Air Carrier Training Programs • A robust training program will identify, select and prepare confident, skilled and well rounded pilots, who are: • Fully prepared to assume command of their aircraft in all situations; and • Manage their aircraft both within the normal flight envelope of the aircraft and excursions from the envelope in order to provide safe air transportation.
Air Carrier Training Programs • Pilot Selection & Retention • Competencies for operating in an air carrier environment • Performance tracking system • Pilot Characteristics • Professional behavior • Aeronautical decision making
Air Carrier Training Programs • Robust Training System Characteristics • A seamless training process with continuous analysis • Structured pilot development • Competency-based training • Improved, expanded and required use of simulation • Proficiency-based training for knowledge of aircraft systems • Quality evaluations and proficiency checks
Traditional Training Program • Provides prescriptive training requirements which allows air carrier crewmembers to meet regulatory standards. • New proposed rule has several initiatives to support competency-based training based on demonstration of skill and proficiency. • Evolving to increase the use of sophisticated operating data collection programs to customize and thereby reduce the training footprint.
Advanced Qualification Program • Competency-based training program for pilots, flight attendants and dispatchers. • By 2013 over 75% of U.S. air carrier pilots and flight attendants will be training under AQP. • AQP is systems engineering applied to training, just as SMS is systems engineering applied to safety.
Voluntary Safety Programs ASRS- Aviation Safety Reporting System VDRP- Voluntary Disclosure Reporting Program IEP- Internal Evaluation Program ASAP- Aviation Safety Action Program FOQA- Flight Operations Quality Assurance
The SMS Paradigm Shift • Organizations cannot directly control safety, only manage risk. • Product measures of safety (accidents & incidents) are infrequent, reactive and highly influenced by error variance. • Process measures (safety reports, precursors) are frequent and proactive. • Organizations need to know when they are close to the edge…before they fall over it.
In Conclusion • Today your students are responsible for the safety of their own operations. • Tomorrow they will be responsible for the safety of the entire aviation system. • Are we preparing them for their new role?
