CAE Orlando operates as a specialized airline training facility, featuring Level D full flight simulators for key commercial aviation aircraft types. The center provides comprehensive training for the Airbus A320 family, one of the world's most popular narrow-body aircraft series used extensively by airlines for domestic and international short to medium-haul routes.
The facility also operates an Embraer E190 simulator, serving training needs for this larger regional jet that bridges the gap between traditional regional aircraft and narrow-body airliners. The E190's popularity among airlines for thin routes and secondary markets makes this simulator an important training asset.
Training programs encompass initial type rating courses, recurrent training, pilot proficiency checks, line-oriented flight training, upset prevention and recovery training, instructor certification courses, and differences training between aircraft variants. The Orlando location provides year-round favorable training conditions and convenient access for airline pilots, with the facility's connection to JetBlue Airways demonstrating its capability to serve major airline training requirements.
The nearest major airport is Orlando International Airport (MCO). Pilots travelling for training can fly into this airport for convenient access to the training facility.
