Halldale President and CEO Andy Smith picks the positives on another year the simulation training community will be happy to forget and looks forward to 2022 and some growth for the industry.

One feature of the future of aviation training was clear to see at the recent EATS, the presence of many delegates, clutching hand-held controls, with their faces obscured by VR google-facemasks. Conor Keeling, an A330 Captain for a major European airline, flying for 33 years and 20,000 hours since 1981, discusses his observations of EATS 2021.

From the moment we embarked on planning EATS 2021, we knew it was going to be a challenge for us and you. We asked you what you thought of EATS 2021, and are pleased to share some of the insights and results of this, the first live in-person event in Europe since 2019.
