SMART USE OF GENERAL DATA HAS HELPED AIRLINE EFFICIENCIES Have we used data as smartly to improve pilot training?
SMART USE OF FLIGHT OPERATIONS DATA HAS HELPED SAFETY Flight Data Analysis / Monitoring Flight Operations Quality Assurance FDA / FDM FOQA Outer-loop data: Data from Operational Challenges LOSA Line-Oriented Safety Audits collected outside of training activity (ref. ICAO doc. 9995) typically from Flight Operations & Safety Management System Shared Data SMS Data Safety Management System
STRONG DEMAND FORECAST FOR AIRLINE PILOTS OVER 10 YEARS 255K new pilots needed by 2027 Additional pilots 150K Active Pilots in 2027 440K Over next 10 years, airlines will need: 255,000 new First Officers 180,000 new Captains Active Pilots in 2017 290K Replacement Pilots 105K 2017 2027 Potential threat à therefore it is time to use training as a mitigation measure. Source: CAE Airline Pilot Demand Outlook
SMART USE OF TRAINING DATA CAN IMPROVE PILOT TRAINING Inner-loop data: Success rates differences between aircraft types and training topics collected during training activity (ref. ICAO doc. 9995); can be used as part of EBT data streams (ref. ICAO doc. 9995) Instructor benchmarking Trainee feedback Skill / Competency retention capability Traditional Training flight training data data Inner-loop data generates insights we can use to improve training
PILOT COMPETENCIES: THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE OUTER & INNER LOOPS FDA/ FOQA Success rates differences between aircraft types and training topics Operational Challenges LOSA ICAO Instructor benchmarking Traditional training flight training data data Pilot Competencies Shared Data SMS Data Trainee feedback Skill / Competency retention capability OUTER LOOP INNER LOOP
AN INTEGRATED APPLICATION OF DATA, ANALYTICS AND TECHNOLOGY ENHANCES PILOT TRAINING
EXAMPLE OF A PILOT TRAINING SYSTEM USING DATA & TECHNOLOGY 1 2 Create electronic lesson plans Integrate Operator specific SOPs 3 4 5 Objectively assess pilot manoeuvres with live data Training manoeuvre scorecard (facts) Training assessment sign-off Identify competency gaps & adjust the training curriculum 14 Instructor grading after suggested objective assessment grading
OBJECTIVE PILOT ASSESSMENT IN ACTION 4 Scorecard 1 Training task 2 Automated system suggested scoring 3 Instructor grading Training manoeuvre scorecard Instructor grading after suggested objective assessment grading 15
OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT EXAMPLE à LOW VISIBILITY TAKE-OFF VIDEO (Validation video) Launched with in 2018
CONCLUSION Technology, data & analytics can: enable greater instructor focus on non-technical competencies, by taking care of automated, live objective measurements; support EBT and competency-based training solutions; support the evolution of flight training programs by identifying trends; aid instructors / examiners standardization through analysis of grading trends, versus automatic objective assessment; create a de-identified industry database to objectively support flight training on a wide scale; potentially be applied smartly throughout pilots careers, from ab-initio training to air carrier training.

OEM Perspective on New Training Methodologies Christian Norden Director A350 XWB Flight Operations & Training Support Airbus
Competency Based Training Role of the Training Devices Capt. Christian Norden IATA Safety and Flight Ops Conference 2018 Montreal, 17-19 April 2018
New Airbus Pilot Training Philosophy Introduced in 2014 on A350 2017 on A320 and A330 Competency-based training: Elements of ICAO - EBT 9 Airbus competencies Focus on the Need to Understand Training More effective, More efficient, More fun! New learning approach based on learning by discovery Hands-on training with Full Flight Simulator at early stage of the course Manual flying reinforcement

Airbus Training Flight by Airbus Operations & Training symposium May 2016 Role of the Training Devices in Competency Based Training Training overall competencies (not just specific tasks) increases output quality Using innovative training devices from the beginning may reduce training time Scheduling training devices according learner needs (and not by functional blocks) significantly increases training quality (but also scheduling complexity) Developing training devices for the future (e.g. artificial 3D environment): keep the trainee competence needs in focus (and not the fascination of technology and animation alone) Page 63
