The training centre was constructed by CAE as a company-owned/company-operated facility following the awarding of a contract in 2013 to deliver King Air 350 simulator services to RAAF pilots, as well as air combat officers from the RAAF and maritime aviation warfare officers from the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), CAE stated.

“The CAE Sale training centre is a great example of an innovative business model that delivers benefits to both the Australian Defence Force and industry,” said Ian Bell, CAE vice-president and general manager for the Asia Pacific and Middle East.
“We brought high-quality training where it was needed at RAAF Base East Sale, and we operate the training centre as a true partnership with the RAAF.”
The training centre, which houses a CAE-built King Air 350 full-flight simulator, is available for use by other military and civil customers.
