After the Swiss Air Force Academy in 1980, Pierre flew combat jets and high performance trainers in the Swiss Air Force until his 50th birthday, in parallel to his civil job. In 1983, Pierre started at the Swiss Aviation School and was hired by Swissair (now Swiss International Airlines), where he is still Captain on the A330/A340. Pierre likes to share his experience and know-how and in 1991 became a co-pilot instructor, firstly on the A310, then as part of the core team responsible for the introduction of the A320 for Swissair. He is also a co-designer & trainer of the four Modules Crew Resource Management Course dedicated to the introduction of the A320.

Re-Qualifying Flight Crews

#RestartingTheEngines
June 23, 2020
Rick Adams, Jacques Drappier, and Pierre Wannaz

There is plenty of speculation about when airlines around the world will begin to ramp up operations again. No one yet knows when or how the resumption will play out. A major factor will be opening of borders by different nations; some countries in Europe have indicated they may not re-open until September or October, even to traffic from other EU countries. In general, though, domestic markets, especially in China and the US, are expected to gather momentum initially. International travel may come later. Passenger willingness to fly is also an unknown, and will hinge on not only ticket prices but perceived cleanliness of airports and aircraft.

When airlines begin to restart their engines, there will be several challenges, including training.

The majority of airlines’ fleets are parked in what is considered “short-term storage,” many filling up airport gates, taxiways and even runways, with the expectation of returning to service within 3-6 months. It can take as long as a week to get an aircraft “preserved,” removing fluids, installing protective casings, etc., followed by routine maintenance each month: fluid checks, idling engines to charge batteries, checking flight controls, inspecting anti-icing systems, towing with a tractor so tyres don’t get flat spots, making sure birds or insects haven’t built nests in vents.

Cabin crew re-training will also be affected. This is mostly done in house by the airline, but the numbers are large (perhaps 6-8 times as many, compared with pilots). They will need refresher and likely some additional training to cope with the “new normal” sanitary procedures.
