3. Formed 20 years ago by ATAC on request of industry to develop occupational standards for aviation workers. Initially based on OJT/OJE evaluation Certification enhanced professionalism Maintenance Accreditation completed in partnership with industry and regulator. Industry Skills/Demographic Research Products to assist the Industry- (SMS- QSA workshops) A sector Council is Not an Association CAMC now CCAA

4. Human Resource Studies: 2001, 2003, 2010 • Clearly identified the need of occupational standards for pilots.

5. it does not include other occupational tasks that pilots are required to perform, beyond flying the aircraft; it does not include the non-technical skills required of pilots, such as customer service; it does not adequately convey the differences between various commercial pilot operating environments; and it does not distinguish between a pilot, a flight engineer, a flight instructor, or even between fixed wing and helicopter pilots. What is wrong with a Licensing Standard?

6. The expected results of this project will include: Development of an accepted definition of the specific occupational skills, knowledge, attitudes and competencies required for pilots; The project will include small, medium and large air operators, flight training and air taxi operators, and the regulator; Increased training and use of simulation for Air Operators; Enhanced industry capability to advance and promote pilots based upon standards of training and experience; and Improved mobility of professional pilots among air operators and flight training companies across Canada The major goal of this project is to go beyond the existing licensing requirements for Canadian Commercial Pilots to further develop and enhance the professionalism of pilots for the benefit of the industry, its employers, users and the travelling public. Pilot Occupational Standard Development Project

7. Project Duration:June 2010 – December 2011 Contractor Engaged – Human Resources Systems Group Scope of Occupational Standard – It is expected that there will be an Occupational Standard for any commercial pilot flying for hire, regardless of the type of aircraft or operation. While there will only be one Occupational Standard it is anticipated that there will be sub sets of the competencies required by the various types of flying activities and sub sets of air operations. Executive Committee established SME’s engaged due to the complexity of the occupational standard: Mike Doiron- Fixed wing Gary Grass-Rotor Wing Working group meetings were held Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto-over 150 participants

10. 1.1 Critical Operating Skills and Abilities Standard: Pilots are required to demonstrate critical operational skills and abilities to achieve desired organizational results and outcomes. Competencies: Conducts flight operations in a manner that demonstrates an understanding of client operations and work processes Able to process and retain a variety of flight-related information (short term memory capacity) Accommodates rapidly changing requirements and schedules Works independently Manages time and resources effectively to produce desired results Treats company equipment and property with care and respect Seeks better ways of accomplishing results and using less critical resources within approved regulatory and organizational limits Works with confidence in own ability, but respects the aircraft operational envelope at all times Able to react quickly to an emergency or unusual situations Continuously learning and reviewing the knowledge, skills and competencies required of a pilot, regardless of length of experience Major Skill Block 1: Aircraft Operations

12. Understanding the Essential Skills required by various occupations and training programs helps: Course and curriculum developers such as language training for foreign trained pilots. Guidance counsellors and teachers working with youth and adults. Guidance and career counsellors providing advice on career options and educational routes. Parents, mentors and advisors helping students plan for their future. Learners who wish to better understand occupational requirements. Occupational and workplace researchers who are studying employment in Canada How Can we Use Essential Skills profiles?

13. Reading (4), Document Use (4), Writing (3), Measurement and Calculation Math (3), Data Analysis Math (3), Estimation Math (2), Oral Communication (4), Problem Solving (4), Decision Making (4), Critical Thinking (4), Job Task Planning and Organizing (3), Finding Information (3), Working with Others (3), Computer Use (3), and Continuous Learning (4) Essential Skills Required

15. Flying instructors work in three major categories: Aircraft Simulators Ground school or classroom One instructor can work in one or all areas. In all areas, instructors must have a clear understanding of adult education. Good instructors must able to work well with a wide diversity of students and adapt to those students specific learning styles. 406 Operational Task List for Instructors
