PRAETOR 600: CERTIFIED OUTPERFORMANCE. The Praetor 600 — the world’s most disruptive and technologically advanced super-midsize aircraft that leads the way in performance, comfort and technology. Unveiled at NBAA in October 2018 and now certified by ANAC, FAA and EASA, the Praetor 600 did not just meet initial expectations, it exceeded them. Named for the Latin root that means “lead the way,” the Praetor 600 is a jet of firsts. It is the first super-midsize jet to fly beyond 3,700 nm at M0.80. The first with over 4,000 nm range at LRC. The first with full fly-by-wire. The first with turbulence reduction capability. The first with a cabin altitude as low as 5,800 feet. The first with high-capacity, ultra- high-speed connectivity from Viasat’s Ka-band. And all of this, backed by a top-ranked Customer Support network.

training (EBT) programs. This is the future of flight training—train smarter, not harder. Evidence-based Training According to the European Union Avi- ation Safety Agency (EASA), “EBT is a methodology that identifies areas for improvement and allows re-prioritiza- tion of training topics to enhance the confidence and capability of flight crews to operate the aircraft in all flight regimes and to be able to recognize and manage unexpected situations.” CAE announced in January a new data source for its Rise Training System. By teaming with The LOSA Collaborative, CAE customers can tailor their programs based on findings from line-oriented safety audits (LOSA). LOSA is a proactive safety program that uses peer-to-peer line observations to col- lect data under non-jeopardy conditions. LOSA data is rich; it is one of the most reliable methods to collect data from rou- tine line operations. In doing so, it is one of the best sources to measure and assess flight crew performance as it relates to CAE has developed the Rise Training System to improve training using line-oriented safety audits, which collect data from routine line operational complexities and threat and operations but under a non-punitive framework. error management (TEM) skills.
