John Bent and Chris Ranganathan have answered the 28 questions we ran out of time to answer during the live ATO Of The Future Webinar. Hear more from Chris Ranganathan, Chief Learning Officer of CAE, during Global Airline Training & Simulation - Virtual this November 10-12.
Halldale CEO Andy Smith relaunches the new monthly SCT e-newsletter by discussing the coronavirus' effect on the safety critical workforce and how it will change the training industry.
Rewatch the first of our new series of online discussions regarding current training and simulation issues and best practices across civil aviation, military, healthcare and other safety-critical industries.
USAIG and Airbus Helicopters North America have a tradition of teaming to encourage helicopter operators to consistently participate in recurrent training endorsed by the manufacturers of their aircraft.
With the global economic downturn, criminal activity is on the rise. Airlines train their employees to spot potential sex trafficking victims, and to take action — safely. Rona Gindin reports.
At check-in, the ticket counter agent notices a young teenage girl with a man about 40. The man does all the talking, answers all questions, handles the passports. The girl keeps her eyes down. She’s just a grumpy adolescent with her dad, the airline employee assumes … yet something just does not feel right.
That duo could indeed be standard travelers. They could also be a victim and perpetrator of sex trafficking. Air travel is involved in 38% of human trafficking incidents, says Polaris, a Washington, DC-based organization that fights human trafficking.
That means it’s worth training aviation employees to spot potential human trafficking incidents, and to teach them which authorities to contact when a situation looks iffy.
Safe and efficient flight operations rely on pilots’ management of their mental resources. Watch Captain Owen Sims discuss the importance of pilots using reason, planning and logic rather than raw emotion during his talk at EATS 2019.
A key part of the FAA’s aircraft re-certification is a simulator training evaluation by a Joint Operational Evaluation Board (JOEB) in which pilots from around the world will be asked to validate training requirements. The JOEB is said to be primarily looking at the order and priority of checklists and memory items.
Travel restrictions related to the pandemic add uncertainty to how JOEB sessions can be conducted. The select group may perform its work remotely in flight simulators around the world, rather than transiting to Boeing’s main training center in Miami, Florida, where COVID-19 is raging anew.
Following the sim sessions, the FAA's Flight Standardization Board will propose minimum training requirements, then a public comment period, before final approval of training.
Experts in the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) are applying explainable machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches to develop thousands of models that could help federal, state and local decision-makers as they make re-opening decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
