Embraer-CAE Training Services, a joint venture between Embraer and CAE, inaugurated Phenom aircraft pilot and maintenance technician training in Brazil yesterday at CAE’s training facility near Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo.

The new Phenom sim recently received qualification from Brazil’s Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil. CAE’s São Paulo training center, which was recently expanded to 10 simulator bays, currently offers training on eight simulators and trains about 6,000 pilots a year.
