EBT REGULATION – WHY CHANGE?

■ MPL

■ EBT - Industry-wide consensus

- Regulations today based on the experience of hull loss on

early generation of jets

- New “events” added to existing training and checking

programmes

• Saturation of recurrent training

• “Tick” box approach to training

- Aircraft design and reliability improved

• Accidents where aircraft operating without

malfunction

2016 - PARADIGM SHIFT IN TRAINING

Move from separated ‘Theoretical’ and Practical’ focus to development and assessment of pilot competencies in all training phases

… to provide a tool box for any situation

ICAO Competency Based Training and Assessment – Task Force

EASA modernisation of Training system

EASA MODERNISATION OF THE TRAINING SYSTEM

Demands output based, holistic training that:

- progressively trains, assesses and develops the pilot competencies

- enables, challenges and motivates the pilot to exceed ‘satisfactory’ standard in each

training phase

PARADIGM SHIFT IN TRAINING

PARADIGM SHIFT IN TRAINING

RMT.0599 EBT focus on the recurrent and type training of flight crew

Check includes all clustered items over a three year cycle, and

non jeopardy competence training to provide individual development in weaker or requested areas and address airline areas of focus

DELIVERING TRAINING FOR THE FUTURE

TRAINING PRODUCT SOLUTIONS

A MIX OF TRAINING DEVICES TO MEET THE NEED

THE VIRTUAL FLIGHT DECK

Aircraft Systems using a Learning Management System (LMS) for distance learning

Flight Management System Trainers (FMST)

View operate all panels, controls and displays within the flight deck

Training for systems, phase of flight procedures including abnormal training

Delivered through an integrated

learning management system

FLAT PANEL TRAINING (FPT) DEVICES

EASA FTD 1 Level 1/FAA Level 4/5

Software can be same standard as FFS

Throttle quadrants, gear and flap selectors (VPT)

Crew concepts, FMC skills, normal flight procedures and system abnormalities

CRM and Threat & Error Management

Integrated training plan with VFD/FTD/FFS

Mobile - easy to install at pilot base

Maintenance training capability with appropriate options

FLIGHT TRAINING DEVICE (FTD)

EASA FTD 2 Level 1/FAA Level 6/7

Software same standard as FFS

Collimated visuals

Throttle quadrants, tactile crew controls and control loading

Flight deck surround

Normal flight procedures, system abnormalities and aircraft warnings training

Type rating - can offload up to 50% of the required details from the FFS

FULL FLIGHT SIMULATION

Represents the highest fidelity training device

Using the VFD product and associated Lesson Plan

Airlines have been able to reduce the 4 hour slot down to 3 – 3.5 hours

Required for type rating, MPL Intermediate and recurrent training

Airlines looking for ‘virtual ownership’ solutions due to relative high cost

Flexible Pay by The Hour (PBTH) arrangements

IN CONCLUSION

The regulatory framework evolving towards Evidence Based Training

Training products and services will adapt to meet this new realty

Airlines continue to seek training solutions that are relevant, effective but deliver lower cost

Competency based training to be embedded in the training from academy cadet to airline pilot

Training supplier innovation required to meet this goal –bundled training solutions are the smart trend!
