Canada's Air Richelieu Flying College Renews Its Confidence in Exail to Support Advanced FMS Training

Canada - Air Richelieu Flying College, a Canadian flight training organization, announces the renewal of its collaboration with Exail, a French technology company and flight simulator manufacturer, by continuing to rely on Exail’s Flight Management System (FMS) training software within its pilot training programs. 

As modern aircraft continue to evolve and avionics systems grow increasingly sophisticated, FMS proficiency has become a critical factor in flight safety, operational efficiency, and successful type transitions. To address these challenges, Air Richelieu Flying College maintains its commitment to high‑quality FMS instruction through the continued use of an interactive, realistic, and accessible software‑based training solution. 

A High‑Performance and Cost‑Effective Training Tool 

Air Richelieu’s FMS training is based on a software license provided by Exail, delivering a high‑fidelity simulation of Flight Management Systems across a wide range of aircraft types. This solution enables trainees to: 

• Discover, practice, and master all core FMS functions

• Understand the system philosophy, logic, and operational mechanisms

• Train autonomously through guided practice modules

• Operate the software on tablets or computers, in classroom settings or for remote learning 

Training Aligned with Pilot and Operator Requirements 

The FMS training program offered by Air Richelieu Flying College is designed for: 

• Pilots transitioning to glass‑cockpit aircraft,

• Operators looking for a flexible and cost‑efficient training solution. 

With an aeronautical navigation database compliant with industry standards and compatibility covering a broad range of aircraft families (Airbus, Boeing, and regional aircraft), the software enables training that is directly applicable to real‑world operations. 

A Shared Commitment to Training Excellence 

By renewing its confidence in Exail’s FMS training software, Air Richelieu Flying College reaffirms its focus on innovation and continuous improvement in pilot education. This long‑term collaboration reflects a shared vision between the Canadian training organization and the French technology provider: delivering modern, effective, and operationally relevant training solutions to the aviation community. 

“Renewing our collaboration with Air Richelieu underscores our shared vision for modern, accessible pilot education. We are proud to provide the advanced simulation tools that empower their students to master complex flight management systems with confidence,” says Audrey Jeffroy, Head of Sales – Aero Simulation at Exail.

"We are very proud to have renewed, for the fourth consecutive year, our agreement with EXAIL for the use of the FMS Training Software module. Thanks to the quality of its visuals and its ease of use, this training tool provides excellent support in preparing our students for the requirements of type rating and, more broadly, for the profession of airline pilot,” says Thierry Dugrippe, Head of Air Richelieu
