Training for Manual Flying Skills

Transcription

1 EATS 2012 Training for Manual Flying Skills Presented by Capt. Jacques Drappier

2 ACCIDENT RATES IATA Figures 2011

3 ICAO STATISTICS LOC-I = Loss of Control in flight

4 AIRBUS Hull Loss Accidents end Total CFIT Loss of Control Off the runway Land short No Fuel Other

5 EROSION OF MANUAL FLYING SKILLS? Is it true? Is it important? What can we do about it?

6 IS IT TRUE? Overruns Loss of Control accidents Lack of scientific data Yes, it is true

7 IS IT IMPORTANT? Automation has brought safer environment First generation jets were difficult to fly Manual flying skills used less often but still needed Automation may be leading to complacency YES, It is important

8 What can we do about it? PROPER AB INITIO TRAINING PROPER COMMAND TRAINING BETTER RECENCY TRAINING

9 TRAINING Ab Initio Training Upset recovery training must be included Simulator time can be excellent training time Flying Hours is not a guarantee of competency Type Training Competency Based Training More manual flight training must be included FFS is the appropriate tool Recurrent Training EBT will help in optimizing the training effectiveness More manual flying time needed

10 The AIRBUS Way Airbus Pilot Instructor Course APIC Propeller aircraft ( multi-pilot) JET IOE/LIFUS Airbus Pilot Transition - APT Entry Level Training - ELT

11 A350 XWB Airbus Training The Training Challenge 11

12 Various options for training and Airline Operations Same Type Rating A340 Same Type Rating A320 Same Type Rating A350 * Same Type Rating A330 * CCQ & MFF paths Differences training * Projected and subject to approval by the Aviation Authorities

14 The Structured Approach - TNA Process A350 XWB Training objectives analysis Competency based Training Human Factor Inputs Base Base Aircraft Aircraft Base Aircraft Prerequisite Abilities TNA Subjet Matter Experts (SME s) Course Build β Courses Regulations OEB input Training Evaluation (End user inputs)

15 A350 XWB Flight Ops & Training Development SOPs CBT FTD FCOM FCTP

16 Principle 1: The Functional Approach Learn by doing! more efficient more effective Linked to design! Think about RMP spring loaded toggle switch, just try explaining that, then just use it

17 Principle 2: Start from the easiest TNA: Consolidate manual flying and finish with abnormal ops

19 The A350 suite of training aids CBT PTT APT+ FFS CBT = Need To Know Proper use of devices will free time in the FFS for dynamic training

20 CONCLUSION Automation has developed big benefits Manual Flying skills are still very important Continuous attention is needed in all phases of the pilot training to develop these competencies Type training must balance all aspects: CRM, automation, manual flying. A350 training will reflect the latest thinking on this balance
