CL601 Supporting Crew Member-EN
About the role
The Second-in-Command Mentor (SCM) Program at CAE is designed to train and qualify members to provide right‑seat support for clients participating in FAA‑approved 14 CFR 142 curriculum courses.

Successful candidates demonstrate strong professionalism, excellent communication skills, and a commitment to delivering a high‑quality training experience.
