Global Pilot Training Solution Provider CAE’s President and CEO Discusses Global Aviation Safety Innovation at Bloomberg Finance Conference

At the recent Bloomberg Canadian Finance Conference 2024, Marc Parent, President & CEO of CAE, shared insights on the company’s commitment to innovation in global aviation safety. In a discussion with Bloomberg’s Derek DeCloet, Parent highlighted CAE’s pivotal role in pilot training and simulator technology, emphasizing that the company operates as a unified entity dedicated to training pilots across both civil aviation and defense sectors.

Parent outlined that CAE is a leader in the aviation training industry, holding the top position globally in simulator sales. With approximately 60% of its revenue generated from civil aviation and 40% from defense, CAE is strategically positioned to meet the growing demand for qualified pilots.

Despite current supply chain challenges in the aviation industry, Parent expressed optimism about future growth, driven by an expected increase in the number of commercial aircraft. Boeing predicts the global fleet of civil airliners will double over the next 20 years, which translates to a need for approximately 284,000 new pilots in the next decade to meet retirements and demand. Notably, half of these prospective pilots have yet to begin their training.

As global travel demand continues to surge, particularly in emerging markets like India and China, CAE is poised to expand its training facilities and services. Parent highlighted the necessity of local training centers, ensuring accessibility for airlines and their pilots worldwide.

Pilot Training Industry Supplier Feature – Oscar Yankee

In this week’s AFM Pilot Training Leadership Interview Series AFM’s Customer Success & Business Development Manager Agata Marszalek speaks with Jens Rahbek – the Customer Success Manager at Oscar Yankee. Oscar Yankee is a Danish FMS Provider that brings modern usable software to the General Aviation industry and flight training organisations so that pilots and aviation professionals can focus on what they love the most – flying.

The conversation covers:

  • Background & Growth: Oscar Yankee was founded in 2017 to provide simple booking and management software for flying clubs, now offering a full-fledged pilot training management platform. Oscar Yankee has steadily grown and it now includes tools for managing flight training programs, handling complex compliance requirements, and integrating additional products like TrueTrack for tracking real-time flight data.
  • Recent Developments: Over recent months, Oscar Yankee has accelerated its growth by engaging a dedicated team of developers to enhance its web application and continuously improve the product based on client feedback. Oscar Yankee has been focusing on core features, particularly for compliance with European regulations, helping flight schools manage their training, flight time limitations, and safety requirements.
  • Industry Trends: According to Jens, digitalization and the integration of AI are key trends in pilot training. Pilot training organizations, which have historically relied on paper-based processes, are now adopting digital solutions to streamline training and operations. Digital tools offer better integration, data management, and compliance tracking, enabling flight schools to reduce administrative burdens and focus more on the quality of training. Oscar Yankee is continuously working on simplifying processes, such as maintenance scheduling and compliance, by leveraging the latest technologies.
  • Challenges in Flight Training: Compliance is a major challenge for flight schools. Regulations, especially in Europe, are strict and require detailed documentation to ensure schools adhere to safety standards. Oscar Yankee’s software helps automate the compliance process, ensuring that all required documentation, training logs, and safety reports are digitally stored and easily accessible. Instructors no longer have to chase down signatures or ensure grading and comments are completed on time. Oscar Yankee’s software helps flight schools focus on training rather than administration.
  • Major Benefits: Oscar Yankee stands out as a top choice for flight schools due to its user-friendly, compliance-focused software designed to meet European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations. It offers an affordable, scalable solution that automates administrative tasks, enhances safety management, and provides real-time flight data through its integrated TrueTrack system. With customizable features and a straightforward interface, Oscar Yankee allows schools to streamline operations while maintaining high safety standards.
