Editorial Line up

Rotary Wing Training Focus  
The civil helicopter sector is enormously diverse in its operations, and includes many relatively small operators engaged in medical evacuation, executive transport, policing, logging, resource exploration, and oil platform servicing. The use of simulation in this sector has lagged the fixed-wing community for several structural reasons. With new training device definitions looming, and advanced simulation technology offering improved price/performance ratios, the rotary wing simulation market is poised for growth. CAT investigates.

Australian Training Perspectives  
Australia has an enviable reputation for excellence in aviation training, and this expertise is sought by many operators and airlines in the region. CAT takes a look at the industry in this exciting Asia Pacific aviation power house.

Maintenance Training Insights
In this second of a two part series, CAT continues its review of aviation maintenance training at the start of the new decade.  In part 2 the focus is on contrasting the training approaches and philosophies of the main engine OEMs, with a look at the tools and innovations now helping AMTs perform their roles.

ATC Simulation and Training  
The training of Air Traffic Control candidates using sophisticated simulation equipment has become as common as the use of Full Flight Simulators for pilots. CAT investigates the nature of modern ATC training and the types of training technology available.

Airline Training Profile: Emirates 
As the largest airline in the Middle East, and operating an all wide-body fleet, Emirates is an industry bellwether for aircraft purchases, and unlike many carriers it can boast of consistent profitability and service excellence. CAT investigates the training expertise of the flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates.

A View on Training and Safety
Guest author Captain John Bent outlines the views of some airline industry leaders, pointing out that training is not always considered the highest priority. With the industry set to resume its robust growth patterns, it is more important than ever to focus on reducing the accident rate, and that means ensuring that crew training is seen as the highest priority of any operator. 

Aviation Career Outlook
CAT examines the current outlook for careers in the aviation industry, with emphasis on flight crew supply, demand and future outlook. How attractive is the industry to the current crop of new entrants and how is the industry ensuring success for the next generation of aviation professionals?

WATS/RATS  Preview
An advance look at CAT Magazine’s World Aviation Training Conference & Tradeshow (WATS), to be held April 27-29 in Orlando, Florida.
