CAE, a provider of civil aviation training solutions, has announced at the Singapore Airshow 2026 that Embraer-CAE Training Services (ECTS), a joint venture between Embraer and CAE, has purchased its first FFS dedicated to training pilots for Eve Air Mobility. The simulator will be the first device delivered to ECTS following its selection in October 2024 as Eve's training provider and will be operated by ECTS to deliver training to Eve and its customers. The FFS will also play a critical role in the certification process for Eve's eVTOL aircraft and in preparing pilots for safe, efficient operations ahead of Eve's planned entry‑into‑service.

The CAE 3000 series full-flight simulator integrates high-fidelity motion cueing, a precision flight deck replica and the next-generation CAE Prodigy visual system powered by Unreal Engine, delivering the ultra‑realistic training environment required for commercial single‑pilot eVTOL operations in dense urban settings.

“As development at Eve Air Mobility progresses, high‑fidelity simulation is key to training the first wave of pilots and ensuring a safe entry into service of this new aircraft,” says Alexandre Prévost, president, civil aviation at CAE and ECTS board member. “CAE and ECTS are proud to support Eve in developing a scalable, certifiable training ecosystem. This simulator sets a new benchmark for advanced air mobility training infrastructure and underscores our shared commitment to safe, seamless urban air transportation.”

“We have had a successful partnership with CAE over the last years to train pilots to operate our commercial and executive jets worldwide. Now, we are happy to extend our long-term collaboration with CAE to provide the best training tools for operating Eve's eVTOL aircraft. Together, we will continue to advance safety and operational excellence even further,” adds Ayslan Anholon, vice president, flight operations and training, Embraer services and support.

“This simulator is a critical investment in ensuring Eve pilots receive world-class training as we advance toward commercial operations. It strengthens pilot readiness while reinforcing our unwavering commitment to safety and operational excellence,” remarks Luiz Mauad, vice president, customer services at Eve Air Mobility. “It also reflects our disciplined approach to scaling operations responsibly, ensuring our training infrastructure evolves in lockstep with aircraft certification and market entry.”

The simulator will be integrated into the ECTS global training network, leveraging Embraer's decades of operational excellence and CAE's broad footprint in major aviation hubs. The infrastructure will support pilot, maintenance and ground handling training as part of EveTechCare, the company's comprehensive aftermarket services portfolio.

“We are excited to see another step taken by ECTS in the development of Eve's eVTOL training solution,” concludes Anholon. “This first full-flight simulator will be key to supporting aircraft certification while also playing a vital role in training and qualifying the first generation of eVTOL pilots. It represents a significant milestone as we prepare for a safe and efficient entry-into-service.”
