MPS announced its sponsorship of the International Symposium of Approved Training Organizations hosted by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS). The symposium will take place on 17 September 2019, at 4 Hamilton Place, London.

A keynote address will be given by Steve Creamer, directorof the Air Navigation Bureau at ICAO. The program will then commence in foursessions covering the international scene, issues for discussion, feedback fromworkshops and a panel discussion.

“There is a need for ATOs to come together to addresstraining in an international setting,” said MPS Chief Executive Officer PhilipAdrian, “As ATOs play a more integrated role within professional pilot trainingthan ever before, the symposium is the perfect opportunity to facilitateconversation, and MPS is proud to sponsor this event.”

No international association for ATOs currently exists.However, as reported by Boeing in its 2019 Pilot and Technician Outlook,forecasts project that in the next 20 years the commercial aviation sector willdemand 645,000 new pilots. This is in addition to 98,000 pilots in the businessaviation sector. As demand rises for pilots, so does demand for training.

A global voice for ATOs would allow for consensus,standardization and consistency among all regions. In addition, it would createan important voice for global training issues such as instructor requirementsand future training delivery.

“The Royal Aeronautical Society is pleased to host thispivotal symposium for Approved Training Organizations. It marks an importantstep in facilitating international collaboration within the sector to addresssafety, training, best practice and the increasing demand for commercial pilots,”said Professor Jonathan Cooper, president of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
