Watch our expert panel of Capt. Tanja Harter, European Cockpit Association, Capt. Martin Mahoney, Emirates, Capt. Carl Haslem, Resilient Pilot and Capt. Helen Heenan, KURA Human Factors discuss the impact the Covid-19 pandemic has had on pilot skills. Webinar hosted by Capt. Jacques Drappier.
In Denmark, higher education is free … but not pilot training.
Anna Kjær Thorsøe, General Manager / CTKI of Center Air Pilot Academy (CAPA) discusses attracting students and helping them to be attractive to airline interviewers.
New and more capable training devices below the full-flight simulator level are shaking the foundations of defense departments’ training enterprises. Group Editor Marty Kauchak provides insights from four randomly selected companies on developments in the military aviation training market space.
In the 12-year period he conducted more than 430 one-on-one human factor sessions with pilots who had not yet met the required standard in the simulator or on the flight line, Lex Rock Heemstra analysed the trends and pitfalls which resulted in those pilots requiring additional training.
Instructors need standards… and the ability to adapt their teaching methods – for pilots returning from furlough, for different learning styles, and for new instructional media. Regional airline training veteran Paul Preidecker shares his experienced opinions on expectations of flight instructors.
We are pleased to unveil our pilot conference programme for the 2021 World Aviation Training Summit (WATS) from June 15-16 in Orlando, FL, USA, at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort.
WATS addresses the current and future training issues affecting your business, from personnel selection and recruitment, to regulation and training technologies. It offers unrivalled opportunities to meet with the key decision makers and influencers within the international airline training community, and allows attendees to discuss the latest training technologies and techniques to improve operational safety and efficiency for pilot, cabin crew, and maintenance training.
You may have heard some say ‘forget a piloting career’; no new pilots will be needed because so many experienced pilots are now grounded. Don’t lose faith, encourages Captain John Bent, FRAeS.
Last month, a 24-year-old Japan Air Self-Defense Force trainee and a 25-year-old US Air Force flight instructor died when their T38 trainer crashed nearly two miles from Montgomery Regional Airport in Alabama.
