Brunei air force uses CAE MPTC
The Royal Brunei Air Force has started using the new CAE Brunei Multi-Purpose Training Centre's (MPTC) PC-7 flight training device to screen and test pilots, the company announced on 19 June.
The air force expects the PC-7 simulator to speed up pilot selection and increase the pass rates of potential cadet pilots. The screening phase is the first in the process of becoming a pilot in the air force. The simulator will be used for officers who have passed their officer's courses.
The first class of possible cadet pilots with the PC-7 recently completed the pilot selection course at CAE Brunei MPTC.
Kevin Speed, general manager, CAE Brunei MPTC, said: 'Producing a military pilot is a long and expensive process, and previously the Royal Brunei Air Force conducted its screening process abroad and experienced a low passing rate.
'With the CAE Brunei MPTC located here in Brunei, we can offer the Royal Brunei Air Force tremendous flexibility in tailoring their training programmes, such as we have done for pilot selection and screening.'
