Changing Fortunes,

Even Volcanic Growth The airline industry won’t be looking back at 2009 with any degree of nostalgia. IATA’s Giovanni Bisignani said that 2009 goes into the history books as the “worst year” that the industry has seen since 1945, with global passenger traffic down 3.5% and freight by 10.1%, resulting in total industry losses of some $9.9 billion. More losses were forecast for 2010 but in May IATA abruptly changed a forecast 2010 industry loss of $2.8 billion into a global earnings forecast of $2.5 billion. Airline industry resilience remains impressive. Editor in Chief Chris Lehman takes a look at the highlights.

ollowing the volcanic ash fiasco in April, passenger traffic rebounded strongly in May with an 11.7% increase in passenger traffic and a 34.3% jump in freight demand compared to May 2009. Passenger traffic is now (mid-2010) about 1% above prerecession levels, and freight about 6%.

Europe posted the lowest rate of growth of 8.3% for May compared to the same month last year, due to continued concerns over the eurozone debt crisis. In fact, Europe remains a stark weak spot with a forecast loss of almost $3 billion through 2010 for airlines on the continent, compared to forecast earnings for North American carriers of $1.9 billion.

The Middle East achieved the highest growth at 17.5%, with Asia Pacific at 13.2%. The North American carriers saw a 10.9% increase in May over the same month last year and have had particular success with matching capacity to demand, driving the load factor to over 82%, the highest amongst all regions.

21st century saw the lowest accident rates in recorded history.

On the other, the continual improvement the industry has seen each decade now shows signs of stagnating. Since 2003, the number of annual fatal accidents has essentially levelled out. The concern is that given continued industry expansion, the number of accidents will rise to unacceptably high levels unless the rate is driven down. And that means ensuring all stakeholders understand the fundamentals of how to actually achieve that goal.

Orders That industry expansion, despite the recent economic turmoil, remains intact. But 2009 orders and deliveries were substantially down, FIGURE 4 with Airbus-Boeing combined net orders at just 413, as GLOBAL compared to the 2008 total Airbus-Boeing figure of 1,445, “COMPETITIVE” LEVEL D and for 2007 a whopping 2,871. Combined Airbus-Boeing deliveries FLIGHT SIMULATOR SALES Source: CAT Magazine totalled 979 in 2009. The dramatic decline over the past two years saw Boeing lowering its annual 20 year forecast to 29,000 aircraft 2004-2009 last year, but maintaining its faith in the55 long term demand picture.

51 51 Orders bounced back in first half 2010 with combined Boeing and Airbus orders at some 396 (279 for Boeing as at July 21, and 117 for Airbus as at June 30), almost the total for the entire year 33 2009. Demand for the venerable 737 has underpinned Boeing’s 27 sales 22 success, with a remarkable 228 new orders in first half, with the 777 accounting for 11 new net orders and the 787 Dreamliner representing 36. Airbus lagged Boeing at the mid-year point, with just 43 A320 orders taken, much less than the rival Boeing 737. But a most significant additional order from Emirates during the ILA Berlin Airshow for 32 A380s impressed the pundits, as it brings 2004 06

By Farnborough, the picture was looking 1990extraordinarily 2009 bright 2029 – an astounding $47 billion worth of new aircraft orders was taken as a sure sign that the recovery had arrived. The B787 Dreamliner made its maiden transatlantic appearance and by the last day of the show more than 800 passenger aircraft sales had been announced – the vast majority were mainstays such as the B737-800, A320 family, Embraer 190s, and Bombardier business aircraft. No orders were received for the Bombardier “C-Series”, although there seemed to be an understanding that these were forthcoming - subject to some engine selection issues - and that Boeing and Airbus were coming around to the realisation that there would be new competition in the single-aisle market.

Leasing company orders figured most prominently at Farnborough. Highlights included Steven Udvar-Hazy’s Air Lease CorporaFIGURE 4 51 A320/321s and 15 Embraer tion’s order of some 54 B737-800s, “COMPETITIVE” 190’s.

Three B787 sales were 55 total backlog to announced for Royal Jordanian, bringing the B787 51 51 860 aircraft, across 56 countries. In addition to Air Lease Corporation’s order of 15 Embraer 190s, the Brazilian company also sold 24 E190s to Republic Airlines, and up to 140 33E175s to UK regional car2 rier Flybe – if all options are exercised the deal could be worth $5 22 Sukhoi S100 were also announced, billlion. Over 100 orders for the including 30 from Bermuda-based Pearl Aircraft Corporation and 12 from Orient Thai Airlines. ATR proved the age of the turboprop is far from over, surprising many by bagging some 72 ATR 42/72 sales.

While Boeing lowered its annual 20 year forecast last year, it did the opposite this year, releasing a forecast in July that pre2007 2008 20 2004 2005 2006 dicts a demand between 2010 and 2029 for 30,900 new aircraft FIGURE 4 FIGURE worth $3.6 trillion, up from 29,0004 in the previous forecast. Much GLOBAL “COMPETITIVE” LEVEL D “COMPETITIVE” of the increase is driven GLOBAL by rising demand from the single-aisle LEVEL D Source: CAT Mag FLIGHT SIMULATOR SALES Source: CAT Mag FLIGHT SIMULATOR SALES market, and in fact this latest two-decade forecast appears just a few weeks after Boeing2004-2009 announced increases in B737 production, slated for 2012. The2004-2009 Low Cost Carrier (LCC) segment is 55 55 51 51 behind a good deal of the single aisle demand. Comments from 51 51 Boeing vice president of marketing Randy Tinseth indicate that the second decade of Boeing’s 20 year forecast weighs new market entrants significantly. And it’s not 33 just Embraer, Sukhoi and 33 2 2 Bombardier that will pose new competition. The Chinese C919 22 22 development, as is the Russian - a168-190 seat aircraft - is under Irkut MS-21, a 150-212 seat machine. The new aircraft entrants may prove to be game changers in the latter half of the decade.

This view of the future sees the market consolidating around the 100-400 seat range, and for the third straight year adjusts downward both the very large and regional aircraft segments, while seeing increased twin-aisle demand in the 777 and 787 segments. Figure 2 illustrates the striking geographic growth and demand areas while figure 3 summarises the actual forecast and the change delta from last year.

For the past several years CAT - and others - have been warning of a pilot shortage but it appears that the industry may be finally waking up to this reality. As orders accelerate, the cycle is beginning again. A well-publicized roadshow by Emirates was announced in July – the airline was looking to recruit up to 700 experienced crew to accommodate its fleet growth.

This news came about the same time as the stunning pilot and maintenance personnel demand forecast was released by Boeing’s Training and Flight Services Division, forecasting a need for a total of 448,000 new airline pilots and over 500,000 mechanics to enter the profession over the next 20 years. IATA, the US FAA, and ICAO’s NGAP initiative are essentially voicing the same concern about the medium and long term supply. The problem is much more acute in the US than elsewhere given the fact that the major carriers have enjoyed a never ending supply of pretrained pilots from the regionals and other operators, and do not underwrite any primary training costs. The regionals in turn then hire from the flight training organisations and then a shortage of instructors looms. The whole cycle is stimulated by economic expansion and mitigated by recession but these repeated cycles do not impact the long term numbers which are directly influenced by aircraft orders and fleet growth.

A major question is whether there is enough training infrastructure to address this demand as we head into yet another expansion. The reduction in investment in ab intio training as a result of the last recession has seen training capacity declining, while general interest in the profession seems to be waning. Hiring is slow coming out of the recession but given the industry’s current position on the economic cycle, it is beginning to build again. In particular, western European Low Cost Carriers and eastern European operators continue to hire, as do many carriers in Asia – clearly a willingness to go where the jobs are is key.

Simulator Demand The 2009 simulator sales equation was greatly impacted by the economic recession. In last year's Sourcebook, CAT reported some 51 FFS sales for 2008 in the so-called “competitive” market.

Tallying company supplied data for 2009 points to almost a 50% decline – only 27 units were sold last year, the lowest level in five years. The high water mark was 55 in 2007. With the economic downturn, the normal forces that drive simulator sales, including aircraft deliveries, pilot hiring, F/O to captain conversion, 08

CAT MAGAZINE • ISSUE 4/2010

and conversion between aircraft types all slowed. And with the increased retirement age in the US – from 60 to 65 – pilot attrition slowed, resulting in a further dampening of simulation and training events and FFS demand.

CAE reported some 21 civil FFS sales in calendar year 2009, including the initial Bombardier C Series device (CAE is part of the C Series development program), but not including the aircraft’s associated engineering development simulator. Of this number, most (13) were for single aisle B737 and A320 family aircraft, and except for two B737NGs sold to Continental and one to Kenya Airways, and an A320 each for Avianca and Sofia Flight Training, all of these single aisle machines were for Asian/Middle Eastern customers. Other major 2009 announcements included the award of two FFS for China’s new ARJ21 regional jet, an ATR 72 for Mount Cook Airlines, and a convertible A330/340 machine to Mumtalakat. On the training services side of the ledger, 2009 saw a contract with flydubai for initial and recurrent training on the 737-800 aircraft, as well as an expansion of the Global Academy’s presence in China with a pilot provisioning contract for Xiamen Airlines.

CAE won both the majority of open competitions for FFS in CY 2009, as well as visual systems with its TROPOS technology. The company continues to refine the 7000 and 5000 series technologies, and is showing leadership in evidence-based training, using real world flight data analysis through its Flightscape products. Its global network of training centres and exclusive agreements with airframe manufacturers and operators also continue to pay dividends, with mid-2010 already witnessing a 10 year agreement with Mitsubishi for the MRJ, and a master agreement with ATR for simulation and training provisioning.

It also announced a joint venture acquisition of China Southern West Australian Flying College (CSWAFC) in Perth, Australia, representing the 11th location for the CAE Global Academy. And as a further sign of the recovery, by July 2010 CAE had already inked some 16 year-to-date FFS orders, including an A330/340 convertible to Saudi Arabian, two 737-900 and an ATR72 for Lion Air, a 777-300 to Turkish Airlines, and A320 and A330 machines for China Eastern.

In 2009 Thales announced an A330/340 Turkish Airlines contract, as well as a B777-300ER machine for PIA, both based on the company’s new RealitySeven architecture. In the spring of 2010 Thales also announced that its first RealitySeven-based A320 simulator had achieved RFT at the Airbus Training Centre in Toulouse. Together with its new 100 million pound simulator manufacturing facility in Crawley, Thales’ simulation architecture demonstrates the trend towards modular technologies, device commonalities, and increased realism and training efficiencies.

The recent announcement that Boeing Training & Flight Services has been granted provisional approval for its 787 Dreamliner pilot training courses by the FAA, with advanced simulation equipment supplied by Thales, underscores these trends. Pilots can transition to the new 787 airplane in five to 20 days, and 777 pilots can qualify in as little as five days.

Montreal-based Mechtronix has long been showing how innovative technical approaches can deliver direct training ROI. Mark Dransfield, Senior Director Business Development said that LCoS projectors for visual cueing, gaming industrybased IG’s, and electric motion have become “the de-facto standard in the industry for FFS.” Mechtronix has opened a few eyes with its FFT X products with 3 DOF seat motion cueing,

year in review

illustrating the potential of less than full 6 DOF motion systems to deliver recurrent and type rating training. Mechtronix has been a growing player in the narrow body FFS market, from A320 and B737-800 through to devices that support the Multi-crew Pilots License (MPL) curriculums, and see themselves as the only supplier to cover the full range up to and including Level D FFS for MPL Phase IV. “We still see a strong demand in the primary training market and especially transition-to-jet FSTD (FNTP and FTD) platforms. More and more flying schools/FTOs prefer a jet configured training device to the traditional turboprop FSTD...” said Dransfield. With its emphasis on simulation, MPL is expected to help drive simulation sales, particularly with the larger FTOs. Industry stalwart Frasca International is also heavily involved in the transition to jet device segment, particularly in the US collegiate aviation market, recently announcing a Level 6 Phenom VLJ device order from Purdue.

And SimJET, based in Australia, is promising new efficiencies with its Fixed Base Training Devices (FBTD), aimed at bridging the perceived gap between procedural training devices and FFS. A somewhat larger player, Rockwell Collins, has invested heavily in entering the Level D FFS market with its “Edge” technology. Rockwell has now achieved Level D qualification for its B737NG at PAIFA in Miami, and its B737NG at CTC Aviation in the UK. Florida-based Opinicus Corporation is another member of the Level D capable “club” with over 20 years of both military and civil aviation experience.

Rules and Trends Last year we noted that in Europe the transition to EASA has not been easy - the EC did not consult with industry before adopting the Basic Regulations.

The NPAs relating to FCL and Flight Operations will be based on the JARs and are expected to become law in 2012.

Like the US, there is broad recognition of the need for proper stall and upset recovery training but some concern about how this will be financed by the carriers.

However, the International Committee for Aviation Training in Extended Envelopes (ICATEE) was formed in 2009 with the aim of enhancing training for upset 10

and loss of control events, which are now the primary cause of fatalities. The goal is to make recommendations to the regulators and ICAO in 2011 and there is little doubt that there will be a critical role for the Level D FFS (to become ICAO Type 7 in 2012) in addressing upset recovery training. And MPL continues to move forward in Europe with many major FTOs now holding approvals to meet the requirements.

There does remain an imbalance in installed simulator types between the US and Europe - many corporate aircraft simulation assets are only available on the American side of the pond.

However, FlightSafety International (FSI) remains a significant supplier of training for these aircraft types - and others, including regional aircraft - and in fact is the largest operator of simulators in the world, with 260 machines at 40 Learning Centers around the globe. Most of FSI’s simulator production is for its own Learning Centers, and in May the company announced that a new state of the art simulator design, manufacturing and support facility will be built in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

The FFS Unplugged The big regulatory news in the US is the flurry of activity in the wake of the Colgan accident. HR 5900 was passed

by congress in July, mandating an ATPL and 1500 hours of experience before being hired as an F/O in Part 121 operations. This controversial legislation also requires the FAA to implement new duty time rules, requires new hires to disclose more employment history, mandates carriers to conduct leadership and command training as well as establish pilot mentoring programs and remedial training.

Much of this enjoys broad based support, and some was already scheduled to arrive under other regulatory initiatives. But the 1500 hrs and ATPL requirement is controversial, because such a requirement does not guarantee proficiency. With the upcoming pilot demand issues, the profession risks becoming less attractive precisely when personnel shortages loom. Without the potential of securing a paying job after graduating from commercial flight training – some will have about 300 hours – aspiring aviators will be forced to stay in flight instructor or other roles longer, or simply not choose the aviation route.

The impact on flight training schools will be significant, and some allowance needs to be made for graduates of structured pilot training programs.

Without evidence that the new flight time rules will make a difference, there is concern about the impact to the airline industry, making hiring more difficult, and the industry less attractive.

While there will be a three year period for full implementation “...it interrupts the normal flow of new pilots into the business by setting a new, dramatically higher experience level” says Kit Darby of Kitdarby.com. “It will take time for current pilots in training to develop that experience.”

One of the most promising trends is the increasing attention being paid to Evidence Based Training and the use of safety data to drive training programs.

Using the high value simulator asset to directly attack real-world issues such as enhanced stall training – as opposed to the almost useless prescriptive “V-1 cut” - is becoming more prevalent, and is a critical component of initiatives designed to deal with actual training issues, and therefore lowering the accident rate. It may well be that the most important training trend in the next decade is to unleash the real potential of the full flight simulator. cat

THIRD PARTY TRAINING

W

ith a surprising number of new aircraft orders announced at this year’s Farnborough Airshow, new industry forecasts predicting the need for higher numbers of airliners, pilots and mechanics and more airlines reporting increases in revenue and passenger traffic, it’s beginning to look like the aviation industry may have turned the corner to economic recovery and growth.

Upward Trends Sherry Carbary, Vice President of Boeing Training & Flight Services, equates the numbers from Boeing’s new 2010 Current Market Outlook and Pilot Forecast as a reflection of recent trends that will positively impact third party training business. This year’s documents project much higher numbers of aircraft, pilots and mechanics needed worldwide during the next 20 years than last year’s editions.

“While there is some uncertainty depending on the region that you are looking at, our overall view is that the market is becoming more positive as the world is regaining its economic footing,” Carbary said. “We are seeing the passenger as well as cargo market increase and the yield improve for airlines. Overall, that means that the requirement for pilots and 12

mechanics is going to increase. The question is, how dramatically and how fast.”

Other third party training provider executives are also becoming optimistic about the future as well, based on the recent upturn in the marketplace for airlines.

“I’m pretty confident that there is the sun rising over the horizon, as one might say,” said Captain Chris Clarke, Chairman of the CTC Aviation Group. “Overall, we’re seeing a better picture than has been on the horizon over the past two years. There are significant signs for a growing need for pilot training and training services generally. “ Jan van Engelen, Regional Business Leader in Europe and Africa for CAE Simulation Products, Training and Services, reported that there are definitely signs of recovery. “We see airlines hiring pilots and taking new aircraft,” van Engelen said.

“We see growth and we see an increase in training requirements. Revenue is slowly picking up in our training centers, and that revenue can come from anywhere.”

According to FlightSafety International spokesperson Steve Phillips, over the past few months the company has seen a slight uptake in regional airline and business aviation training, with recurrent training business “holding its own.”

“We are very positive and in the process of preparing for a return to business,” Phillips said. “We are taking an approach of cautious optimism.”

Petri Louhivuori, Head of Sales for Finnair Flight Academy, feels that pilot training is showing slight signs of improvement.

“Nothing drastic has occurred, but I am positive,” Louhivuori said.” I believe that the next six months will show whether this feeling is true and to what extent the possible improved performance of airlines will reflect into training. Better airline performance, does this mean they are less in the red or are they coming above ‘water level’? That I believe remains to be seen.”

Rick Brown, Manager of Pilot Training Services for Delta Air Lines, and Sales Manager Andy Frey reported that they have seen an uptake in proposals for Boeing 757-6, 737NG and Airbus A320 pilot training, especially over the last five months.

“We have seen more requests for initial training,” Brown pointed out. “Airlines are actually starting to park some of their older airplanes and are either bringing on additional aircraft from the same fleet type or in some cases introducing new fleet types into the mix, a more modern fleet type than they would have had.”

Opposite Boeing predicts a global need for more than 23,000 pilots annually over the next 20 years.

Third Party Trainers Optimistic About The Future Chuck Weirauch reviews the third party aviation training segment of the industry, which hopes to benefit from recent “good news” developments.

Pilot Shortage?

With the Boeing reports predicting that the world airline fleet will almost double over the next 20 years and a need for more than 23,000 pilots annually during that timeframe, the next logical question to ask is how the airlines and third party trainers are going to meet this challenge.

Carbary feels that the industry will see a pilot shortage start to emerge over the next two years, particularly in regions that traditionally do not have a natural pipeline of pilots, such as the military, and also do not have the mature infrastructure and development.

Clarke feels that a pilot shortage is

“a distinct possibility” in nine months to a year because of the continually rising costs of pilot training and the dwindling number of people who will be able to afford it. Coupled to this problem is the significant number of pilots that will be needed over the next 20 years, he pointed out. With such growth, the issue of pilot shortage will soon be back, van Engelen agreed.

Outsourcing As many airlines re-evaluate their business plans in light of the economic environment of the past two years, several have moved to outsource pilot training,

with others considering plans to do so.

According to the third party training sources polled, this trend is expected to continue in the future, especially for new airline startups and low-cost carriers (LCCs). Obviously an increasing trend towards more outsourcing of pilot training by airlines will be a boon to the third party training industry.

“With the startups, they typically would outsource their training, as they do not have an infrastructure to support their initial training,” van Engelen said. ‘We have worked with some to help design their training centers, for example. With airlines that are already mature,

we are having discussions about building training centers to serve third parties predominantly.”

“The major pattern that you are seeing is being led by the LCCs,’’ Clarke reported.

“Their business concept is to reduce risk, capital expenditures and administrative costs and concentrate on flying the airplane. Consequently, a very natural conclusion they come to is to outsource training. The trend is now for all new-start airlines to be in the LCC bracket, and as a result of that, the opportunity for third party and outsourced training are becoming greater and more popular.”

Carbary also reports seeing a trend for airlines to outsource their training as they re-examine their business models and challenge their business assumptions.

“Airlines are looking to see how they can become more operationally efficient, manage costs more effectively and grow,” Carbary explained. “They are now examining everything, and training is a big one.

We are seeing around the world, in developing countries as well as mature economies in all spectrums of business models, where they are truly looking at how to outsource. They don’t feel the need to own all the assets and control all the training.”

While airline mergers and consolidations are taking place more in the US than elsewhere, as far as the training providers polled are concerned the verdict is still out as to whether this trend will affect third party training business. According to Brown and Frey, the impact of consolidation on training depends more on each airline and the types of aircraft they fly.

For example, Delta and Northwest only had one common fleet type, the Boeing 757, when the two airlines merged.

Centralized Along with more outsourcing, another trend affecting third party trainers is for

airlines to move towards more centralized training at or closer to their operations centers. Some European airlines are arranging pilot training in that region rather than the traditional approach of sending them to the US for training, for example, even if the training itself may be more expensive there.

“We are seeing more business at our training centers outside of North America as more European operators do more training in Europe,” Phillips said. “We are seeing more opportunities in that region and less and less for them to come to the US for training. This trend is increasing steadily by 10 percent a year. Other customers are coming there from countries that we hadn’t seen before.”

Clarke reported that the appeal of centralized training has grown, especially for LCCs in particular as the costs of recurrent and refresher training “have become huge.”

“So where one can offer training on location, or partner with the airline to provide a small locally based training center are the ideal solutions for the airline,” Clarke said. “Usually the airlines will bear the slightly higher costs of such training because they are saving so much money by not having to send their pilots elsewhere.”

CAE has partnered with a number of airlines to develop training centers at their base of operations in the past and is currently having discussions with other airlines to establish such centers, van Engelen said.

“We are also in discussions with airlines that do have such a training center

about how they can make their training more efficient in terms of courseware and capabilities,” van Engelen pointed out. “They are looking at reducing their costs either by outsourcing their training centers or even for us to commercially exploit their training centers in terms of third party training.”

Single-source Training While all of the third party training providers polled feel that their responsibility is to not only improve training for their customers, they also want to help them manage costs and improve operational efficiencies as well. One way to do this is by becoming a single-source training provider for all their airline customer’s needs.

“We are seeing customers actually starting to look for what we would call a single-source training solution,” Carbary said. “This means partnering with someone who can do everything that they need. I think that you will continue to see that, especially now as they are really struggling to stay afloat. This is where a provider could be a broker and advisor for training, as well as develop courseware, deliver training and everything else.”

Such training organizations could even provide pilots. Through its Pilot Provisioning concept, CAE is able to provide a pool of cadets via its Global Academy. The company also maintains a database of screened and qualified senior pilots as well.

“As our airline partners come back with a requirement, we allow them to very quickly help our customers satisfy their needs to have qualified pilots to fly their aircraft,” van Engelen explained.

Tailored Yet another emerging third party training trend is to provide more tailored training to better meet customer needs and expectations. “’We are focused on more tailored, data-driven training solutions,” Carbary said. “Customers don’t want and should not expect the same course being trained year after year. The world is changing, and training has to adapt to these changes as well. We are moving from more of an academic-focused training to an operationally focused curriculum.

We are tailoring our courses to help our customers become more operationally efficient, such as fuel efficiency courses, for example.” cat

Pilot Training

Civil Aviation Training In Asia – Inspiring The Next Generation The huge diversity of cultures and the wide variation on the level of maturity of airline operations across Asia make any sweeping generalisation about the state of play of aviation training in the region very problematic, writes Chris Long.

T

he start point in reviewing the training requirements is to better understand the state of the aviation industry in the region. ICAO believes that, despite the financial downturn of 2008, exacerbated by the 2009 depression, economies of emerging countries including those in the Asia Pacific region, are expected to grow over the next 20 years. In China, the economy is expected to grow by 9.5% in 2010, spending by consumers is forecast to increase rapidly, over 8% per year, while in India, consumer expenditures are expected to grow at a rate close to 7% annually.

Thanks to a fast growing urbanisation rate, populations in Asia Pacific are showing an increased tendency to use air transport. While world passenger traffic is forecast to increase by 4.7% annually, the Asia Pacific region’s revenue-passenger kilometres is forecast to grow at an aver16

CAT MAGAZINE • ISSUE 4/2010

age annual rate of 6.3% between 2010 and 2030. The airlines whose main place of business is located in the Asia Pacific region have the strongest growth of all regions. Governments actively support their countries’ air transport infrastructures, in an effort to encourage economic growth. In China, the domestic traffic grew by a stunning 21% in 2009.

During the last 10 years, domestic traffic in Asia Pacific has more than doubled, thanks to economic growth and to the expansion of low cost carriers (LCC). LCCs already represent 14% of Asia Pacific’s total traffic and 60% of the region’s domestic traffic. The capacity of LCCs between Asia Pacific markets grew by 37% in 2008. LCC traffic among the region’s countries is forecast to increase by 10% a year over the next 20 years. Their objective is to capture the huge air travel markets represented by

increasing middle classes. In the region, the traffic growth will be fuelled by the emergence of medium and long haul routes. Whilst there is variation on that rate of growth, the example of China is particularly interesting. According to Asian aviation expert John Bent “the percentage of the population in China with sufficient funds to fly is escalating rapidly towards the total population of the USA”. Put that statement alongside the present count of airliners in China, some 1500, when compared to the 6000 that are operating in the USA, and there is a ready indication of the potential scale of the growth. Similar figures

are true of India, and whilst these two giants lead the pack, the trend elsewhere is to continue to build the numbers. In Indonesia, for instance, the large population is geographically dispersed, and air transport is frequently the most practical form of transport and is likely to remain so.

Growing Aircraft Fleet Figures from ICAO recognise that, as a consequence of traffic growth, Asia Pacific’s fleets are expected to grow fast between 2010 and 2030. For passenger aircraft, the region’s average annual growth is expected to be 5%, the strongest rate of all regions. The freighter aircraft fleet in Asia Pacific should increase by 5.3% annually, the second highest worldwide growth rate after the Middle East region.

Asia Pacific’s fleet (including all commercial air transport aircraft) is expected to increase from 7,614 aircraft today to 32,646 in 2030. The region’s fleet will grow from 12% of the total world fleet today to 22% in 2030.

needed to fly aircraft. In the view of ICAO the region will need to train over 10,000 new pilots a year to fly increasing numbers of aircraft and compensate for retirements. Between 2010 and 2030, Asia Pacific’s pilot population should increase from 50,344 (11% of the world total) to 229,676 (23% of the world total).

The key issue will be for the Asia Pacific countries to recruit, train and retain sufficient pilots. The title of this piece - “Inspiring the Next Generation” is a quote from Simon Wu, Director of Flight Operations for Hong Kong Airways, and he expresses his concern that recruiting so large a number of pilots is going to be very challenging because “with the booming economies and industries in the region, manpower resources are keenly contested commodities”. In a community where success is largely measured by financial achievement alone, the new reality of pay levels in the airline business is not immediately attractive to the brightest and best.

Training Pilot Demand With more aircraft, the region will need more qualified personnel. Pilots will be

The range of experience and scale of operation of airlines in the region is huge, reflecting as it does as great

a diversity as any population on the planet. There are world-leading airlines who show the way on a global scale, and those who operate in economic and regulatory poverty. Classifying these airlines is not easy, but Cor Blokzijl of Mandala Airlines based in Indonesia suggests that there are three broad categories of airlines and their associated training systems. The first group is composed of the major airlines with training programmes based on either FAA or EurOps (JAA) and which work closely with the manufacturers training guidelines. These airlines are frequently at the leading edge and are often the first in the world to adapt to new technology and regulation. The second group have certified training programmes based on local standards, and training is conducted in TRTOs comparable with those of FAA or EurOps. Sometimes, however, these airlines lag a little in the most recent standards and consequently on occasion come under scrutiny of FAA or EU safety bodies and can become subject to airspace bans. The third group is the airlines which train locally to local standards. They frequently run under “grandfather” rights and therefore often

Pilot Training

use equipment and training not well suited to present needs. In addition, such airlines regularly regard previous military experience as a qualification for flying and managerial competence when experience elsewhere has shown that there is little correlation between military performance and the demands of present day civil aviation. This is particularly true in the field of good CRM practice and the adoption of Safety Management Systems (SMS) culture.

Symptomatic of the issues which can arise there is also a concern that in some airlines which are driven without a safety culture in mind, best practice can be sorely lacking. If, for instance, a 6-monthly simulator check for First Officers is not required by the NAA, then first of all the FO does not get that critical training, but in addition the simulator check is run with two captains on the flight deck – again not ideal from a CRM point of view.

Regulatory Issues As with other disciplines in aviation, the regulations and the regulators need to move forward to adapt to the latest advances. This is no better illustrated than by the view of the Hong Kong CAD as expressed by Simon Chean. Taking the initial spur of the ICAO Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme which requires that regulators oversee the implementation of SMS, he is very clear that formal training is required for regulators, and that the overreaching aim at the moment is to emphasise and

reinforce training in SMS and its company-wide culture. The training of regulators in this critical discipline should be through adopting a formal approach, and could perhaps be best addressed through ICAO and NAAs establishing specific training courses, the completion of which would become a formal qualification for regulators.

He believes that “regulatory training improvements can ensure uniform application of ICAO requirements and minimize the differences in safety oversight requirements applying in the industry”.

BERLIN.

Evolution in Training The leading training providers in the region have not been slow to react to the latest developments in regulation and technology in training. In some ways the relatively low throughput of some of the legacy training systems in terms of scale and capability has made this process easier – not so much a question of refurbishing existing systems, but rather being able to start with a greenfield solution. As Kevin Speed, Regional Leader Asia for CAE says “last fiscal year, roughly half of all new completed simulator sales worldwide were in the Asia region... the growth in pilot needs across Asia has created a situation where more low-experience pilots are training for First Officer positions.

D-TRTO 1.087 (JAA)

As the industry transitions towards more competency-based training programmes, rather than hours-based programmes, we believe that a structured training programme that blends theoretical knowledge with focused high-fidelity simulation and relevant aircraft experience can provide the skills and decisionmaking judgement necessary to fly today’s advanced commercial aircraft. An example of such a training package is in ab initio training where “we are also midway through the first CAE Multi-crew Pilot Licence (MPL) beta programme with sponsoring airline AirAsia, and anticipate further MPL programmes in the near future”.

Caution – and Optimism John Bent again “taken as a whole, the local Asia pilot training market will become quite stressed. In an industry already concerned about the relationship between training and operational safety, as well as rapidly declining experience levels on flight decks, the training supply-demand mix is unhealthy, and may spawn a further rise in accident rates. The inevitable fixes will be reactive, and quality of training process will become subsumed by rate and volume of delivery, as usual”.

A strategic view by Nassima Hamza, Business Development Manager at Thales, notes some key points which give cause for optimism. The overreaching characteristic in the region is that, in marked contrast to the short term view so often forced on organisations in the west through economic constraints and concerns about future growth, in Asia a long term strategy for training is emerging, triggered by the predicted continuous expansion. Inevitably that can mean some short term financial pain, but aviation is generally seen to be so critical to continuing development and independence that there is support at national level to build and sustain robust training systems.

Many of the NAAs are keen to rapidly adopt new international standards and frequently lead the world with their introduction. The scale and rapidity of the introduction of new technology and methodologies as evinced by the simulator deliveries shows that vision being turned into reality. The wish in Asia is for countries to own their training identity, and to move away from dependence on external sources. In fact the move is not only to look for self sufficiency, but also eventually to realise the long term goal of becoming training providers not only to the region but, perhaps in the long term to the global market. That is a paradigm shift, but, given the massive investment presently underway in training in the region, one that should be considered seriously.

As the aviation industry picks itself up from the recent economic difficulties it is well recognised that there is still room for significant growth. Huge aircraft orders from the Gulf region over the last few years perhaps indicate that the immediate growth there is already being catered for – but the region with the greatest potential for even more expansion is Asia. Without doubt there are significant concerns as to how the training to match that growth is carried out, but by the same token there has already been huge progress in the establishment of modern, credible and robust training processes. It may be that hitherto the region has looked for guidance from historic sources of competence, but it will surely not be long before the rest of the world is looking hard at the major players in Asia in order, perhaps, to adopt approaches which originate in that part of the world. cat

Maintenance Training

Filling the Bill Trainers and manufacturers of training devices are finding more economic and efficient ways to train aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs). Robert W. Moorman reports.

Q

uestion: What do commercial airline pilots and AMTs have in common? Answer: There isn’t enough of either. Like its counterparts in the cockpit, the global aviation maintenance industry is facing a critical shortage of experienced AMTs to support the present and future fleet of airlines worldwide. How many AMTs are needed, and how critical is the need, remains a source of debate.

To meet this challenge of providing AMTs to service new, more complex aircraft, and still remain viable in a very competitive, cost-conscience environment, trainers need to modify their training methodology to be able to train AMTs smarter, faster and cheaper.

Training Methods One solution would be to apply “learnby-doing training methodology supported by virtual technologies to provide 20

CAT MAGAZINE • ISSUE 4/2010

the maximum exposure to skills required on the line,” said Michele Asmar, director of delivery services for Montreal-based CAE. That methodology would encompass ab initio and initial type instruction to specialized and refresher training. To replace AMTs retiring, and to handle the projected growth in the years to come, several related challenges will also have to be met, including finding the necessary capital to train under tighter training budgets. MROs need to make their operations more efficient through the use of LEAN and other process improvements, thereby freeing up the funding needed to train additional AMTs. They also must familiarize themselves with new time and cost reducing training technologies.

The shift from the traditional 2-step approach of obtaining knowledge through a “chalk and talk” format into higher-end simulators to a virtual environment from the outset is an emerging

trend. The change blends knowledge and skills throughout the curriculum, then advances to the mid-level by using easily accessible and cost-effective maintenance training devices.

Virtual Environments Another training trend that continues to evolve is the use of high-speed Internet and easy-to-use virtual training tools.

Aircraft-specific portable simulations and virtual aircraft visualization tools as well as 2D and 3D aircraft component models are fast becoming commonplace in training. The use of integrated training tools, from the desktop trainer to

the Level D full flight simulator can help expedite AMT training and save training costs over the long run, according to several training experts.

Generic troubleshooting and diagnostic testing tools have been enhanced and aid in AMT training and have the added benefit of tracking, evaluating and providing feedback to trainers and trainees. 2D visualization tools help identify serviceable components and run prescribed procedures, and 3D aircraft component models help train AMTs on construction and interaction of parts, run-through and safety procedures and gain familiarization with specialty tools.

Instructor-led simulation-based classroom training is still an integral part of the aircraft-specific simulation training for AMTs. “Interactive software materials, good video presentations and computer-based training that can enhance the chalk-andtalk teaching is very valuable for today’s engineering [AMT] training,” said Paul Swain, technical training manager for Flybe, a large British European regional airline.

Laurent Dussillois, graphics and media manager for Snecma, part of the

Safran Group said today’s training of AMTs of engines must include high resolution graphics, 2D and 3D animations, movies, texts and even story boards.

Electronic Performance Support (EPS) tools with virtual environments are a technology gaining popularity among AMTs to gain access online to documents and aircraft maintenance schedules. EPS tools also reduce the reliance on aircraft for continuous training, which provides a significant dollar saving to the airlines. Distance learning is playing a larger role in AMT training, in part, because of the huge savings customers can derive, and because airlines are no longer wary of the effectiveness of the Internet as a viable training tool.

Training Model The single most significant development in AMT training in the last decade is the move toward “a competency-based training system versus an hour of theoretical-based system,” Asmar said.

At present, the regulations don’t clearly outline the difference. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and various regu-

lators are trying to develop a training model for competency-based training.

But with cost being the driver of everything these days, pushing the higher standard is a tough sell. “If we believe a program should be four or five weeks, and the regulations are slack and say three weeks is good enough, the customers often take the three week program,” said Asmar.

While some regulatory bodies have yet to fully embrace competency-based training, the methodology is becoming fairly typical among training providers.

From the first to the last day of the Airbus Competency Training program (ACT) Airbus utilizes “less theory” and “more practice” using available technology, said Frank Johnson, manager of maintenance training for Airbus Americas Customer Services, Inc., in Miami.

The training programs are driven in real time in “operational scenarios or on the line,” he added. The ACT package for AMT training includes the ACT Training, and Virtual Aircraft, which allow trainees Production File to perform complete maintenance tasks 09.

training to which Airbus is committed — active versus passive learning. “Airbus is using input from industry sources that allows it to use the ACT trainer and a virtual aircraft in the electronic age,” he said.

Airbus mobile AMT training crews can fly with the aircraft being delivered, then assist in getting the aircraft type certified. The team then helps develop the maintenance training programs on the aircraft. Airbus recently completed an AMT training project for São Paulo, Brazil-based TAM Linhas Aéreas (TAM Airlines). The program, which trained more than 70 AMTs, consisted of six consecutive line maintenance courses, each 25 days long.

“You will see much more mobile training for mechanics than pilots,” Asmar said. “It is not just about providing cost effective training. It’s about providing just-in-time training, obtaining operational information as required.” competency-based training If is the new fuel, then harmonization of AMT training worldwide is the engine.

classes,” Johnson said. “These maintenance organizations want me to verify our course content because their airline customers are regulated by EASA, which wants to verify our level of training before they will award contracts.”

Today’s aircraft systems are so integrated and interconnected by IT systems that “we don’t need a pure mechanic anymore,” said Holger Beck, chief operating officer for Lufthansa Technical Training. “We need a fully-fledged technician

that has a clear view of the mechanical up to the avionics systems.”

When fly-by wire, and sophisticated IT systems became the norm, pilots were compelled to also become systems managers. AMTs are today faced with the same dilemma,” said Beck. Troubleshooting problems on today’s sophisticated aircraft is another challenge to AMTs. To be effective, AMTs now have to rely heavily on supporting IT systems to get the job done, Beck added.

Another major change in AMT training, he said, is the role of the instructor.

The instructor has gone from the primary source of instruction to the facilitator of the overall training program, which includes numerous software and hardware training aids.

The new airliners coming to market help AMTs, but also create challenges.

New aircraft, such as the Boeing 787, have highly developed internal fault systems, which notify personnel on the ground of maintenance problems. For training purposes, these internal fault systems are also built into the simulators and procedures trainers. But that begs the question: Do trainers teach AMTs about all faults found?

“We’re not going to teach the mechanic about every single fault,” Asmar said. We’re going to help mechanics understand the tools that will help them figure out what and where the faults are.”

ter M601 turboprop engine. The single largest application on the engine is agriculture, followed by the Raytheon King Air 90, which has the 601E. Tim Myers, manager, CTEC, said CTEC has trained about 30 people on the engine. In other developments, GE will soon launch an engine test cell simulator at CTEC. The simulator will be used to train AMTs on the GE90-115B initially. It will allow students to come to CTEC and be trained in the operation of engine test cells. GE’s new state-of-the-art training center in Qatar will open this year, said Myers, and airlines from Asia and Africa have signed up for AMT training on the GE9 0-1B engine.

Lufthansa Technical Training has enhanced its training operations considerably over the last year. Last year, CAT wrote about the A380 desktop trainer for AMTs, now LTT has expanded the technology offering to the Airbus A330/340/320 and the Boeing 747-400.

LTT is providing a fully integrated maintenance-training program for the A320, and plans are to offer the same for the A330/340 by the fourth quarter. In what might be considered retroinstruction, LTT decided not to replace all-paper training manuals for AMTs with electronic versions. “We still have a lot of AMTs that prefer the printed manual,” said Holger Beck, COO of LTT,

Developments Several developments have occurred in the last year at companies providing training equipment and solutions.

Since CAT last visited, Abaris Training Resources, a leader in composite training, has added two new engineering classes, one for advanced structures analysis and one on advanced repair design. It has also added a course for managers, who wish to learn more about composite materials and processes.

GE’s Customer Technical Education Center (CTEC) has begun providing service training for Cargolux AMTs on the GEnx-2B power plant for the new Boeing 747-8 Freighter. The training is a combination of line maintenance, fan/stator split, engine and installation training, plus borescope inspection instruction.

Last April, CTEC began offering line maintenance training on the Wal-

which conducts 22,000 hours of training annually from 14 different training sites worldwide. LTT has created a quick reference handbook for old-school-preferring AMTs, in addition to the electronic version. An apt example of the “blended training approach” to AMT training, said Beck.

Flybe Training Academy, the training arm of the same named airline, provides B1 and B2 type maintenance training on the Bombardier Aerospace CRJ 100/200/700/900, Q400, Dash 8-100/200/300, Embraer 135/145/170/190, ATR 42/72, and the Avro 146. Flybe operates the Q400 and Embraer 190, yet maintains aircraft for numerous airlines.

In addition to providing type training, Flybe provides familiarization, human factors, fuel safety and Electrical Wiring Interconnect System (EWIS) training. EWIS training was mandated by regulatory authorities following the 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800, which exploded and crashed off Long Island, and Swiss Air Flight 111, which crashed in 1998 off the coast of Nova Scotia. Faulty wiring in fuel tanks was considered a factor in both accidents.

Flybe trains approximately 250 AMTs in type training annually, not including specialty training.

A contract to train AMTs on a host of Pratt & Whitney Canada’s (P&WC) engines is by far “the biggest news this year” for FlightSafety International (FSI),” said Mike Lee, director of maintenance training business development. Beginning January 1, 2011, FSI will begin training AMTs at its North American maintenance training facilities in Montreal, Hawker-Beech centers in Wichita, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Toronto and West Palm Beach. FSI also will train AMTs in Paris, China, Singapore, Australia, South Africa and Brazil.

Lee said the partnership would require its facilities to be significantly expanded. The Montreal center, where much of the training is expected to take place, will get a “complete renovation,” said Lee.

A major breakthrough in simulation. No matter how you look at it.

Antycip Simulation and DiSTI have teamed up to provide virtual maintenance training packages for military and civil sectors. To enhance maintenance training, Antycip is investing in tactile tables and giant touch walls. “Commercial aircraft manufactures are starting to adopt the virtual maintenance technology that was pioneered by the US Military,” said DiSTI CEO Joe Swinski. “We’ve already seen other commercial industries including power generation and the automotive industries adopt this technology.” DiSTI has contracted directly with OEM’s on numerous successful projects. The company is actively working with rotary and fixed wing aircraft OEM’s, which see a competitive advantage in having 3D interactive training materials produced for consumption by their customers. Antycip, which represents DiSTI in Europe, would like to provide AMTs with a virtual training offering for the Airbus A400M utility aircraft, the Eurofighter and civil airliners.

CAE announced at the 2010 Farnborough Airshow that it would provide a range of products and support services to operators of ATR aircraft. Both the training provider and OEM will collaborate on deploying simulation equipment and training programs at their customer training centers worldwide.

With the worldwide economy improving, and orders for new aircraft increasing, the need for highly trained AMTs is expected to increase appreciably in the years to come. Boeing anticipates a market of 30,900 new commercial passenger and freighter airplanes over the next 20 years, while Embraer forecasts global demand for 6,875 jets in the 30-120-seat segment over two decades. If their prognostications prove correct, this would be welcome news to those needing AMTs and those that train them. cat

Cabin Crew Training

Cabin Training Review Changes in service standards, workforce reductions, regulatory change, and ever present security issues are concerns for flight attendants around the world. Fiona Greenyer provides a summary of today’s cabin crew training technologies and techniques.

T

he world of the cabin crew is a busy one. The 21st century cabin crew is a front line aviation professional who must balance the needs of the passengers with the processes and procedures required to keep them safe under all circumstances. Many cabin crew will never experience a real emergency, but that doesn’t make the training they receive any less vital.

Disruptive Passengers Disruptive passengers have long been a problem that flight attendants have had to deal with while on board the aircraft.

In 2009 Transport Canada introduced new regulations aimed at reducing the incidence of interference with a crew member. The broad reaching regulations addressed statements or actions that may distract a crew member from their safety responsibilities, made by a person onboard or about to board an aircraft.

26

CAT MAGAZINE • ISSUE 4/2010

Because of this broad reach, the associated required training must be delivered to all “operational personnel”, including crew members, gate/check-in staff, and their immediate supervisors.

Canadian air operators set about the challenge of developing new procedures in time for the 2009 deadline, and planning the training required in 2010. These important new initiatives represented an increased pressure on the industry, particularly during a time that many are still recovering from revenue shortfalls and staff reductions, not only to research and develop the new training, but also to design the best use of resources in its delivery.

As a means to alleviate these pressures, the Inflight Institute introduced a unique online training program entitled ‘In Our Customers Shoes’. The purpose of the training is two-fold. The regulatory requirements of training under the

Interference regulations are met, while the principles of understanding why this behaviour may occur are seamlessly integrated throughout. Unprecedented multi-agency cooperation and behind-the-scenes aerodrome access allow the program’s dramatic multimedia presentation to engage and interact the learner as they follow both a customer and a crew member from the start of their day through to the completion of their journey. At the close of each video clip, the online learner is offered a series of options to address the challenges presented within the scenario, and is then shown the result immediately as each decision is made

which either increases or decreases the anxiety of the character.

Lesson text on regulatory requirements and operational procedures support the program’s media, as does a recap exam at the course’s completion, the results of which are maintained with the operator’s training records. With an average running time of three hours, the efficiency of the program allows operators to save on financial and human resources (instruction personnel, travel, per diems, facilities), while allowing the learner the freedom of training in the comfort of their own home.

UK-based SecuriCare has been working with the airline industry since 1996 and specialises in the management of disruptive passengers. The company has developed a complete strategy that is specifically designed to meet the challenge of preventing and managing disruptive behaviour. All courses are designed to be interactive, engaging, and encourage the crew to input and share their own experiences. Scenario-based exercises allow them to put into practice, in a controlled environment, the skills they have learnt.

The training comprises of three modules progressively working through ever more disruptive scenarios and the best means for cabin crew to manage and stabilise situations. The interactive course is designed to encourage a progressive team approach to managing disruptive passenger behaviour.

Crews are also taught how to respond to physical provocation which covers incident awareness and management, initial approach/response, and positive body language techniques. It also includes skills designed to help a member of staff to reduce the risk of escalation during the intial stages of physical provocation.

“The last resort is to restrain the passenger” said Adrian Pannett, Director, SecuriCare. But if the situation requires restraint, SecuriCare’s restraint kits are designed to be effectively and simply used. The straps are designed like aircraft seatbelts as it is what the crews recognize and can use easily in a stressful situation. The Seat Restraint Kit secures the passenger to the seat and prevents them from posing any further threat to the safety of the aircraft, its crew, or other passengers for the remainder of the flight.

Contracts Business has been brisk for many of the manufacturers of cabin crew training equipment. Superjet International Training Center is now ready to provide the first type training course for cabin crew for the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft. The CEET (cabin emergency evacuation trainer) will be available at the SJI Training Center located in Tessera-Venice, Italy by the end of July. The trainer accurately reproduces a section of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 design in terms of features and size. The device will be used to train flight attendants and pilots in CRM, as a door trainer, and normal and emergency flight procedures. The system simulates several anomalies including door jam, door handle locking and slide inflation failure. Simulation of hidden fire/blaze is provided with six smoke and fire generators. The simulator is placed on a tilting platform support which supports emergency evacuation with nose landing gear or one of the main landing gear collapse.

EADS RST has been developing cabin crew training devices since 2000, and more than 40 simulators have been delivered worldwide, but never to Russia. Last year, RST won their first Russian contract, with the Aviation Training Centre (ATC) in St. Petersburg. The contract was for an Airbus A320 door trainer to be equipped with part of a cabin and passenger seats to ensure the training of different evacuation scenarios in realistic surroundings. Based on good cooperation and coordination between both partners, the door trainer was installed in the St. Petersburg training centre just five months after the contract signing.

In the Middle East, Oman Air has awarded a $2.6 million contract to Spatial Composite Solutions, the Dubai-based manufacturer of crew training equipment, for two new cabin crew safety trainers. Under the contract, Spatial will design and build A330-300 and B737NG emergency evacuation trainers which will be installed at Oman Air’s new Aviation Crew Training facility at Muscat International Airport. Delivery is scheduled for October 2010.

“These devices are equipped with the latest cabin training technology and will provide our growing team of cabin staff with the best environment in which to hone their safety training skills. We look forward to receiving our new train-

ers including the flagship A330-300 later this year,” said Peter Hill, chief executive officer, Oman Air. Founded in 2007, Spatial Composite Solutions is the only specialist manufacturer of crew training equipment in the Middle East. Virtually all components used in the construction are manufactured in the company’s Jebel Ali factory.

One company at the forefront of aviation safety and cabin training is Aviation Australia. Widely known for its EASA/CASA/ HKAR approved Aircraft Maintenance Engineer training, the Brisbane-based organisation also operates the only independent fully equipped cabin crew training centre in Australasia in order to provide pre-trained cabin crew to airlines and recurrent Emergency Procedures training capability to industry.

While its facility already contained a variety of evacuation trainers, Aviation Australia recently added a custom built widebody cabin simulator to ensure that service and evacuation training across the full scope of aircraft types could be offered. The new high-tech device compliments the full cabin B737 and EMB 190 trainers, numerous door trainers, escape slides, rafts and a water survival facility (with HUET capability).

Completed in 2010 and with ongoing upgrades, the new B777/A330 simulator presents Aviation Australia’s cabin crew trainees and client airlines the opportunity to use a fully capable high-tech simulator that offers two class seating, fire/smoke simulation, infrared and multi-angle conventional DV cameras with dispersed microphones, DV recorders, deployable oxygen masks, fully fitted out lavatories, galleys and even a crown crew rest access. Under the watchful eye of Aviation Australia’s experienced instructors, cabin crew can explore the full range of scenarios aboard an authentically appointed wide-body aircraft

English for Cabin Crew is an essential course for those preparing for a career as a cabin crew member. It is equally suitable for those already working in the industry who need to improve their communication skills when carrying out their pre and in-flight responsibilities.

English for Cabin Crew is a comprehensive course designed to: Improve fluency and pronunciation Build key vocabulary and expressions Develop listening skills Ideal for self-study or for one-to-one or group teaching.

in the most realistic environment possible, so if the time comes, they are ready and prepared for any kind of emergency.

Communication CRM encompasses a wide range of knowledge, skills and attitudes including communication, situational awareness, problem solving, decision making, and teamwork. The importance of good communications between the flight deck and cabin crews has long been recognised as a vital element to a safe environment, and it is an area of training that is regularly improved upon and studied.

With what seems to be constantly changing working conditions, good communications become ever more vital. One study that has been done in this area is by Lori J. Brown of Western Michigan University, and the results were presented at the World Aviation Training Conference and Tradeshow (WATS) in Florida earlier this year.

“Gaps in effective communication, can lead to loss of life, or create a communication gap that could impede the information transfer to the pilots,” she said during her presentation ‘Both Sides of the Cockpit Door: A Global Study’. Funded by Western Michigan University, the survey looks at pilot/flight attendant communication and joint training issues, and is to be published in the FAA International Journal of Applied Aviation Studies.

The study identified barriers which may leave flight attendants and pilots feeling isolated and may impede effective communication. These can include inadequate briefing, no introductions, poor morale, fatigue, lack of scenario-based CRM training, or misunderstanding of the sterile cockpit rule.

Out of 224 flight attendants sampled, 55% reported that they have been hesitant to report a problem and 16% indicated that they have had a situation where they did not report a problem and did not inform the flight deck, because they thought they already knew. Out of the 51 pilots sampled, 57% indicated they have noticed that flight attendants may be hesitant to report a problem due to misunderstanding of the sterile cockpit rule, or other reason.

The survey results indicated that gender has the potential to impede or influence flight attendant/pilot communication. Asked to select the areas of training that they felt were lacking for pilots and flight attendants, the results showed fatigue recognition and countermeasure training as the most popular response, followed by joint CRM training, joint pilot/flight attendant security training and scenario based security training. 79% of respondents reported that they thought it would be beneficial for flight attendants and Federal Air Marshals to do their training together.

The conclusion that Brown and her team found in the study was that it was doubtful that fortress door or secondary barriers will be removed from US airlines, and communication gaps surrounding these post 9/11 changes can be lessened with the application of possible remedies.

“Crew Orientated Flight Training (COFT), training development and scheduling may not be realistic for all carriers in these lean economic times, but improvement of sterile cockpit training, and improved crew briefings are both viable and crucial,” concluded Brown.

Coordination of the flight deck and cabin crew has never been more challenging, and as Brown noted, “let us not forget the possible effects of airline mergers on communication and crew coordination.” One issue among many that will continue to be discussed throughout the next year. cat

MRJ Exclusive CAE is Mitsubishi Regional Jet Exclusive Training Provider

ATR and CAE Sign Master Agreement CAE developing world’s first ATR42/72-600 full-flight simulator

CAE will develop and deliver a comprehensive training solution for the new Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ) -- including a 10-year Exclusive Training Provider program and establishment of two training centres initially in the Tokyo, Japan area and the central United States -- under an agreement with Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation (MJET).

In support of the agreement, CAE is expanding its training network and developing the world’s first two MRJ full-flight simulators (FFS) as well as CAE Simfinity™ integrated procedures trainers. CAE will also design curriculum and courseware, and provide CAE training for pilots, maintenance technicians, cabin crew, dispatchers and ground support personnel.

“The comprehensive scope of the MRJ Exclusive Training Provider program showcases the unique breadth of CAE’s simulation and training capabilities,” said Jeff Roberts, CAE’s Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services. “The MRJ training program includes a complete courseware solution, a suite of high-fidelity flight simulation training devices, training for the full complement of aviation professionals who will operate and service the aircraft, and CAE’s demonstrated ability to collaborate successfully with OEMs and training partners.”

The MRJ is a family of 70- to 90-seat next-generation jets which will offer top-class operational economy and outstanding cabin comfort. The 70-90 seat MRJ is planned to enter service in 2014 with launch customer All Nippon Airways (ANA).

Hideo Egawa, President of MJET, stated, “We concluded that CAE, with its vast experience, human resources and proven capabilities, would be our best partner for training. We’re confident that working in collaboration with CAE, we will be able to provide our customers with the best training one could ask for.”

Flexible Solutions for Dynamic Airline Business Models Jeff Roberts, Group President Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services

There are many paths to becoming a professional airline pilot.

The primary route for many years had been through the military, where a pilot received highly focused, immersive training and practical experience. But the number of ex-military pilots available to the commercial air transport industry continues to diminish.

Another route has been to gradually accumulate licenses, type ratings and flight hours over several years – often at multiple flight schools with varying teaching techniques – then hopefully get hired at an airline. The new-hire pilot then goes through the airline’s own training program to become familiar with operating procedures. In some regions, airlines have undertaken their own dedicated ab initio and type rating pilot pipelines.

At CAE, we believe structured, integrated training which applies instructional best practices will produce highly qualified professional airline pilots through an efficient end-to-end process. That’s why we have built global networks of ab initio flight schools and type rating training centres.

Together with CAE’s world-leading simulation technology, our comprehensive portfolio enables our customers to tailor training programs to their unique business model … and adapt as they grow to address the dynamic air travel market.

Vietnam Airlines is a prime example of how one customer is leveraging CAE’s range of capabilities. For several years, Vietnam Airlines has sent pilots to CAE training centres in Zhuhai and Singapore for initial

and recurrent type ratings. Recently, the airline undertook a rigorous process for developing their own training centre in Ho Chi Minh City.

They analyzed their overall training needs in detail, determined which components made the most sense to bring in-house and which to secure through qualified partners, and then toured facilities around the world for conversations with training experts. We are very pleased that Vietnam chose CAE to build their first full-flight simulator Until their centre is ready and operational, Vietnam Airlines pilots will continue to train with CAE in Zhuhai and Singapore, and soon in Kuala Lumpur as well. And in addition, they are sending ab initio cadets to the CAE Global Academy.

China Southern Airlines has been CAE’s joint venture partner at our type rating training centre in Zhuhai. In addition to supplying the airline’s needs, the centre offers third-party training to other operators of various Airbus, Boeing and Embraer aircraft. Earlier this year, the airline and CAE announced another JV – the China Southern Western Australia Flying College in Perth, the 11th member of the CAE Global Academy. Cadets who graduate from Perth will proceed to the Zhuhai training centre for type rating training, then become eligible to be hired as line pilots.

Structured … focused … integrated … end-to-end. Only CAE can provide any or all of an airline’s pilot recruitment and training needs from a single, capable and credible company.

Let’s have a conversation about your airline’s pilot development and training needs.

Accelerating Prototype Aircraft Development – CSeries A “virtual aircraft” developed in CAE’s Augmented Engineering Environment (AEE) will help Bombardier Aerospace to reduce its development schedule and risk for the new CSeries 100- to 149-seat class aircraft, expected to enter service in 2013.

CAE is providing a comprehensive suite of products, engineering services and simulation-based technology tools to support the design, testing and certification of the CSeries platform as part of Bombardier’s Complete Integrated Aircraft Systems Test Aircraft (CIASTA) program.

CAE has already delivered a host networking computer system designed to run the systems simulation models.

An engineering development simulator is to be delivered next spring, including a complete flightdeck environment with a visual system similar to a full-flight simulator. The engineering simulator will provide a “synthetic aircraft” interface that will help validate physical aircraft systems between the design freeze and prototype aircraft phases.

“CAE’s AEE provides a complete migration path from virtual aircraft to actual aircraft. It

starts at the concept stage, facilitates the design, verifies performance, shortens the testing, and supports the operation,” said Marc St-Hilaire, CAE Vice President of Core Technologies.

CAE will also design and deliver the prototype CAE 7000 Series full-flight simulator for the CSeries, as well as a full suite of CAE Simfinity™ training devices to support the aircraft entry-into-service and Bombardier flight and technical training. CAE will also provide Bombardier with engineering design and support services throughout the development phase of the aircraft program.

CAE Developing Training Suites for Boeing 787 As global airlines finalize their Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft delivery schedules and plan their training requirements, CAE is developing a comprehensive suite of training solutions. CAE 7000 Series full-flight simulators and other integrated training devices for the new aircraft are in production for Air New Zealand, Continental Airlines, Japan Airlines, and Qantas.

To date, CAE has won every Boeing 787 full-flight simulator contract directly competed by airlines. The CAE training solutions suite for the Boeing 787 also includes a CAE Simfinity™ desktop virtual simulator / virtual maintenance trainer (VSIM / VMT) and three types of CAE Simfinity™ flight training devices (FTDs): a Level 4 FTD based on the CAE Simfinity™ integrated procedures trainer, a Level 4-plus FTD with extended product package, and a Level 5 FTD. Customers have ordered more than 30 simulation devices.

It’s True …

• The first CAE 3000 Series helicopter mission simulator (an AS350 B2) has been FAA qualified for Level 7 training. It is located near Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona.

• A CAE Bell 412 full-mission simulator in Bangalore, India has been certified to Level D by India’s DGCA and EASA. • Saudi Arabia Airlines has ordered a CAE 7000 Series Airbus A330/340 convertible fullflight simulator and an enhanced CAE Simfinity™ Airbus Pilot Transition trainer.

• CAE has recently won orders for full-flight simulators in Asia from Korean Air, Lion Air, Malaysia Airlines, Mount Cook Airlines, Shanghai Eastern Flight Training Company (China Eastern Airlines), Skymark Airlines, and Vietnam Airlines.

Cadet-to-Captain Candidate selection … ab initio training … and type-rating training – all in a seamless, one-source, turnkey process for airline pilot provisioning As air traffic growth resumes, where will airlines get the well-qualified pilots to safely and efficiently fly expanding aircraft fleets and routes? Many airlines are turning to the extensive resources and experience of CAE to help address both near-term and future pilot requirements.

CAE’s pilot provisioning program is a onecompany solution that assists airlines in recruiting and identifying the best candidates, provides entry-level flight training focused on airline operating procedures, and delivers typerating training at conveniently located centres around the globe. In addition, CAE maintains a database of thousands of qualified captains and first officers who are prepared to quickly fill current flight deck needs.

Start with the ‘right stuff’ – Identifying the best candidates from hundreds or thousands of aspiring pilots is an essential first step toward successfully developing excellent airline crew members. The CAE Aircrew Selection System (CASS) uses advanced aviationspecific psychological and physical skills tests, as well as a structured interview process with trained observers, to help evaluators determine which candidates have the “thinking and doing” capabilities to perform under stressful conditions.

Global-standard entry-level training – With the recent addition of the China Southern West Australian Flying College in Perth, the CAE Global Academy network of ab initio flight schools now has the capacity to train 1,800 cadets a year. The CAE Global Academy has schools in Malaysia, India, Cameroon, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada, and the United States. The member flight schools are able to leverage CAE’s experience in training professional pilots across the spectrum –

commercial, business and general aviation, as well as the military. This translates into standardized best practices and a consistently high-quality graduate.

A truly global type rating network – CAE’s international network of 24 civil aviation training centres (and growing) enables training on more than 140 different aircraft models. In addition to the finest Level D full-flight simulators, expert instructional staff, and curricula tailored to each customer’s requirements, CAE training centres are renowned for their culture of service excellence.

The end-to-end trend – The CAE Multi-crew Pilot License (MPL) program uses each of these CAE cadet-to-captain capabilities – CASS candidate screening, the CAE Global Academy for core and basic phases, and CAE training centres for intermediate and advanced phases.

The 56-week beta program for sponsoring airline AirAsia recently passed its midway point, and the 12 cadets are all meeting or exceeding expectations.

Graduates of the CAE Global Academy in Perth will continue on for type rating at the joint venture training centre operated by China Southern Airlines and CAE in Zhuhai, China.

Vietnam Airlines recently announced they are sending cadets to the CAE Global Academy in Phoenix; the airline also trains pilots at CAE centres in Zhuhai and Singapore, and soon in Kuala Lumpur. (Plus they recently ordered a CAE Level D A320 full-flight simulator for their own new training centre.)

To date, more than 2000 CAE-trained pilots have been provisioned for IndiGo, Kingfisher, Jazzera, Wizz, Xiamen and other airlines.

World Full Flight Simulator Census – Analysis and Trends This year’s civil full flight simulator census contains more devices than ever before.

Ian Strachan takes an in-depth look at this segment of the market.

T

he tables show an increase in simulator numbers of 34 compared to those for 2009.

Looking further back, the increase since 2002 has been at an average of about 30 FFS per year. It should be pointed out at the outset that the exact numbers in the tables are unlikely to be the whole story, because it is inevitable that we will not have been notified of some new simulators, also of older simulators that have been retired.

The civil “levels” for Full Flight Simulators (FFS) that are accepted by most National civil Aviation regulatory Authorities (NAAs) worldwide are designated A-D, the latter being the highest. Looking first at motion platforms, levels A and B must have at least three degrees of freedom (DoF), C and D must have the full 6-DoF that can be achieved by a vehicle or object that is free to move in space, or in a fluid medium such as air or water.

For the out-the-window (OTW) visual scene, levels A and B must provide a field of view (FoV) of at least 45 x 30° per pilot, C and D at least 150° horizontally and at a distant focus (“collimation”). Level D has a number of refinements. These include a model of ground-effect for accurate simulation of takeoff & landing, accurate modelling of brakes & tyres for ground handling and the landing run, realistic cockpit sounds & noises, Mach effects, a windshear model, realistic control feel (correct resistance to movement of the primary flight controls), modelling of aeroelasticity effects (fuselage and wing bending), general non-linearities, selftest & print-outs. These are formidable requirements in terms of simulating reality, and explain why the Level D is qualified by Regulators for zero flight time (ZFT) conversions of already experienced pilots to new types. Finally, in about 2012, Level D will be renamed “Type 7” as part

of an ICAO rationalisation in which 27 previous categories of training device will be reduced to seven.

Looking now at the census tables, they contain only 34 Level A and 49 Level B, but 292 Level C and no less than 905 Level D simulators. The approximate cost of a new Level D is over 10 million Euros or US Dollars and the large numbers need some explanation. In the initial conversion and ongoing recurrency training of Commercial Air Transport (CAT) pilots, a Level D maximises what is allowed to be done on the simulator compared to using the aircraft. Also, using a CAT aircraft for training is very costly. At a conference at the Royal Aeronautical CAT MAGAZINE • ISSUE 4/2010

TRAINING TECHNOLOGY

Society in London, it was estimated that for a Boeing 747, using the aircraft for training was some 40 times more expensive than using a Level D simulator. This figure was based on the Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) of both vehicles rather than the initial purchase price, and also allowed for the consequences of using the aircraft for training. These include the fact that you cannot use many international airports for training because they are “maxed out” with revenue flights, aside from the undesirability of mixing training with passenger flights in congested airspace. Talking of revenue flights, an aircraft has to be removed from the revenue stream and deployed to a less-busy airfield that can accommodate training. It is not productive to take only one crew, and in the “old days” two or three crews would take an aircraft to another airfield so that the training exercises could take place, weather and aircraft serviceability permitting. Finally, during landing training some damage such as tyre bursts or worse can occur. So it can easily be seen how the costs of training in the aircraft can mount up. In contrast, a simulator sortie can be reliably scheduled well in advance, with minimal disturbance to

crew duty patterns. Flight simulators are often worked 16 hours out of the 24, and rarely become unserviceable to the extent that a sortie has to be cancelled. They are not weather-dependent, day sorties can be flown at night, and a takeoff at, say, Chicago O’Hare can be followed a few minutes later with an approach at Hong Kong Chep Lap Cok in entirely different weather conditions, time of day, or even the season of the year.

Looking first at the distribution of flight simulators by nation (Table 1), it is

no surprise that the USA is in the lead.

What may be unexpected is the large numbers in the USA compared to any other nation, 570 compared to the next country, the UK, with 81. The numbers for the UK reflect the popularity of the London area for siting simulator training centres to which pilots travel for recurrency

and other checks. These are owned not only by airlines such as BA but also by companies such as Boeing Training & Flight Services (ex Alteon), CAE and FlightSafety International (FSI). After the UK, other countries in order are China (including its Hong Kong region), then Germany, France, Canada and Japan, followed by 53 other nations with between one and 30 simulators.

Analysing the simulators in the USA by State, Texas and Florida have more simulators than any other country except the USA itself. This is because major simulator training centres are located in Dallas/Fort Worth in Texas and Miami and Orlando in Florida, emphasising the high simulator activity level in the USA. Generally, the distribution of Regulatory Authorities reflects the location of the simulators. Unsurprisingly the US FAA is in the lead with over 650 certificated simulators, followed by the European EASA (ex-JAA) with about 280, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) with 60, the Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) with 35, followed by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and Transport Canada (TC), then no less than 29 other NAAs. Turning to aircraft categories, there are about 940 simulators for 2-jet aircraft, 140 for twin-props, 110 for 4-jets, 70 for 3-jets, but we have been notified of only about 25 for civil rotary wing aircraft. Although the latter are expected to increase in the future, there is a much higher proportion of rotary in the 2010 MS&T census of military flight simulators (see MS&T 4/2010). Also, in the civil field there are many other rotary Flight Training Devices (FTDs) below Level A-D, typically with visuals but not the motion systems and other characteristics. Finally, a basic training helicopter is much less expensive than an airliner and so the cost balance is more in favour of using the aircraft for training rather than a Level D helicopter simulator.

In terms of aircraft manufacturers, there are about 520 simu-

lators for Boeing aircraft, followed by 280 for Airbus, 120 for Bombardier, 80 for Hawker Beechcraft and 75 for Cessna. There are between 30 and 50 simulators for aircraft by Embraer, Gulfstream and Dassault, and between one and 20 for aircraft from no less than 24 other manufacturers.

Turning now to simulator manufacturers, the major players are CAE of Montreal with 530 Full Flight Simulators, followed by 323 from FlightSafety and 300 from Thales. Then, a large drop in numbers to 44 from Link, 17 from the Tampa factory of CAE USA and 14 from Mechtronix in Montreal, Canada (not far from CAE’s factory in Dorval). There is then a sharp drop to six each

by Opinicus, Rockwell Collins and SimCom of the USA, five by Sim-Industries of the Netherlands and then four from ERA/Penza (Russia) and Frasca (USA), then Transas of Russia with three.

In terms of Initial Service Date (ISD), about 30% are from 2005 or later, 55% from 2000 and 70% from 1995. Only about 15% have ISDs before 1990, and many of these have been updated. So, although older simulators are still in use, most Full Flight Simulators are less than 10 years old, more recent than many of the airframes for which they are being used for training.

A Level D simulator must have a minimum of three Image Generator channels to achieve the field of view (FoV) required, but can have five channels or more. The three-channel layout with a cross-cockpit display is the most popular, some 73% of all Level C and D simulators having it. While on the subject of cross-cockpit displays, these are almost invariably fitted now in preference to an array of collimated monitors (“WAC Windows“). The focal distance of collimated simulator displays is set by the amount of vertical curvature on the mirror through which the pilots view the outside-world scene. Frequently a focal distance of between 100 and 200 metres is used rather than infinity. In the census tables, such displays are coded “3ch/3wCC” for the commonest layout, a three-channel three-window cross-cockpit mirror-based display.

Channels and windows relate to field of view, particularly in the horizontal. Level A and B simulators generally have 90 degrees horizontal view or less.

In Levels C and D, 448 simulators (35% of the total) have 150 degrees horizontal view, 598 (47%) have 180 degrees, and 168 (13%) between 200 and 225 degrees.

For helicopters, two extra display units are sometimes added below the main display system as “chin windows” to give downward view when hovering or flying at “nap of the earth” heights.

Looking at motion platforms, the Gough/Stewart six-jack design is used because the simulator cockpit can be placed on top of the platform, allowing

movements in all six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) without the need for swinging arms or suspension of the cockpit from above (as in some systems of the 1960s and 70s). Electric jacks are now replacing hydraulic and, as well as simplifying the overall platform design, allow faster response times, that is, smaller transport delays (“latency”). Criticism of the performance of some early motion platforms has led to considerable activity to improve the way that Acceleration Onset Cueing is implemented. Built-in Test Equipment (BITE) now ensures that motion and visual cueing is always correctly synchronised, and motion cueing algorithms have been developed further.

For instance, a system called “Lateral Manoeuvring Motion” (LM2) has been developed by the SABENA Academy.

Improved motion platform designs and cueing algorithms have been described in papers by experts in the field such as Dr Sunjoo Advani, and others. Developments have also come from the Motion Group of the International Working Group (IWG) of the Royal Aeronautical Society Flight Simulation Group (RAeS FSG), chaired by James Takats of the Opinicus Corporation. A recent development, is a motion-seat designed for Level D simulators produced by one of the existing motion seat providers for military simulators. This is to improve training for airliner “upset” and loss-ofcontrol events. These have now replaced Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) as the primary cause of fatalities in the Commercial Air Transport sector. As a result, the International Committee for Aviation Training in Extended Envelopes (ICATEE) was formed in 2009, with membership from Regulatory Authorities, airframe and simulator manufacturers and others in the field,with a view to making recommendations to Regulatory Authorities and ICAO in 2011 after a final meeting and open conference at the RAeS in London.

The census tables show how the airlines of the world have exploited modern simulation technology. In the civil field, it has long been recognised that simulation saves money in the long term because it is less costly than using the aircraft in a training mode. When Level D becomes the ICAO Type 7 in about 2012, further improvements in aspects such as motion cueing and the air traffic environment can be expected. cat CAT MAGAZINE • ISSUE 4/2010
