CAE Inc. and Nav Canada partner to establish a new air traffic control training center in Montreal, aiming to address a critical shortage in the industry. The center will utilize state-of-the-art simulators and courseware to train the next generation of air traffic controllers.
Montreal is playing host to a new training center for air traffic controllers, aiming to address a critical shortage in the industry. CAE Inc., the world's largest flight simulator manufacturer, has partnered with Nav Canada , the country's civil air navigation operator, to establish this facility. The center is designed to simulate real-world scenarios, like the dramatic fiery crash of an airplane during a training exercise witnessed by instructors.
The trainees, the first cohort of students at the Montreal center, find themselves navigating complex situations, responding to emergencies, and managing aircraft movement in a safe, controlled environment. \This initiative comes at a time when air traffic control faces significant challenges. A severe labor shortage, exacerbated by an aging workforce and a lengthy training process of 10 to 27 months, has led to concerns about employee stress and passenger safety. The increasing volume of air travel further compounds the issue, putting pressure on an already strained system. CAE's goal is to address this crisis by rapidly increasing the number of graduates, aiming to train 478 air traffic students by 2028. \The new training center leverages CAE's expertise in flight simulation technology and Nav Canada's extensive knowledge of air traffic control operations. Trainees will benefit from immersive training experiences, utilizing state-of-the-art simulators and courseware developed by Nav Canada. This collaboration aims to equip the next generation of air traffic controllers with the necessary skills and knowledge to manage the complexities of modern air travel safely and efficiently. As the aviation industry anticipates a surge in passenger demand, the timely expansion of training capacity holds immense significance for ensuring the smooth and secure operation of air travel in Canada and beyond
