This tradition continues Embraer 15 Colombia 29 UK 37 with CAE Rise, a system that leverages big data analytics to make training more efficient and Enstrom 16 Croatia 29 Uruguay 38 effective. Eurocopter (see Airbus Helicopters)** Czech Republic 29 USA 38 Eurofighter 16 Denmark 29 CAE Rise provides the ability to deliver standardized training and objectively assess pilot Fairchild Republic 16 Ecuador 29 General Atomics 16 Egypt 29 competencies using live data during training sessions. CAE Rise fosters student-centric learning, Hawker Beechcraft 16 Finland 30 reduces subjectivity in pilot assessment, and helps instructors focus on teaching and instructing. Hindustan Aeronautics 16 France 30 CAE Rise is an integral part of the CAE TRAX Academy, a self-paced training continuum that guides Ilyushin 16 Germany 30 student pilots as they learn how to fly. The CAE TRAX Academy uses CAE Rise to deliver status and Israel Aerospace Industries 16 Greece 31 progress reports while providing the data analytics and predictive analysis necessary for continuous Kaman 17 Hungary 31 improvement and closed-loop training. Kamov 17 India 31 Kawasaki Heavy Industries 17 Indonesia 31 As a globally recognized training systems integrator, we are proud to support the preparation and Korea Aerospace Industries 17 Iran 31 training of military pilots around the world.
