CQFA Multi-Crew in Advanced Cockpits and Jet Transition Program
Background
The Centre Quebecois de Formation Aeronautique has been operating for 42 years. We belong to the Ministry of Education of Quebec and our main campus is located 500 km North of Montreal, in the Saguenay region.
The CQFA offers a post-secondary 3-year program in aviation, free of tuition. Each year, 40 new students are selected from a pool of 325 to 400 applicants. The three-phase student-selection process takes 3 months to complete and uses the WOMBAT since 1995.

Background
For 25 years, the CQFA has also operated a Continuing Education Department in the Montreal vicinity. We run 45 on-demand courses in different fields of flight operations (aircrew, airport, wild life mgnt, winter survival, regulatory, etc.)
Approved Check Pilot Course

Background
Students enroll at the CQFA for three years in a common study path. Prior to the second year’s mid-term, each student needs to select a career path among :
Amphibian & ski bush operations (C185, DHC-2)
(Including the liberal use of bug repellent...)Turbine helicopter flying (B206)
(Extensive long-line training and confined areas)Multi-engine IFR (PA31, semi glass)
(Day—Night—Icing—IMC, all in crew concept)
CQFA Multi-Crew in Advanced Cockpits and Jet Transition Program
Background
From 1992 until 2008, all multi-engine students received a 30-hour Multi-Crew training in three B200 Level 2 FTDs prior to graduation, concurrently with the last phases of their multi-IFR training.

Moving towards airline entry level
In August 2007, at the end of life of our 4 FTDs, we began a study to migrate our multi-crew training onto large transport technology and swept-back wing.

2007 (Q3)Extensive consultation with...

Decision to move the campus from CYHU to CYUL

2008One-day airline management focus group
hosted at Air Transat HQ, to reach a consensus on our generic approach
Decision on the class of transport jetto be modeled
Could be used in the bush flying program... but far too noisy for our new location.
Unable to teach standard engine-outprocedures...
Six engines... out of scope

What were those specs... ?
1.A generic life-size cockpit somewhere near the epicenter of large transport cockpits in 2008, including control loading and quick-don O2 masks2.Dual FMS operation3.No new hardware development4.An environment to TEACH, not to CHECK5.Below $1M CAD, excluding of testing and installation6.Cylindrical visual with two international airports 90 minutes apart (YUL, the second later became JFK)7.Our vision of generic, ultra-simplified aircraft systems, which are all operational, fault-able, and consequential
