CAE offers a wide range of general operating subjects (GOS) to cover aeronautical knowledge that is not addressed in type-specific training. These courses aim at increasing safety by broadening and refreshing pilots knowledge about their environment, and by ensuring that throughout the course the focus remains on the operational aspects of the subject. Courses are delivered for initial and recurrent training. Advanced Courses ASPEN SPECIAL APPROACH PROCEDURES (2 HOUR GS WITH A SIM) This is an FAA-certified course that includes both the ground school and required simulator training all pilots must take to obtain operational approval to fly the KASE Special LOC DME RWY 15 approach. Heavy emphasis is placed on Cockpit Resource Management and Standard Operating Procedures. The course is aircraft specific as described in the FAA s Special Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (FAA Form 8260-10). The ground school must precede the simulator session. We highly recommend two crew members from the same operator attend this class together. CHECK PILOT AIRCRAFT / ALL CHECKS (3 DAYS) This three-day course provides training to a Check Pilot Candidate for the delivery of 135.293/.297 Proficiency Checks and 135.299 line checks. Additionally it prepares the Check Pilot Candidate for delivery of oral or written examinations covering.293 (a) (1) through (8). CHECK PILOT AIRCRAFT / LINE CHECK ONLY (1 DAY) This one-day course provides training to a Check Pilot Candidate for delivery of a 135.299 line check and training flight, as well as the delivery of an oral/written check covering.293 (a) (1) and (4) through (8). The actual training will be modified, as required, to comply with the certificate holder s specific training program. CREW RESOURCE MANAGEMENT - INITIAL* (1 DAY) Crew Resource Management Initial (CRM) is a one-day highly interactive course focusing on cockpit crew performance as outlined in FAA Advisory Circular 120-51E, CAA CAP 737 and FAR 135.330. Topics include a review of basic human factors, policy and regulations, building and maintaining a flight team, authority of pilot in command, planning, effective communication processes, building and maintaining a flight team, managing resources, workload and time management, situational awareness, effects of fatigue or stress on performance, and aeronautical decision making and judgment. The concept of Threat Error Management is discussed and the need for establishing strong SOPs is reinforced throughout the course. Accident reviews and videos are used to supplement the classroom discussions. This course is JAR-OPS compliant. * Initial and Recurrent CRM training is mandatory for Part 135 operators as of March 22, 2013. CREW RESOURCE MANAGEMENT - RECURRENT (3 HOURS) This is a three hour highly interactive course focusing on cockpit crew performance as outlined in FAA Advisory Circular 120-51E, CAA CAP 737 and FAR 135.330.

The concept of Threat and Error Management is discussed and the need for establishing strong SOPs is reinforced throughout the course. Accident reviews and videos are used to supplement the classroom discussions. This course is JAR-OPS compliant. INTERNATIONAL PROCEDURES INITIAL TRAINING (3 DAYS) This three-day course is designed for pilots and flight departments involved in or anticipating international operations. This course is designed for pilots who have not previously attended an International Procedures course and have little or no international experience, or who have not flown international for an extended period of time. Due to the building block approach of the presentation, attendance in chronological order is required. The training requirements for MNPS, RVSM, RNP-4, RNP-10, P-RNAV, B-RNAV, and RNAV 1 and 2 will be met. Training reference sources include FAA order 8700.1 Chapter 222 (MNPS), 8900.1 and FAA Order 8400.12A (RNP-10), FAA Order 8900.1, AC 90-96A and JAA TGL-10 (B-RNAVand P-RNAV), JAA TGL-6, AC 120-55B, AC 91-70A, AC 91-85 (RVSM) and AC 90-100A (RNAV 1 and RNAV 2).
Advanced Courses INTERNATIONAL PROCEDURES RECURRENT TRAINING (1 DAY) This one-day course is similar to the CLRI above, but focuses on North through South America, including Caribbean; therefore it does not cover HLA MNPS (North Atlantic) operations.

Complimentary All courses are 2 hours unless otherwise noted ASPEN AIRPORT FAMILIARIZATION This is not the Aspen Special Approach Procedures class, and does not qualify the client for anything. It is, as the name implies, a generic familiarization of flying in and out of KASE Aspen, one of the country s most challenging airports, challenging due primarily to terrain. The course talks about terrain awareness, altimeter cold temperature corrections, all the current public approaches and departures at KASE, local procedures and some accident history at KASE. CDFA (CONTINUOUS DESCENT FINAL APPROACH) This class includes a discussion of the CDFA Continuous Descent Final Approach, which used to be known as Constant Angle Non- Precision Approach (CANPA). CDFA is a technique used by crewmembers when flying a non-precision instrument approach. ICAO, EASA, the FAA and other worldwide regulatory agencies recommend this technique in order to help flight crews avoid the classic Dive and Drive method of non-precision approach. In the Dive and Drive system, the flight crew uses a step down procedure to lower the aircraft altitude as they approach the airport. With a CDFA, the flight crew will hold a precise ground speed and rate of descent. The result is the ability to fly all types of approaches the same way, using the same SOP, thereby improving safety. The reference document for this course is FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 120-108, which combines guidance from ICAO, EASA and the FAA. CFIT (CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN) / ALAR (APPROACH AND LANDING ACCIDENT REDUCTION) This class includes a discussion of causes of accidents that occur when a flight crew allows a mechanically sound and under control aircraft to fly into the ground. CRM and Situational Awareness as a means of avoiding CFIT accidents are emphasized.
