Advertising Deadline: Tuesday 5th August
Publication Date: 27th August

CAT 2007 Year in Review
Editor in Chief Chris Lehman reviews the training and simulation highlights of the last year, beginning with his traditional comments on the state of the airline industry, aircraft orders and activity, simulator sales, and outlook for the next year. Major industry trends, global regulatory developments, and the latest sector challenges will be discussed as a prelude to the comprehensive flight training, maintenance and cabin training discussions that will follow.

Training Technology Roundup
Technology Editor Rick Adams reviews the major training and simulation technical developments, from visuals and displays, through to computer, IOS and peripheral simulator components. Entirely new simulator offerings were introduced in 2007, and the discussion will include the activities and achievements of the major simulation suppliers.

Pilot Training in Asia Pacific
With its unprecedented aircraft order book, the Asia Pacific region is on the radar of most simulation and training players. CAT takes a specific look at the dynamics of the region, including flight training activity, demand/supply issues, and outlook for the future.

Maintenance Training Review
Managing Editor Alan Emmings reviews developments in the civil aviation maintenance arena. Regulatory change, the rise of EASA, the emphasis on human factors, the increasing adoption of simulation in maintenance training, personnel supply and demand, and the introduction of entirely new advanced technology aircraft, have all posed challenges to the maintenance training sector in 2007.

Cabin Training Review
Without doubt the pressures on the cabin crew community have been rising, especially in an environment of passenger service reductions and the now permanent security precautions and procedures. Chuck Weirauch provides a roundup of today’s cabin crew training technologies and techniques.

IATA Training and Qualification Initiative (ITQI)
A look at the ITQI “Risk-based Airline Flight Crew Training,” a co-operative effort of IATA, ICAO, Airbus, Boeing, Alteon, Embraer, Bombardier and ATR.
