DALLAS — Boeing has announced an agreement with CAE to see the latter become the US manufacturer's Authorised Training Provider. The announcement, revealed today on the first day of the Paris Air Show, will see CAE become the first to provide Boeing's Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) curriculum. India will become the first location to offer the new training process with CAE, "with expansion anticipated into additional global markets."

According to the official statement released by Boeing, the partnership will 'expand access to high quality, innovative flight training to commercial aviation customers worldwide.'

CBTA training methods see the focus on pilot training shift to "developing and evaluating skills, knowledge, and behaviors essential for pilots to operate safely and efficiently in a commercial air transport environment."

Boeing is rolling out the CBTA curriculum at its global training campuses in Seattle, Miami, London Gatwick, Shanghai, and Singapore.
