CRJ family, widely used by regional airlines for medium-haul routes.
The center also provides comprehensive training for the Embraer E175, one of the most successful regional jets in recent years due to its passenger comfort, operational efficiency, and scope clause compliance for major airline regional partners. This aircraft combination represents the backbone of modern regional airline operations.
All training programs include initial type rating certification, recurrent training requirements, pilot proficiency checks, line-oriented flight training scenarios, upset prevention and recovery training, instructor development courses, and differences training.
