Training Airplanes

Piper Aircraft Inc. and CAE have announced the introduction of 35 Piper single-engine and twin-engine training airplanes to its CAE Oxford Aviation Academy fleet. The agreement includes firm orders for 22 single-engine Archer TX training airplanes and 13 twin-engine trainers, as well as parts and service. Deliveries will start this spring with 27 of the new aircraft going to CAE Oxford Aviation Academy in Phoenix, United States, and eight being sent later in the year to CAE Oxford Aviation Academy in Oxford, UK. The aircraft will also become the first ab initio aircraft in the world to be factory-equipped with CAE-designed flight date analysis and cockpit video recording systems.
