This new Canadian-based training capability will deliver significant benefits for Canadian King Air operators by supporting initial and annual recurrent training in Canada, training that previously required travel and scheduling in facilities outside the country.<\/p><p>\n\u201cThis new domestic simulator capacity is a meaningful investment in safety, operational excellence, and workforce development,\u201d said Mark Goulden, VP Operations, Exchange Income Corporation Flight Training Academy. \u201cBeing able to train Canadians in Canada on a best-in-class, full-motion Level D simulator strengthens readiness, supports standardization, and directly reflects the environments and destinations across Nunavut and other Canadian remote airports, that our crews fly in each day.\u201d<\/p><p>\nDesigned to enhance operational realism and scenario-based learning, the full motion simulator and the associated King Air 360 Flight Training Device includes northern and remote airport environments that support training that is highly relevant to real-world operations. The facility is housed in a new building adjacent to the Winnipeg Airport - Keewatin Air\u2019s home base and a central Canadian location that improves accessibility for pilots and aircrew.<\/p><p>\nThe simulator facility and associated training devices represent an investment of more than $20 million, reflecting EIC\u2019s commitment to safety, proficiency, and performance. Feedback from aviators involved throughout the development and certification process has been extremely positive, noting the simulator\u2019s quality, realism, and adaptability to multiple training scenarios.<\/p><p>\nThe facility will also support additional opportunities to augment training programs across EIC\u2019s portfolio, including the Indigenous Pilot Pathway and Life in Flight. Keewatin Air and the EIC family also look forward to exploring additional partnerships with additional Canadian and additional King Air operators, keeping Canada at the forefront of state-of-the-art aviation training.<\/p><p>\n\u201cWith this exciting new capacity now certified and operational, we are excited about what\u2019s next for us and EIC in the training space,\u201d added Ryan Degroot, President\/CEO of Keewatin Air. \u201cThis is a significant step forward for safety and capability, and it\u2019s only the beginning.\u201d<\/p><p>\n<b>About Keewatin Air LP<\/b><\/p><p>\nKeewatin Air LP is a Winnipeg-based aviation operator providing critical air services across Canada, including medevac and specialized mission operations, with a long-standing focus on safety, reliability, and service to remote and northern communities.<\/p><p>\n<b>About Exchange Income Corporation<\/b><\/p><p>\nExchange Income Corporation is a diversified acquisition-oriented company, focused in two segments: Aerospace &amp; Aviation and Manufacturing.
