CAE's opening of a new training center at Crawley, UK, near London Gatwick Airport last week in a joint ceremony with EasyJet heralded the airline's move to "evidence-based" training from a prescriptive, regulation-based approach for its 4,000 pilots at 30 bases across Europe. CAE also recently opened new training centers in Manchester, UK, and Milan, Italy, the latter setting aside a section for EasyJet training as well. The three centers form part of a ten-year, $170 (CDN) million agreement signed in November 2018 with the UK low-cost carrier, which says the arrangement will allow it to make far better use of pilot recurrent training by identifying individual learning points from data of actual flights undertaken by the pilot.
