WATS Pilot Training 2010 "Training Lessons from NASA and U.S. Military Aviation" By Captain Winston E. Scott, USN-RET
Thoughts about Aviation Safety from Space… • Capt. Winston Scott – Astronaut – Space Shuttle Endeavor in 1996 and Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997 • Dean – College of Aeronautics – Florida Tech
Space and Military Training Philosophy • Individual skills and knowledge • Knowledge of systems and procedures • Train for the mission • Team formation is crucial • Team trains together and stays together
Space and Military Training Philosophy • Simulation first and foremost • Rehearse contingencies exhaustively • Practice ‘til perfect and then keep going • Crew Involvement
Aviation Training Philosophy • Educated, competent pilots will perform consistently in the field • Develop a solid academic foundation • Integrate world-class flight training • Integrate a airline style Level D simulation experience • Prepare students with crew based training and type rating in 737 • Provide systems and FMS training as part of their degree program
Conclusion • Military and Space training sets the standards for sustainable safety based programs in aviation • Integrated academics, flight training, and realistic simulation is crucial to pilot training success • Scenarios and prototypes and exhaustive testing are essential • Think futuristic in all we do
