Former aircraft engineer launches Nubis Aviation Training

Claudio Marturano, a former chief engineer for BombardierQ400, has launched Nubis Aviation Training to ensure pilots, maintenance crewand ground staff are properly trained in a flexible, cost-effective way.

Nubis’s training model is based on online and distancelearning that is carried out continuously to meet European Union AviationSafety Agency (EASA) – the USA’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)standards. The training model was inspired by Marturano’s study with The OpenUniversity (OU) in the UK. The OU is known for its flexible teaching model andfocus on part-time students.

The Nubis Aviation team will be at Pilots Career Europe 2019in Berlin to introduce the concept to pilots and industry representatives.

Claudio Marturano said: “Airlines and maintenance, repairand operations companies face significant challenges to ensure employees meetindustry requirements and are compliant with training standards: the workforceis constantly moving around, it’s expensive to hire venues, and staff areunavailable to work for chunks of time while training.

“Research shows that continuous learning increases knowledgeretention and productivity: that’s what we’ve based the Nubis Aviation Trainingsupport system on. Training can be carried out anywhere in the world, wheneveremployees have time and space to focus.

“I completed an MBA at The Open University by studyingpart-time while managing over 200 employees and 15 aircraft. I realised thisflexible model of learning should be used in the aviation industry for regulatorytraining required by the European Aviation Safety Agency.”

Claudio added: “Nubis delivers EASA-recognised courses andsupport in human factors, Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS), fueltank safety, and we also develop specific training on a case-by-case basis.

“We want to respond to the needs of the industry. Pilots,for example, have many needs with regard to mental health as evident from a numberof high-profile crashes in recent years. We are developing a mindfulnesstraining tool that can be used by pilots in the cockpit to manage stress andbring focus.”
