YEAR IN REVIEW

Gravitational Shift The global airline industry has simply seen everything this past decade. Economic downturn, surging oil prices, earthquakes, volcanoes, terrorism, and fear of pandemics. Air carriers spent the decade slashing costs, increasing fuel efficiencies and productivity; many old airline names disappeared entirely. Over the same decade, ever increasing aircraft and personnel demand forecasts, and advancing technologies remained a constant theme.

Game-changing new aircraft are being introduced – several from non-traditional regions – as well as dramatic new navigation and ATC technologies.Training regimes are evolving in an attempt to accommodate new demographic and regulatory realities. But industry margins remain very low, regulatory evolution is glacially slow, and we’d be hard pressed to point to jurisdictions where aviation policies were actually promoting the sector. Editor in Chief Chris Lehman takes a look at the industry over the past year.

ATA Director General and CEO Giovanni Bisignani in his recent State of the Industry address, said “After a decade of crisis and shocks, airlines today are safer, stronger, leaner and greener...profitability remains elusive. The challenge is to prepare to handle 16 billion passengers and 400 million tonnes of cargo by 2050 with efficient infrastructure and technology, while making sustainable profits and satisfying customer needs.”

Recovery from the recent recession has been impressive; 2010 was the best year in a decade, but new realities include $100-plus oil, being prepared for new shocks, and the fact that aviation’s center of gravity continues to move eastward.

With a net return of some 0.1 % over the past four decades, sustainable profitability is the biggest challenge. “We must break down silos in the value chain to rebalance financial reward with risks, and create a new value proposition so that competition is not just based on price. And governments must deliver policy decisions that replace intervention with commercial freedoms, reduce barriers to exit, and allow airlines to restructure like normal businesses,” said Bisignani. The outgoing Director General pointed to several areas of unfinished business: hassle-laden and costly security procedures (costing $7.4 billion annually), the need for the commerciali-

sation of bio fuels at competitive prices, the need to abandon European plans to include aviation in its Emissions Trading Scheme by 2012, and for national governments to stop their punitive taxation of the sector. Bisignani hit the nail on the head when he said “Governments need a textbook on aviation’s role as an economic catalyst.”

Staying Safe The year 2010 was one of the best years in aviation’s history in terms of safety but there remain significant concerns, including enormous regional differences.

still rely on regulations to enforce a minimum standard floor. These carriers must move towards proactive safety management, going beyond mere compliance of stated minimum standards, and most importantly, adopt a corporate safety culture that starts on the executive floor and filters down to all levels. With information from flight operations data monitoring, a worldwide sharing of this data, and the injection of this information into training programs, including any neces-

sary FFS upgrades, it’s clear the tools and techniques are available and can be even more effective in the future. ICAO and IATA have been leading in the transmission of these messages, and the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) program is now a pre-requisite for IATA membership. Significantly, a new component of IOSA now includes a verification of carriers’ safety management systems.

uled and non-scheduled operations, jet and turboprop, including freight carriers, resulting in over 800 passenger and crew deaths. IATA stated that in 2010 the total global hull loss rate was 0.61, which is equal to one accident for every 1.6 million flights. This is an improvement over the 0.71 rate of 2009. When compared to the 10 year record, the accident rate has been cut by 42% since 2001, but runway excursions were again the most common cause of all accidents, not necessarily fatalities, and accounted for 21% of all occurrences.

As the accompanying figure illustrates, Africa again represents the worst rate in the world. African carriers represent 2% of global traffic, yet caused 23% of global western-built hull losses. On the other extreme, IATA member operators based in Europe and North America recorded zero passenger and crew fatalities in 2010.

Several speakers at the recent WATS conference pointed out that while the safety improvements over past decades have been remarkable, when today’s relatively stagnant safety statistics are applied to projected industry growth rates the outcome will inevitably be more total accidents. Developing countries with unacceptably high accident rates typically have not embraced modern safety management systems (SMS) and

models and “...Boeing’s expected new evolution of the 737NG, with a new engine.” The aircraft will replace ageing MD-80 and B757s, and according to American is the largest aircraft order in aviation’s history. The order is expected to trigger a series of similar deals, as Delta, United, and US Airways are currently evaluating single-aisle replacements.

Pilots as Gold The current recovery is well under way - passenger air traffic rose eight percent in 2010, after declining about two percent in 2009 - and coupled with the forecast aircraft deliveries, and an aging workforce, pilot demand across the world is burgeoning.

due to the age 65 rule, the looming new pilot training regulations which will increase the time pilots must train and rest, and simply a general decline in interest in the profession.

The numbers are simply staggering. Boeing’s forecast of 466,000 more commercial pilots by 2029, is an average of 23,300 a year. 650,000 technicians will be required over the same period.

A sustained hiring boom is on the cards for the next ten years and it promises to be one of the biggest challenges the industry has ever faced. US low-cost carriers increased their pilot staffing some 11% in 2010 over 2009 and regionals increased about five percent, but the competition for people is heating up around the world. In Asia, the rapidly growing economies will ensure the region takes some 180,000 of the forecast, with 70,000 for China

alone. About 100,000 will be required in North America. Sherry Carbary, VP of flight services for Boeing said: “It’s a global marketplace for pilots...we’ll not have enough if that growth trend continues...that’s something the industry needs to come to grips with. Where is our pipeline of new pilots going to come from, and how are we going to finance them?”

A concerted effort to market the attractions of the career to young people, and to make training financing available is needed, and yet such activities have proved elusive for the industry. Low starting wages, the need to sustain high levels of training debt, and unattractive lifestyle elements, have made other industries far more attractive to many young people. And now with looming new US licensing rulemaking anticipated to demand that new hires have 1,500 hours of flight time in a combination of experience and education, along with an ATP rating, the path towards securing a F/O slot has suddenly gotten longer, more expensive and more tenuous. The impact to FTOs and collegiate aviation will be significant (US student starts are down 20% compared to 10 years ago), and some believe the controversial new rules not only come at precisely the wrong time, but that a resultant increase in aviation safety will be difficult to identify.

Current industry intelligence suggests that several Chinese airlines’ growth plans are being stymied due to pilot shortages; there is anecdotal evi-

dence that even carriers such as Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific are now expressing concern. In order to accommodate fleet growth, (Gulf carriers combined now have a 700 aircraft backlog), Emirates has been aggressively recruiting pilots and estimates it alone will need about 1,750 more over the next 5 years, having plans to hire 500 in the current fiscal year. The region has not been able to satisfy demand with their own nationals, and with many Western pilots available as a result of furlough over the past years, there has been an alternate and abundant supply. But that pattern is changing, as US carriers recover, pilots are recalled and US re-fleeting begins.

What is emerging is a global pilot workforce with personnel “poaching” a distinct new possibility. Maintaining - and increasing - pilot quality and skill levels will be an enormous challenge in this environment, especially when the data suggests that specific deficiencies in flight crew training have led to the recent high profile incidents and accidents.

Training and Simulation An oft-reported industry barometer is simulator sales, but getting an accurate data set is difficult given the fact that simulator sales are occasionally doublereported and some devices are manufactured for a company’s own training centers. Further, CAT has historically reported simulator sales on a calendar year basis as opposed to the fiscal year data released by many simulator vendors. However, based on data sup-

plied by manufacturers it appears that there were 36 full flight simulators sold in the “competitive” market in calendar year 2010, compared to 27 in 2009. CAE bagged the majority of these - some 27 - with most of these for single-aisle aircraft, but the company also reported the first A350 XWB machines for Airbus, a B777 and A380 for Korean Airlines, and a B777 each for Turkish Airlines and an undisclosed North American customer.

Some 15 more had already been booked by the company as of mid-year, promising that CY 2011 will be a rebounding sales year.

CAE continues to expand its pilot training services with its Global Academy, and operate 11 flight schools around the world with capabilities running from ab-initio to type ratings and recurrent training. The company claims it now has both the world’s largest network for airline type-rating training and the largest network for ab-initio flight schools. Jeff Roberts, Group President, Civil Simulation Products told CAT: “CAE is developing the first FFS for the A350 XWB, ATR 42/72-600, B747-8 and Mitsubishi Regional Jet. We just delivered the first FFS for the COMAC ARJ21, and we are supporting Bombardier’s CSeries development using the CAE Augmented Engineering Environment.”

Mechtronix is a burgeoning supplier of Level D FFS and in FY 2010 sold three Level D machines; the company claims that this represents a total market share of 10% - on par with Thales but one of 13% when focussed purely on

the single-aisle market which accounts for over 80% of all FFS ordered. In FY 2011, Mechtronix received orders for four Level D FFS, placing it just behind Thales with stated sales of five for the same period. Mechtronix also claims it kept a No.1 position as an FSTD supplier (FNPTs, FTDs and fixed-base FFS, the latter dubbed FFT-X by the company). The FSTD business will no doubt grow as the technology is effectively positioned to accommodate the myriad of emerging training initiatives, including the ICAO Multi-Crew Pilots License (MPL) and the new US pilot training rules. See CAT 3-2011 for a complete MPL update.

Industry icon FlightSafety International celebrated its 60th anniversary in March and can lay claim to delivering some 800 simulators and related devices and over 700 visual systems since 1978. The company’s 42 Learning Centers train more than 75,000 personnel each year. With particular expertise in business and regional aircraft, the company not only supplies simulators for its own centers but also occasionally to the outside market, including 2010 sales of an EMB 190 to Azul Brazilian Airlines, and Q400 and EMB 170/190 FFS to FlyBe. FSI is the factory-authorised training provider for the Embraer family of E-Jets. Last year FSI announced it would build a new simulation design, manufacturing and support facility in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

With the first delivery of the B787 scheduled for the third quarter, Boeing Flight Services has set up a global training network of eight training suites, including FFS, FTD and desktop training devices, which have been manufactured by Thales. Five locations are now ready: Seattle, Singapore, Tokyo, London and Shanghai. B777 pilots can transition in as little as five days, given the commonality between the airplane types. The first crews from launch customer ANA completed training with Boeing in Seattle in June. New research on the subject of pilot competencies and “best practise” has been completed by Boeing and discussed on page 18.

A New Era The pending release of new flight training rules in the US, along with other emerging training initiatives, has opened up a burgeoning new era for flight simulation, not only because of everadvancing technology, but also due to a widening of simulation applications.

In the latest in the long post-Colgan Air saga, the FAA released a Supplemental NPRM (SNPRM) in May which amongst other things proposes much more scenario-based recurrent

training and emergency training in flight simulators. The original January 2009 NPRM had to be revised due to industry comments, information learned from the Colgan investigation, and the 2010 Airline Safety Act passed by Congress. Although this SNPRM did not address the contentious F/O hiring minimums, the much-discussed “pilot qualification rule” is due shortly. And as of press time we noted that the FAA had missed the August 1 deadline for implementing new rest and duty time rules which were also mandated by the 2010 Airline Safety Act. FAA Administrator Babbitt has said that the SNPRM provisions constitute “the most significant changes to air carrier training in 20 years.” Emphasis will shift to crew-based competence rather than “individual” skills, with “real-life scenario” simulation training for emergencies, including stall recognition and recovery as a key component. (Note also the work of the International Committee for Training in Extended Envelopes (ICATEE) summary in CAT 2-2011). Remedial training for pilots who fail proficiency checks are part of the proposal, as is a nine month recurrent training regime, which will result in F/O’s receiving twice the amount of simulator time over a 36 month cycle as they do today. Comments on the SNPRM were open until July 19.

Increased use of flight simulation training devices (FSTD) for scenario-based or LOFT training was already a trend in the industry, as well as initiatives such as FOQA, and the use of flight data analysis (FDA) and Evidence-Based Training. New simulator instructor and debrief tools have been rolled out over past years (see page 22) and these have increased transfer of training. New on-line and mobile learning technologies are delivering an ever larger portion of the curriculum. “Edge-of-envelope” simulator modeling is affording more realistic stall training, and continuously evolving visual simulation technology (see page 14) have made training more “immersive” than ever. We also note that Cathay Pacific has become the first airline to embrace Sabena Flight Academy – Development’s (SFA-D) Lm² motion system which is based on a rewritten set of algorithms for simulating lateral motion and accelerations, thus providing a more realistic manual flying simulation. These technological advances in simulation will help facilitate the new regulatory environments, and conversely, the changing regulatory environment looks poised to help drive FSTD demand.

There is some irony to the fact that despite the enormous aircraft sales, eye-popping personnel demand, and some of the most sophisticated technologies on the planet, interest in aviation amongst youth is declining. The lack of availability of training funding remains a huge constraint. Further, the new training regulations could further mitigate industry attractiveness, reduce student starts, even cause more training schools to close their programs as we have recently seen with some US collegiate aviation institutions. Initiatives such as ICAO’s Next Generation of Aviation Professionals (NGAP) are helping to highlight the issues, but the aviation industry must grasp that there will be severe competition for the “best and brightest.” When we are evaluating the prospective “seed corn” we must focus on comprehensive personnel “selection.” Effective psycho-motor selection of personnel has been demonstrated by the experience with the MPL program, and through decades of military application.

It could even help in the elusive pursuit of training funding by lowering financial risk, but most importantly, it will help improve the quality of the overall training pipeline, something that will be of critical importance in this new era. cat

TRAINING TECHNOLOGY

Training Game Changers Civil aviation training audiences benefit from recent advancements in visual display systems.

Group Editor Marty Kauchak looks at developments in these systems’ supporting hardware and software, and how the Boeing 787 visual training system integrates these trends.

T

here is a quickening pace of developments to meet the civil aviation community’s insatiable appetite for higher fidelity visual training systems. New image generators (IGs) and projectors, and other components provide more realistic environments in civilian fixed wing and helicopter training systems, allowing those aircrews to better train as they operate.

During WATS 2011, CAE launched the third generation of its Tropos 6000 series IG, the 6220. Phil Perey, Technology Director in the office of CAE’s Chief Technology Officer, pointed out emerging requirements for the civil sector include “the need to have all those fine details around the airport” and described how Tropos 6220 supports this and other demands.

CAE fielded Tropos 6220 to improve that level of immersiveness and situational awareness for the training audience. Perey, who additionally serves as

the company’s program director for its Airbus 350 portfolio, explained that on one side, the 6220 helps bring in better details of the runway surface. “We have always had ‘contaminants’ on the runway – snow, rain and ice – and you could never get that subtle appearance.

So what we have done is brought in reflection map technology into the Tropos system and now you get a full reflection based on where the puddles are.

The light from the side of the runway on which you are landing has its reflections broken up and basically shimmer as a function of whether there is water or ice in those puddles on the runway.”

Initial implementations for the new CAE Tropos 6000 platform include the first two A350 XWB full flight simulators (FFSs) for Airbus, as well as updates to their A300, A330/340 and A380 simulators, plus upgrades to Air France A320, convertible A330/A340 and A340 simulators.

based IG system that is integrated in the more than 30 full flight simulator training devices annually built by the company.

The full flight simulators may be found in FlightSafety’s 42 Learning Centers as well as commercial and military training facilities that serve fixed wing and helicopter operators around the world.

One linchpin of the VITAL X’s technology foundation is its platform agnostic – capable of being integrated into a visual system with an expanding array of projectors. Internal R&D efforts ensure the PC-IG remains interoperable with new projector platforms with LED, LCD, laser, 3-D and other capabilities. Jon Hester, General Manager of Visual Systems, noted that the VITAL X also has many optical configurations. “This is a very configurable, flexible system. The type of device doesn’t matter.”

Above Some of the innovations to FlightSafety's VITAL X technology are driven by the civil helicopter community's requirements for more realistic training.

On the projector side of the visual system, JVC started production this March of the DLA-VS2100U projector. There have been “substantial deliveries” of the VS2100U to customers including Rockwell Collins, FlightSafety International and RSI, according to Tom Stites, Midwest Regional Manager and Special Projects Manager at JVC’s Display Division. “Two of the companies have achieved overseas Level D certification with the product and that will be their ‘go-to’ projector for Level D trainers,” he added.

Stites cited three major improvements in the VS2100U’s capabilities over its younger sibling (VS2000U) - an increase in brightness by about 40 percent; an approximate doubling of the

VITAL X, as a COTS, PC-based product, also allows the company to take full advantage of the rapid evolution of the gaming industry, with respect to accelerated graphics and other innovations, said Dan Myers, FSI’s Director of Simulation Marketing.

“This allows us to provide the customer with the most realistic, out-the-window, training environment as ever before. The environment has unmatched content, extraordinarily high resolution textures way below sub-inch texture, dynamic shadowing, realtime weather, 3-D oceans and much more.”

The civil helicopter community’s burgeoning requirements for more realistic training are generating other innovations for VITAL X, including the upgrade of the optic system. FlightSafety, using the competencies acquired through its acquisition of Glass Mountain Optics, now called FlightSafety Displays, is putting a glass mirror system on a full motion simulator to increase the fidelity of the visual display and provide a wider field of view, specifically for its helicopter customers. “This will be a 60 degree (vertical) and 220 degree (horizontal) field of view. And because glass mirrors are rigid, we can expand the fields of view as we move forward with the technology,” Rick Armstrong, Vice President of Simulation at FSI, explained.

Armstrong added the glass mirror system will also eliminate distortion – another gain for the helicopter training audience that tends to use the entire field of view of the simulator.

FSI is also bringing its vast experience using night vision goggles and other sensors in military scenarios into the commercial domain to help satisfy the increasing use of these sensors by helicopter crews in emergency medical service, off-shore oil and other sectors.

contrast ratio from 10,0000:1 to about 20,000:1; and the integration of smear reduction technology.

The more capable VS2100U was introduced at about the same price point and form factor as the VS2000U. The VS2100U also relies on JVC’s continued use of its underpinning D-ILA technology for its simulation projectors.

“From the outset, what has helped us achieve the market penetration that we have over the past few years, and sets us apart from our competition, is contrast ratio and image fidelity,” Stites said. JVC has always had a contrast ratio that was about four times that of its competitors – an important enabler of night time or low visibility simulation. “That has been the major shortcoming of our competitors’ products and even some

of the newer technology out there – the LED-illuminated DLP systems. They don’t measure up, currently, in terms of brightness and particularly in terms of contrast ratio.”

The VS2100U has a minimum specification of 850 ANSI lumens when used in the simulation environment.

Competing DLP-LED systems are making rapid inroads as their baseline technologies mature, offering improved maintenance costs and other benefits.

Christie, earlier this year, fielded the Matrix SIM for civil aviation training market. The projector is built on the same RGB-LED illumination platform as the Christie Matrix StIM, which has found favor in the military sector. “What that means is that it is the same platform and architecture but without the infrared capability and the dual channel,” Dave Kanahele, Christie’s director of simulation solutions, told CAT. Kanahele further noted that Christie provides projectors with a wide range of outputs; up to 35,000 lumens. And he commented on the viability of LED technology for simulation solutions. “The optimal projector technology is driven by understanding the requirements

and applying the best solution to solve our customers’ problems at the system level. In the case of our LED based projectors, for example, we are able to scale a solution in ways not achievable with non-solid state illumination while still providing additional capabilities along with low maintenance and low cost of ownership."

Terry Burns, Equipe Simulation’s Managing Director, followed up on this theme when discussing his firm’s Contour line of DLP-based projectors. Similar to other recent industry offerings, the Contour 550 series integrates LED illumination, which offers extended lamp life, Burns said. He emphasized that DLP projectors’ manufacturing process removes a majority of moving parts found in earlier CRT systems.

“And so it becomes a solid state projector which means the maintenance and service costs really go down. You are talking about replacing lamps at around 50,000 hours.”

While Burns recognized the rapidly evolving DLP technology baseline is overcoming inherent shortfalls in brightness, he pointed out these projectors are nonetheless enabling visual display sys-

tem certification by aviation authorities and agencies.

Equipe is further enhancing DLP projector efficiencies through an in-house R&D effort to address motion flicker, or blurring. The company’s solution to counter blurring in state-of-the-art DLP projectors increases their operating frequency from 60 to 100 hertz (Hz) or higher. “One hundred hertz (plus) will remove any motion blur and brighten the picture up. Just like televisions at home that run at 100-200 Hz, you get a well refreshed picture.”

Increasing the DLP projectors’ operating frequency similarly increases the processing requirement of the enabling IG in the same visual display. “And when you are you are running an IG at 100 Hz and a projector at 100 Hz you really do get a good, quality picture,” Burns observed.

He added the company’s Generation 10 IG portfolio is able to meet that increased operating parameter.

Equipe expects to have a higher speed projector available to the community in last quarter 2011 or first quarter 2012 Scalable Display Technologies is also enabling the visual display to immerse the pilot in a more accurate rendering of

Boeing’s 787 training system represent the latest, large-scale community effort

Asked to describe the leap-ahead capabilities between the 787 and the company’s legacy aircraft training systems, Saladin highlighted the creation of a suite of training devices, and in particular, the debriefing capabilities – of which visualization is a foundation. “The crews in the briefing room will have the briefing tool available to them which contains full, live simulation and actually experience things they couldn’t experience before – it would have to be done on a whiteboard.”

The 787 training debrief system records the airplane display information, including the electronic flight bag and the heads-up display. Mitesh Patel, Head of Product and Platform Management Simulation at Thales, pointed out the system also records flight deck controls operation down to every switch movement, malfunction inputs from the instructor station and pilot control inputs. The approach allows the instructor to play back the complete scenario with all the information presented to the flight crew on the airplane displays available.

The Thales team includes Rockwell Collins, which installed its EP-1000 image generation systems with LCOS projectors on the 787 FFS devices. “The FFS devices currently in production will be capable of interfacing with the EP-8000 as well as the EP-1000. The image generator used is driven by customer choice and the Thales devices are capable of supporting products from other IG suppliers” Patel added. cat

Integrating Components

to integrate cutting-edge technologies in a program’s visual displays.

One of Boeing’s earliest, key requirements for its 787 visual training system was for a large number of existing, custom databases. This capability was sought to provide 787 customers high fidelity representation of airports in their regions.

Mike Saladin, Senior Manager of Simulator Engineering for Boeing Flight Services, recalled the decision and said it was also driven by the expectation that a large number of training devices would be bought and distributed to 787 training campuses worldwide.

Saladin also noted Boeing wanted the most current technology to provide the quality of the screen content and produce the visualization of that content. “So we chose at the time to be one of the launch customers of the new LCOS projection system. These projectors provide much brighter scene content, and don’t have all the alignment and drifting issues that the legacy CRT projectors had.”

Another watershed decision was to have the same visual system support the 787’s family of training systems: the full flight simulator (FFS); a Level 5, flat-panel training device (FTD), and a desk top trainer with debrief station.

The technology solutions fielded by Thales, the training system integrator, were scalable to economically address the different levels of product and were able to use the same database at the program’s training campuses.

the training environment, in particular, in training devices supported by multiple projectors and IG channels. The company addresses this challenge by producing software that automatically edge-blends multiple projectors into seamless digital displays.

Andrew Jamison, CEO at the company, pointed out that it is imperative that the visual systems for civil aviation (and military as well) have perfect geometric uniformity such that objects, including planes in the distance, remain at a true and constant speed.

Scalable's software accomplishes this task by bringing speed and accuracy to what has historically been a slow and painful task of manual calibration.

“Our patented camera feedback solution is easy to use and delivers consistent repeatable results,” Jamison said.

When CAT spoke with Jamison this June, Scalable had just added Scalable Display Manager (SDM) to its software suite. Jamison explained the product is directly targeted at the simulation community, both civil and military.

“Highlights of SDM include a number of new easy of use features and compatibility with a number of warp/blend appliances.”

FSI and Equipe Simulation are among other companies reporting progress in honing their auto-calibration and alignment capabilities.

The recent release of the 2011 Boeing Pilot and Technician Outlook through to 2030 served as a real wake up call to those who were not already aware of the scale of the training requirement.

he seemingly inexorable rise of those numbers identifies an annual global demand for 23,000 pilots, and nearly 32,500 technicians. In China and India alone the population under 35 years of age is double the entire population of the United States – that gives an indicator of the scale of future demand for travel.

At the Paris Air Show 2011, Sherry Carbary, Vice President Boeing Flight Services, rolled out these latest figures to illustrate the rationale behind the new organisation of Boeing Flight Services, which now groups all elements of training and flight services. The history of keeping experts in the operational aspects separate from those delivering the training tasks has been swept aside.

The clearly defined aim is to have a single entity to match the specific departments within an airline’s flight operations department with the appropriate Boeing support systems and skills. Consequently the airline can go directly to the source and get the best answer to any operational, training, maintenance or air traffic query. The industry is rap-

idly changing, and legacy carriers are being joined by those start-up airlines who may not have the in-depth knowledge established over the years. Boeing's aim is to make problem solving straightforward and transparent. As new technology, regulation and methodologies are adopted, the training will be modified to embrace them so that they can be smoothly integrated into flight operations.

In parallel with this forecast, Carbary made the equally important point that getting so big a number of new entrants into the aviation industry is itself a challenge. “We need to let this new generation know that the industry is sexy, interesting; that there can be passion in being involved in such a rapidly changing world, which blends high technology with team skills”.

Continuing the outreach programmes to schools and universities is an important part of the future strategy, and bringing the option of a career to those who may not even have considered it before is essential to be able to choose the best.

Training Philosophy Roei Ganzarski, Chief Customer Officer Boeing Flight Services, explains that a complete rethink of how to train should lead changes in all aspects of training, from initial through to all forms of recurrent training. In the past, change was primarily seen as coming from new technology/software and methodology, but he insists that emphasis also be placed on the role and behaviour of the instructors which need to be adapted to the new methods in order to achieve the optimum training output. Similarly, full advantage should be taken of using the abundance of up-to-date data from flight operations which is now available to shape the most effective training.

One important tool available to Boeing is the range of Jeppesen (a company wholly owned by Boeing) charts and training material. Another fundamental is the strong belief in the role of MPL training to produce a better low-time pilot. This process, solidly based on competency and with Threat and Error Management and Crew Resource Management embedded right from the start,

the industry, but it is interesting to note that in Asia, where the forecast demand is greatest, such funding initiatives are already underway.

Type Rating and Recurrent Training Boeing has also taken a fresh look at both type rating training and recurrent training. Whilst recognising that regulatory imperatives have to be respected, they started with some serious research to better understand what is really required in line operations. A major contributor to that ongoing research is Dr. Barbara Holder, lead scientist for Boeing Commercial Airplanes product development.

The key question asked at the start of the work was “What does it mean to be a trained pilot?” The research, carried out in 12 countries around the world, involved observing entire flights, from all aspects of pre-flight preparation, through jump seat rides, to interviews with all levels of pilot experience and qualification. The critical competencies were derived from an analysis of the actual demands of line operations and factors underlying good pilot performance. What is interesting here is that,

rather using the approach of analysing faults to fix problems, there was greater emphasis on identifying pilot “best practice” to avoid those problems in the first place.

Those competencies were grouped into three categories; basic flying, managing the inevitable changes of a routine flight (for instance a change of runway whilst taxiing, or when making an approach), and managing unexpected changes (diversion, medical emergencies etc). Both basic flying and the more demanding changes were generally well covered in training, but what became apparent was that the “routine” changes were not usually addressed in the training packages, but were left to be learnt through experience (on the job training).

A further revealing piece of information was confirmation that the role of the instructor is absolutely critical. The value of a training session can be considerably diluted if the instructors display arrogance or other unsympathetic behaviour.

There was a great deal more information derived from these studies, and it is the responsibility of Tim Adam, Boeing’s director of Training Development, to use

is showing its benefits as more graduates of that training regime complete their licences at ATOs around the world.

Lessons learnt from Boeing's own Beta test, coupled with the results from other MPL courses, is allowing the fine tuning of this new pattern and it is seen as the best solution to start the career of a young pilot.

New technology, in the form of fully glass-equipped training aircraft and their associated FTDs and training aids, is much closer to the cockpits of the aircraft in current airline service.

With a robust ab initio training programme set-up decided on, there is also discussion on how to engage the brightest and best to take up a career as a pilot.

Selection at the start of the MPL is part of that pattern, and psychological profiling at this stage should be a good predictor of future success and retention. Formal academic credit for the professional studies would also help to encourage new entrants.

The difficult question of funding is still a choke point – and until the airlines or governments step in to help, a large number of potential new entrants simply can't afford to get into the industry. This remains one of the major challenges for

PILOT TRAINING

this and other data to structure the training. One source of data is that which is derived from the analysis of incidents and accidents over the last 10 years. The aim is to identify the main causal factors so that crews can be trained to eliminate them. Loss of control in flight, CFIT, runway incursion, loss of airspeed and so on are still exacting a high price, and recognising the causes and devising training to address them is a major goal.

New LOFT Work is nearly completed on a complete library of adaptive LOFT scenarios. There will be a menu of training tasks from which a given customer can design and use training specific to the airline. The start point is to have routes based on six regional bases in San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro, London, Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong. City pairs representative of the individual airline's operations in those regions will be the basis for a planned flight, and a fully scripted scenario can be built for the crew.

The session starts with full pre-flight preparation with all necessary flight documentation. The instructor will play all other roles (dispatcher, cabin crew etc.) and will work their way through the script. Different events can be triggered at the instructor's choice – to elicit discussion about MELs, for instance, or to cope with runway change during taxiing, or a runway crossing (raising the possibility of a runway incursion). During the climb other minor abnormals can be selected, but in the cruise there

will be a main event as chosen by the airline. This may be derived from direct experience within that airline's operations, or some industry event. Each event will be driven to its full conclusion. For instance, a cargo hold fire can be run through – not only to a diversion if required, but also post landing to see whether the crew choose to evacuate or not. Where before similar scenarios may have simply stated “we would make a PA announcement”, these crews will be expected to actually make such a call. The aim is to provoke and reinforce learning through a facilitated debrief using playback and discussion.

The emphasis for this two and a half hour part of the session is on training, the remaining hour and a half is for the mandatory required training/check.

This includes upset recovery, the less extreme unusual attitudes, windshear events and unreliable airspeed.

Roll Out The first application is to revise the recurrent training. Historically, this consisted of the basic handling and various abnormal drills as required by the regulators. What is now being proposed is to blend the day-to-day challenges of realistic line operations for an individual airline into this phase, so that the first day online should hold no surprises. Naturally enough, the first aircraft in the Boeing fleet to use this new training paradigm is the Next-Generation 737, and Adam plans to see this roll out towards the end of 2011. That will be followed in due

course by the transition and type rating training packages adapted along the same lines. Future plans are to roll this out to other Boeing aircraft types.

There are at least two key elements to ensure the effective implementation of this training pattern. Bearing in mind the earlier comments about the quality of instructors, it is recognised that instructors must be trained and standardised in this new philosophy. To be fully effective the instructors need to be operationally experienced, such that, even though the session is scripted, a slight variation introduced by the crew can be adapted as the session runs on. The second, equally important, is that regulators need to understand the reason behind the training and to be convinced that it answers their requirements.

One factor that Ganzarski is keen to follow up on, thereby echoing Carbary's drive to make careers in aviation attractive, is to recognise the importance of the role of the instructor by elevating its status through, perhaps, offering it as a career option which experienced line pilots could choose at some point, with the commensurate financial rewards.

Action There have been many recent conferences, papers and articles on the challenges facing the aviation industry, and the training organisations in particular.

With this initiative from Boeing there is an identifiable and positive action to make available a much needed practical solution to airlines around the world. cat

W

ith the increasing demand for more pilots to crew the predicted expansion of newer, more sophisticated airliner fleets, it is becoming even more critical for flight instructors to find the most effective and efficient means to accurately monitor and evaluate pilot performance. Fortunately, new flight instructor tools are evolving along with more advanced simulators to help instructors meet this challenge. The real issue now is to properly train instructors to take full advantage of the capabilities of these improved instructor operator stations (IOS) and brief and debrief tools.

ISSUE 4.2011

Briefing Improvements

CAT MAGAZINE

22

The latest in instructor flight training and monitoring technologies have been incorporated into the Boeing 787 flight training system. According to Pat Garrigan, Boeing Flight Services lead flight instructor, and Don Reiter, Senior Manager, Flight Training Curriculum and Courseware Training (and formerly responsible for 787 training development), the company has positioned the

IOS seat in the full flight simulator inbetween the students, providing greater visibility for the instructor to monitor the student’s performance.

The IOS screens are also now positioned in front of the instructors, allowing them to access the information more easily and increasing their ability to focus on the students. In addition, the IOS in the 787 can have three displays, and they also have the ability to display the captain or first officer’s primary flight display or electronic flight bag, for real-time monitoring.

Garrigan and Reiter explained that the briefing tool is used for training in the 787 flat panel trainer and full flight simulator, while the debriefing tool is used in the full flight simulator. Both help the students understand the procedures through the interactive touch screens.

"During the lesson pre-briefing, the student and instructor can practice complex procedures, saving valuable time in the devices," Reiter explained.

“The briefing tool allows the instructor to evaluate the student’s proficiency when demonstrating the procedures and

can course-correct, as necessary. The debrief tool allows the instructor to take a ‘snapshot’ in the full flight simulator.

This ‘snapshot’ allows the instructor to replay the student’s performance during the debriefing, showing exactly what the airplane inputs were during a certain maneuver."

Regardless of the technology, the most important improvement of the IOS is to increase the efficiency of its operation so that customers don't waste time setting up training, said CAE's Chief Engineer Peter Jarvis. At the same time, these tools must be able to provide the instructor with better insight into the crew's performance. In addition to recent improvements in IOS instrument displays, CAE is considering adding more graphical presentation of information to help improve instructors' situational awareness. This information will help instructors evaluate what the crew members are doing, as well as improve the quality of that evaluation, Jarvis said.

Making the IOS interfaces more intuitive and providing an off-board IOS are other improvements under consideration.

TRAINING UTILITIES

Advancing IOS Capabilities

companies are seeing a trend toward more of their customer airlines running pre-programmed training lesson plans via the IOS. However, only so much can be accomplished in training by only running lesson plans, Wickramasek cautioned.

Debrief Advantage According to Carlton, in a separate station away from the simulator, debriefing represents a cost-effective means to improve the learning experience for the student pilot and thereby contributes to improving aviation safety.

"That's why we do the brief/debrief capability away from the simulation," Carlton pointed out. "This leaves the simulator free for what it was intended for, while providing quality time for both the instructor and the pilot away from the pressure of the simulator to reflect on what has happened in the training session. The actual simulator session is just a bit unreal because of everything that is happening during it, which stretches the pilot's sense of reality. The debrief is not just a 'what did I do wrong' session for the pilot. It is an emotional relief that enhances learning by giving it another reference in terms of the experience (in the training session) that the pilots have had. It gives the pilot and instructor time to review and discuss it, which underlines the learning experience."

During the testing and approval of the Boeing 787 training system, the new debriefing capability for the system also provided an unexpected benefit, according to White. He said that EASA

and other agencies actually recorded every simulator session via the debriefing system and used the recordings to help evaluate the 787 training system's performance. Because of the system's success, Boeing is now going back and reviewing its training courses for the 737NG and 777 aircraft.

"Having developed the debriefing for the 787, we are applying the same basic technology for the 737NG and 777," White said. "We are on the leading edge for the next stage, with these aircraft lending themselves more to this capacity. These things are coming up in the aircraft midlife updating process, addressing whether you could provide this new debriefing capability for older aircraft."

"We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak for the industry, but the recording capability is an integral part of the 787 training program," Reiter said. "As we are training 787 customers, it is proving highly valuable to show the students how they acted and how the airplane responded. Boeing Flight Services is looking into incorporating this feature into our other training programs. The learner retention is enhanced through actually seeing themselves make control input and how the airplane reacted."

Greg McGowan, VP of Operations for FlightSafety International (FSI), said that while his company has not done anything particularly noteworthy in the past couple of years to enhance IOS operation, there has been more improvement in the brief and debrief tools area. This includes the company's SimVu software

"The experience of the military is that there are certain advantages to training tasks in removing the instructor from the simulator, one being adding more realism for the crew," Jarvis said.

"This is something that we think could be a benefit to civil aviation by improving the quality of the training."

According to John Carlton, Manager of Thales Simulation Technologies Group and David White, Chief Scientist for Thales Training and Simulation, one new IOS capability that Thales is considering to add is interconnectivity with an iPad or other multifunctional tablet computers to provide instructors with more flexibility.

However, engineers want the instructor to have to hit the least number of IOS buttons and not distract himself from the evaluation task, while gaining the most information about what is happening on the simulator flight deck. While providing new capabilities, the goal is not to make the capabilities of the IOS too complex or otherwise the instructors will not use them, White pointed out.

"This is one of the main problems for the instructor, because he should actually be monitoring the pilots rather than pressing a lot of buttons on the IOS," said Thales IOS expert Suranga Wickramasek.

"We have been trying to address this challenge, such as the complication of having to navigate through a lot of pages and pressing a lot of buttons to achieve the aircraft or environment configuration."

To help resolve the complexity and help standardize training parameters, both Jarvis and Carlton said that their

that provides a total replay capability of the entire full flight simulator training session, including instrument displays and a graphical representation of a God's eye view of the aircraft during the training flight. With such a capability, the instructor and pilot trainee can theoretically spend more time in the debrief session than the actual training flight.

"To me, the debriefing can be, in many instances, the most rewarding and actually provide more learning than the actual flying session, especially when you start to talk about complex situations involving CRM and communication," McGowan said. "It gives the pilot a perspective that he has never had before to see what his flight looks like from outside the cockpit. The debrief tool is as valuable a complement to the simulator as the visual system. It adds that much value to the training. We certainly are using it more and more."

Such a debrief session not only helps the pilot learn better, but it also helps the instructor keep better track of what was happening during the training flight, McGowan said. The replay can help the instructor see things that he might not have noticed during the training flight.

While it is important to provide the instructors with better monitoring tools in the IOS, it is critical do so in the debrief in order to be able to capture everything in the training session, Jarvis said.

"There has been recognition of the use of the debriefing tool to reinforce learning," he commented. 'In this respect I think that the debriefing tool can be employed for much more effective learning."

FOQA Data While Jarvis feels that FOQA tools could be of benefit when used to create training scenarios for demonstrations of deviations from standard operating procedures and aiding instructors in the assessment of pilot performance, White and Carlton expressed reservations about doing so.

"One of the problems with FOQA data is that you are trying to drive the scenario when you don't have all the subsets of information," White said. "This is one of the problems that we have had before where the recorded data does not give you all the information. You are touching the surface, and if you are doing an incident investigation, it will give you an indication, but it won't tell you everything."

According to Carlton, one cannot drive the entire simulation from FOQA data. "You can do a representation of what happened, but it won't give you enough information to drive the whole flight deck," he pointed out.

Train the Trainer While many improvements can be made to IOS, brief and debrief tool capabilities, the consensus of everyone was that none will be effective without the proper training of instructors in their use. All of the companies cited provide such training for their customers. One of the key things that Boeing Flight Services does on the 787 program is spend 12 to 18 months training the trainers.

While more advanced flight instructor tools and more emphasis on instructor training can help improve pilot performance and improve instructor efficiency, there will still be the challenge of the increasing number of pilots that will be required in the near future.

"From a training standpoint, what we need to do is look as quick as possible to determine where a pilot has a weakness and try to address that in each training session," McGowan summed up. cat

MAINTENANCE TRAINING

The Search is On As the worldwide economy recovers, airlines are recalling furloughed aircraft and maintenance technicians - and looking for new ones. But are there enough people to do the job?

Robert W. Moorman investigates.

orth America will need more than 137,000 “maintenance workers” over the next 20 years to accommodate the strong demand for new and replacement aircraft, projects Boeing’s Current Market Outlook analysis. But with all the talk about the impending shortage of qualified AMTs, and the growing trend of many technicians going to work for other industries, there is increasing concern among airlines and trainers of whether that need would be met.

Upgrading training standards for AMTs to service today’s compositefilled airliners and advanced electronics and power plants is laudable, but wasted if there aren’t enough students that want to pursue an AMT career with the airlines.

Most airlines queried say publicly that there are enough qualified AMTs out there, and more are on the way to replace retiring workers. But some carriers admit privately that the industry has an image problem. Working for airlines doesn’t have the allure it once did. Salaries and benefits for AMTs at several US

airlines are significantly less than they once were and there is growing lack of security, according to industry experts.

Consequently, young people who once yearned to work on the big iron are looking elsewhere for employment.

Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC/SIU) was a major source of AMTs for United Airlines, but that well dried up when the airline downsized its maintenance force and sold its Oakland, Calif. and Indianapolis, Ind. maintenance bases.

“That affected us in terms of where our graduates go,” said David A. NewMyer, PhD, Chairperson and Professor of the Aviation Management and Flight Office for SIUC. Today, most SIUC graduates with an Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) certificate go to manufacturers, such as Rockwell Collins. Last fall, Boeing came to SIUC’s Aviation Career Fair and interviewed several candidates for maintenance related positions at the OEM’s facilities in Everett, Wash.

“Less than 10% of our graduates go to work for airlines,” said Michael Nolan, Associate Department Head for Under-

graduate Instruction, Department of Aviation Technology, Purdue University. At one time, 30% to 40% of Purdue’s graduates in aviation technology went to work for the airlines.

AMT Schools There are fewer Part 147 schools in North America than five years ago and there have been changes at the university level as well, according to NewMyer, the immediate past president of the University Aviation Association.

Over the last 12 years, some US Midwest schools have dropped their AMT programs. Yet AMT schools have sprung up elsewhere. In North Carolina, several community colleges have started AMT curriculums, including Craven Community College located near Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point. The Institute of Aeronautical Technology at Craven prepares students for work on military and civilian aircraft. Guilford Technical Community College and Wayne Community College, both in N.C., also provide A&P instruction.

Many major airlines have yet to begin

Determining whether there is an actual shortage of AMTs is difficult. Much of the information available is anecdotal and based largely on the average 50-plus ages of many AMTs at US major airlines, who are nearing retirement.

There is no current study available that projects a shortage of AMTs in North America, and opinions among industry experts vary.

“We’ve heard about the shortage, but we’re not seeing the direct signs of it here,” said Kurt Kinder, Managing Director of Line Maintenance for Alaska Airlines. “We’re not doing a lot of hiring, but we’re bringing some guys back from furlough.”

Others agree. “I keep hearing about a shortage, but nobody seems to be hurting for technicians,” said Charles Horning, Chair of the Aviation Maintenance Sciences Department for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona, Beach, Fla. “We’ve had good success placing graduates at airlines, manufacturers or MROs.” Look to Delta Air Lines and American Airlines (AA) to obtain a clearer snapshot

On The Road SR Technics could soon offer EASAapproved aircraft maintenance training to military personnel throughout the world using mobile training teams and next generation training solutions.

“We are preparing ourselves to bring the artificial (simulated) aircraft maintenance training anywhere in the world,” said Markus Bürgin, head of Group Technical Training at SR Technics. “We would provide the same standard we now provide at our home base in Zurich.”

“Any customer that is unable to receive training now will be able to receive the mobile training by the second period of this year.”

SR Technics did not specify which country’s military was considering its training services, but a look at the training requirements of its own aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs) gives an indication of the level of proficiency of its MRO and AMT training operations.

Unlike the US format, where AMTs receive an A&P license from a technical school or a university and then go to work, prospective AMTs in Europe begin their technical training outside of the airline environment at a vocational school right out of high school or during. Prospective AMTs in Europe are put on the vocational career path long before they go to work, typically.

Eventually, the student obtains an EASA approved aircraft maintenance license (AML), similar to an A&P license, followed by other licenses as they gain experience.

What Shortage?

of AMT staffing situation. Several US majors have downsized their maintenance departments in favor of outsourcing heavy maintenance in particular.

But Delta and American have created sizable, profitable MROs that work on other carrier’s aircraft in addition to their own. Consequently, their need for line and heavy maintenance qualified AMTs is greater.

During the last economic downturn, Delta laid off numerous AMTs as part of its capacity reduction plan. When Delta AMTs received return-to-work notices this year, “they got refusals from a high percentage of those mechanics,” said John Goglia, president of the Independent Fixed Base Operators Association.

“In the past, when recall notices came, it was rare that anyone would not come back to work.”

Delta’s Human Resources department says it hired nearly 400 AMTs and recalled four in the last six months.

It also promoted around 70 employees from other positions to AMTs. Delta did not address how many recall notices to AMTs were sent out initially.

Wilma Miller, general manager of Delta Tech-Ops Training assured CAT that there were more than enough AMTs to do the job and more will be hired as the need arises.

Her sentiments were echoed at AA. “American has not had a problem identifying qualified AMTs to join our maintenance organization,” said AA spokesman Andrea Huguely. AA hired AMTs at airports in Chicago, Boston, New

hiring significant numbers of newly minted AMTs, but there has been a spike in hiring graduates by aircraft and avionics manufacturers, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities as well as other industries, said Dale Forton, president of the Alexandria, Va.-based Professional Aviation Maintenance Association, which represents AMTs.

There are three levels of AML licenses: A, the basic level allows the technician to work on an aircraft, but does not allow that person to release the plane for air service; B1 (mechanical) and B2 (electrical) qualified mechanics can perform base maintenance and release an aircraft following service; C Level qualified mechanics can perform heavy maintenance and release an aircraft for air service. C Level qualified mechanics are also supervisors.

At SR Technics “we take students directly from technical colleges or universities and put them on the B level,” Bürgin explained.

“Or we capture students in the A level and allow them to upgrade to the B level. We have experienced mechanics with good backgrounds from other industries and they jump directly into B levels.”

SR Technics has a dual approach apprentice program that is similar to programs offered elsewhere in Europe. Typically, apprentices go to school for a few days, then work in a maintenance environment for the rest of the week. The company offers two-year, three-year and four-year programs.

At present, SR Technics has around 180 apprentices in three and four-year programs. “We blend basic modules into their training,” Bürgin said. “So if the students come out after three or four years, they will already have an A-level AML.” Bürgin wouldn’t comment on whether certified mechanics are hard to find in Europe. But, within Switzerland, “we are in a privileged position,” he said, because of the many qualified technicians in Europe that have gone through high-level vocational maintenance training programs for all kinds of industries. Consequently, “we can recruit from a big bulk of mechanics,” he said.

SR Technics receives between 500 and 600 applications annually for up to 50 AMT jobs.

York City and begun the process in Tulsa, Huguely said, site of its large heavy maintenance base. AA has an immediate need to “backfill” some positions due to normal attrition, Huguely added.

Both Delta and AA put newly hired AMTs through two to four weeks of training before they can report to their assigned dock. The training includes a general familiarization course followed by fleet-specific training.

Retirements Despite assurances of no shortage, educators and airlines are concerned about the increase in retirements of veteran AMTs. The airlines are losing “legacy skills” from the retirement of veteran AMTs, according to an official with the International Association of Machinists (IAM), which represents AMTs at US Airways, Hawaiian Airlines and other carriers.

“Because of all the furloughs, the airlines don’t see a crisis coming, but they will feel it once the senior guys leave,” said David Supplee, secretary treasurer of District 142 (Kansas City) for IAM. Supplee was the lead AMT for US Airways maintenance base in Tampa before hundreds of AMTs got their pink slips a few years back.

The International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) recently published study – Global and Regional 20-year Forecasts – Pilots, Maintenance Personnel and Air Traffic Controllers does not project a shortage of qualified AMTs, but does reveal a shortfall of training capacity worldwide equivalent to 360,000 maintenance personnel. ICAO estimates a need for 70,331 maintenance personnel per year worldwide over the next 20 years, with training capacity currently at 52,260, for an annual shortfall of 18,071. Current population of maintenance personnel is 580,000 worldwide. By 2030, there will be a need for 1,165,000 maintenance personnel, ICAO states.

“If no action to increasing training capacity is initiated early, shortages in qualified aviation personnel are likely [worldwide],” Raymond Benjamin, ICAO Secretary General stated.

While the debate over the shortage of AMTs continues, educators continue to improve the AMT training curriculum. This enhancement continues despite the fact that the FAA has yet to upgrade the Part 147 training standards for AMTs since 1992.

The biggest problem for educators is the way Part 147 makes it difficult to make changes to teaching topics. “Right now, it is very hard to do,” said ERAU’s Horning.

The other problem: Part 147 standards are incredibly dated.

“Students are still learning dope and fabric repair,” said PAMA’s Forton. “They should be learning about composites and glass cockpits and troubleshooting.” At present, there is no requirement for composite repair training in Part 147.

An Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee, made up of regulators, industry groups and academics, submitted several recommendations to the FAA to enhance and update Part 147 rules for training AMTs nearly three years ago, and nothing happened. The FAA will not issue a Notice for Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on upgrading Part 147 until sometime in 2012 at the earliest, according to an agency spokeswoman.

Meantime, industry groups, technical schools, universities and OEMs are working on programs designed to improve

AMT instruction. Most educators want the revised AMT training curriculum to include instruction in so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;soft skills,â&#x20AC;? such as communications, writing and mathematics.

Years ago, ERAU eliminated all twoyear education programs in favor of the four-year Bachelor of Sciences baccalaureate degree program. The university has since rescinded that policy for AMT education. ERAUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Committee for Aviation Maintenance Science advocated technical courses along with additional softskills, which led to the reinstatement of the two-year program for AMTs. Academicians agree that the AMTs of tomorrow must be skilled in various areas to handle the ever-increasing complexity of working on next generation engines, components and airframes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that more important industry skills for graduates should involve analysis of problems that are data and IT system dependent, technology driven and whose solutions require multiple disciplines,â&#x20AC;? said Donald A. Petrin, Associate Professor of Aviation Technology for Purdue University. In addition to the technical skills mandated by Part 147, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we believe that future graduates will need to be innovators, problem solvers and multitasking team members.â&#x20AC;?

Petrin said tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AMTs need to be proficient in the use of smart tools, such as the virtual maintenance work space, network enabled smart carts, e-booths, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices, scanning technologies and QR-codes as well skilled in product/process improvement, green manufacturing, trending and modeling and safety/risk management skills.

Petrin said Purdue has â&#x20AC;&#x153;morphedâ&#x20AC;? from Aviation Maintenance Technology into Aeronautical Engineering Technology, accredited by TAC-ABET (Technology Accreditation Commission â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology). Within the AET program, 85% of the students earn the A&P certificate in addition to a baccalaureate degree.

Industry groups are very active in enhancing AMT training. The Maintenance Network, comprised of airlines, FAA, manufacturers and the Air Transport Association (ATA), is revising ATA Spec 104: Guidelines for Aircraft Maintenance Training, but a publication date has not yet been set. The Maintenance

MAINTENANCE TRAINING

Network is working closely with the FAA to harmonize changes to this ATA specification with any impending FAA rule proposals.

Spec 104 is a standard airlines use to develop in-house training programs to qualify AMTs to work on their airplanes.

The standard is used for after hire AMT training, not pre hire, ATA noted.

Part of current efforts underway is a push to broaden the AMT’s skills while making them more marketable. The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) continues its Project Bootstrap program to upgrade standards for avionics technicians and combine those with an A&P advanced certificate. The long-term goal of Project Bootstrap is to create a template for technical schools, colleges or universities as a beneficial adjunct to an AMT curriculum. The template not only provides the student with an A&P certificate, but an additional layer of education that will benefit them down the road.

“It is what we call the Next-Tech for the NextGen,” said Brad Townsend, chairman of NBAA’s Maintenance Committee, avionics engineer and former A&P mechanic.

Kansas State University, which offers Part 147 AMT training as part of its Bachelor of Science curriculum, is working with NBAA on Project Bootstrap.

Townsend hopes that ICAO will eventually launch the template for the newly created Aviation Maintenance Technical Engineer (AMT-E) position, which is a fusion of a trained avionics technician and an A&P mechanic.

Townsend updated top FAA officials recently on Project Bootstrap. “I specifically addressed the need for them to provide certified additional privileges for a new classification of AMT,” Townsend said.

“Beating up on the FAA over revising Part 147 doesn’t do anyone any good,” noted Steve Pennington, director of maintenance training, Boeing Flight Services (BFS). “A much more productive process is to work within the current regulations as they are and still incorporate a more relevant training program.”

Pennington pointed to Boeing’s AMT training efforts in China as an example of how a partnership approach between regulators, airlines and OEMs could work here possibly. Boeing set up

the maintenance facility in Shanghai on behalf of Boeing Shanghai Aviation Services. The OEM installed a training manager, hired local instructors and administration support. The OEM developed a basic technical skills training program aimed specifically at the Boeing Shanghai MRO center. The idea was to develop trained maintenance personnel, not regulatory approved personnel.

Boeing oversaw the facility’s construction, and then delivered the program to the Chinese. It no longer has a stake in the facility other than the intellectual property of its’ training materials. Nevertheless the experience provides value for all concerned with AMT training.

“What we found anecdotally,” said Pennington, “is that the quality of the trained personnel we were producing was better typically than the approved personnel that had been through external license programs elsewhere in the country.”

Such an approach is worthy of consideration, particularly if the FAA continues to drag its feet on revising Part 147 training standards. cat

CABIN CREW TRAINING

Hands-On Training Recent incidents have thrust flight attendants back into the spotlight, and pressures on the cabin crew community keep rising. But despite all this, airlines are still investing in new training equipment and training methods to ensure that their crews are able to deal with any situation that arises during the course of their working day. Fiona Greenyer explores recent developments in cabin crew training.

CRM Crew resource management, the importance of communication and teamwork among the flight and cabin crew, covers

such topics as situational awareness, distraction management, leadership, conflict resolution, and decision making. The importance for crewmembers to be able to communicate effectively and manage operational threats and human errors cannot be underestimated. Vicki Jurgens, Health & Security Chairperson, Association of Flight Attendants, spoke at WATS 2011 on this subject and highlighted that both CRM and Threat and Error Management are equally important. Threats that are not properly identified or managed can increase the chances that crew will make an error in dealing with the threat itself. She noted that the most important first step in error management is detecting and identifying them. TEM is a continuing process of interacting with the aircraft crew and operating environment with the goal of detecting, trapping and

learning environments and used a systematic approach which involved all the appropriate stakeholders. A gap analysis was conducted to determine the similarities and differences between the two training cultures, and the end result was the distribution of a revised InFlight Emergency Manual and a newly designed ‘merger’ training program that was tailored to each division of the airline. The learning organization was also restructured, with a centralized development team.

Moving forward, the airline will maintain a learner-centered approach using blended learning solutions. It will focus on continued improvement using training efficiencies and leverage technology. US Airways aims to develop faculty members, create valuable learning experiences and benchmark best practices and continue to refine its programs and resources.

n the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) recent proposal to overhaul air carrier crew training, it proposed that flight attendants would be required to complete hands-on emergency drills every 12 months, and the proposal would standardize the training and experience requirements for certain dispatchers and instructors. Airlines are now developing their own training methods to deal with the variety of issues that arise today, many airlines now having to merge different training cultures and face any concerns that can occur from this situation.

Since the 2005 merger of US Airways and America West, the inflight training department of the ‘new’ US Airways has successfully managed the merging of the two training cultures. Stephen Howell, Director, InFlight Standards & Training describes a ‘learning’ culture as “one which through learning, individuals can interpret their world and their relationship with it. A ‘true’ learning culture continuously challenges its own methods and way of doing things.”

The airline had to integrate the two

managing threats and errors in a timely and effective manner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;TEM is what we talk about, CRM is how we talk about it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Jurgens recommendation is that CRM/TEM is used not only for flight attendants, pilots and dispatchers, but for the entire operation division.

It is vitally important that flight attendants are prepared during their training for real world incidents. Every day they face potential emergency situations and possible threats and they must feel they have the necessary skills to deal with these situations. The best way to prepare and anticipate potential situations according to Jessica Reese, InFlight Development, SkyWest Airlines, is to study the environment, its elements and train for those variables.

As most of the industry is migrating towards an AQP environment, the training environment needs to be practical and as similar to the everyday world whenever possible. Hands-on training using cabin training devices is crucial for crewmembers to be able to take role playing training seriously.

SkyWest Airlines has implemented a joint emergency training program based on real world experiences during

flight attendant and pilot common day in recurrent training. An emergency event is simulated in the cabin trainer and students play a role as either a passenger or an actual crewmember. Once the scenario is played out, a vital debriefing takes place in the classroom and valuable lessons are learned. The results of this training have proven to be invaluable in their application of emergency training, says Reece. As a result of this training, the airline has seen a larger participation rate in class discussions, a heightened awareness of possible threats in daily operation, and most importantly, a more confident and well trained crewmember.

Training Technologies It has been a busy year for companies who manufacture and install cabin training devices. As has been reported elsewhere, the Boeing long-range forecast which anticipates delivery of 33,500 new aircraft over the next 20 years will inevitably have a knock-on effect for cabin crew training device manufacturers.

EDM Ltd., based in Manchester, UK, has recently played a key role in one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest and exciting passenger aircraft developments, the Chi-

nese-built C919, by supplying COMAC with a full engineering mock-up of the aircraft, which made its European debut at the Paris Air Show. EDMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialist engineering team and representatives of COMACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aircraft design group worked in close collaboration to perfect its ergonomic design, which was vital as the mock-up highlights all the new design features of the aircraft, and is not only being used as an engineering aid, but is also serving as a prototype simulator for flight crew training. The full-size assembly embodies an 18-metre fuselage section complete with high-fidelity flight deck, cockpit displays, passenger seating, in-flight entertainment system and a range of detailed features.

The company is also currently working on a project to supply Air China with two highly complex cabin emergency evacuation trainers. The devices will incorporate a three axis motion system with the usual door and slide training elements, but will also feature a visual system, communications, sounds and smells. EDM have developed and implemented a series of auto-programmed lessons that can be referenced against the manufacturers and regulatory

The cabins feature programmable smoke, fire and decompression events. Comprehensive lighting, communications and sound systems integrate with a scripted lesson plan delivery system to give Singapore Airlines a valuable training tool.

Most recently the company has announced that it is to manufacture an A320 door trainer for Air Asia for installation at their Training Academy in Kuala Lumpur. The trainer will consist of a 1L main door with RP’s advanced electronic door hinge and handle control system.

It will also feature a visual system providing out-of-the window scenes and a touchscreen FAP panel.

US company, Safety Training Systems Inc. has developed a solid reputation within the airline training community for the quality of its cabin and door training devices. Recent orders for this company include seven door training devices for Air China and as a result of the merger of Southwest Airlines and AirTran the com15:59:55 pany has been awarded a contract for 27

pieces of equipment. These include door trainers, overwing emergency exit trainer, and AFT emergency exit trainer. Delivery is due to start in October with the first three trainers going to the airlines’ Dallas training centre. The devices will be delivered to eight training centres in total, and the programme runs to April 2012.

A specialist provider of world class cabin crew training solutions, Spatial Composite Solutions is based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Earlier this year the company was awarded its first US contract to design, build and install an Airbus A320 cabin service trainer at Virgin America’s headquarters in Burlingame, California.

“Virgin America has made its mark by offering outstanding guest service and beautifully designed cabins with a host of high-tech amenities and entertainment systems. The airline is certainly not lacking in innovation and the level of sophistication planned for their new training centre underscores the company’s commitment to excellence in just about everything it does,” said Joseph McKeever, CEO of Spatial.

number of contracts over the past 12 months. RST is especially proud of being selected to develop and manufacture the very first two door training devices for the Airbus A350 aircraft for Airbus to complete the Airbus customer service centre in Toulouse, France. The award contains the delivery of one door trainer 1L, one door trainer 2L and an option for the delivery of a slide tower and a crew rest compartment.

China Eastern Airlines has recently put an A320 overwing exit trainer (OWET) assembled and delivered by EADS RST into service. The OWET allows exercising the emergency escape and slide use in an efficient way. While the CEET is in use by another group of trainees to practice several flight scenarios, the OWET allows students to perform escape training on low cost equipment.

Lufthansa Flight Training is embracing new technology with A380 Virtual Aircraft Visit. Developed by LIVINGSOLIDS GmbH the training system familiarises crews on the A380 aircraft in an interactive format. The system has 12 trainee stations and one instructor station and all stations are equipped with a PC, 55” plasma HD-stereo TV, shutter glasses and a gamepad as an input device. The application itself shows the complete exterior and interior of the A380 in Lufthansa spec. The interactive application takes students through the process in three steps, introduction, tutorial and interactive visit. Aside from the 3D model of the aircraft, all emergency items are available as 3D models, and are placed in the correct location within the aircraft. In addition, multimedia information regarding the items can be accessed during the training. Trainees navigate their way through the whole aircraft to make themselves familiar with the environment and to find emergency items. Essential requirements of the system when it was being developed were to familiarise crew with the aircraft, layout and dimensions, equipment and devices. It had to be easy to use and have no intensive instructions.

Frank Ciupka from Lufthansa Flight Training concluded that following this new type of training Lufthansa cabin crews, in general, the young crews enjoyed the virtual aircraft visit, whereas the older crews had more difficulty, and at least 50% prefer a real aircraft.

Cabin crew training is inevitably evolving as security threats change and airlines are starting to embrace ‘virtual’ training, though this is not likely to take the place of the preferred handson training. cat

NATIONAL FOCUS

Thailand â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Planning for Growth Chris Long heads to the Far East and takes an in-depth look at the training market in Thailand.

Flag Carrier

Above

Thai Airways International is the longestablished flag carrier for Thailand, and is clearly recognised as such with the global reach of its route structure. However, in response to both its own needs and to the requirements of the many new airlines establishing themselves in Thailand, it has set up an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) which has approval from the Thailand Department of Civil Aviation in line with the ICAO specifications.

Captain Chuchart Jantabutara, Thai Flight Training Academy (TFTA) Chairman, says that strong ties were put in place in support of this new organisation with Government Departments such as the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and all the flying training schools. The aim is to lead a coherent grouping of parties interested in developing a reliable and quality-driven national aviation training capability.

The Thai Flight Training Academy (TFTA) was formed in March 2010,

Thai Flight Training Academy was established by Thai Airways in 2010 and offers a full range of pilot training courses.

and uses resources which were previously operated by the Flight Deck Crew Department of Thai Airways. A vigorous third party training activity for over 20 airlines has now been underway since May 2010. A full range of pilot training courses is available, from airline transition training, through flight instructor training and type rating training to crew resource management.

For cabin crew all safety training and service training, including fire, first aid, emergency evacuation training and CRM is carried out in-house, using the facilities at TFTA in Bangkok (see table).

The demand has been increasing here, and the growth rate in training over the last two years has been a healthy 10%. Further training will be required as the fleet renewal and expansion of Thai Airways continues through 20112017. A total of 37 new aircraft will be

he enormous growth in the predicted global demand for competent personnel needed to support the aviation industry, particularly for pilots and technicians, is still grabbing headlines. Most of these forecasts have come from the global players â&#x20AC;&#x201C; aircraft manufacturers, ICAO and IATA; but naturally others have also been studying those numbers. Nowhere is that more true than in Asia. This region, where the biggest demand is forecast, has many players looking at the training market as an excellent opportunity, and this is particularly true in Thailand.

With APATS 2011 shortly taking place in Bangkok, it is appropriate to see how this country is approaching that future training demand, and as such it can be seen as representative of a more widespread view in the Asia Pacific region. Far from concentrating merely on answering the national need for pilots and technicians, Thailand is measuring the cost of investment against the return that training for additional regional customers, in particular for the Chinese market, could yield.

learnt from other aspects of that same culture. Whereas in the west the solution to the fatigue and stress incurred in the aviation business tends to be through lifestyle counselling, an Asian view proffered by Thai Airways is that the philosophies of both Buddhism and Tao can be used to de-stress and calm situations using meditation and other techniques familiar to crews from this region.

London-based Integrated Team Solutions and continuing development is provided with partners at Texas University, the NTSB of the US, and IFALPA. Whilst a particular culture may offer challenges in some areas, there can be positive lessons

An indicator of the long term view is the progress on the Multi-Crew Pilots Licence (MPL), which was defined by Thai Airways in 2009, and is presently being delivered in partnership with three organisations, the Civil Aviation Training Centre of Thailand, the Bangkok Aviation Center and the International Aviation College Nakhon Phanom University, all of which provide the Phase 1 and 2 training elements.

TFTA completes the training for Phases 3 and 4. The first four students are due to graduate in November, and the early signs are very encouraging.

At APATS 2011 the TFTA will bring the delegates up to date during the MPL Session on Day 2 (21st September), where the first four students will be present. As with other MPL programmes, the training is in excess of the ICAO minimum requirement; for instance the actual aircraft time in Phase 1 and 2 is 110 hours, with 50 additional hours in the FTDs, and the course lasts for a total of 18 months (as opposed to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;classicâ&#x20AC;?

purchased/leased, comprising six Boeing 777-200ERs and eight Boeing 787s, together with 12 Airbus A350s and 11 Airbus A320s.

Frequently in the region there is a trend to move away from distant and potentially expensive suppliers and instead to develop local initiatives. This is especially true for modifications which do not impact on simulator performance or formal regulatory approval of FTDs/ FFSs. For instance, within the Thai Flight Simulator Department, the updating of the Instructor Operating Stations (IOS) has replaced an older generation of displays with state-of-the-art touch screens, where the interface with the existing devices uses PC-based software produced by the in-house Research and Development department. Other programmes add to the visual database for the Thai Airways destinations, and those of third-party customers who are reaching some of the more remote but rapidly developing airfields.

A major drive to further improve on safety has been the ongoing work on CRM. Captain Silpin, Manager Flight Crew Resource Training Department, recognises that there were once issues within the local culture of less-than-ideal CRM on the flight deck between the older captains and young first officers - age and seniority is historically well respected in Thailand. With a new generation of captains coming online, who have as first officers themselves been trained in CRM, that problem has now been addressed.

Courses for CRM instructors are run by

Civil Aviation Training Center of Thailand (CATC) This recognition of the importance of civil aviation for Thailand is nothing new; 2011 is the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Civil Aviation Training Center (a State Enterprise under the Ministry of Transport). When it was established it was the result of an initiative jointly run by the United Nations, the Thai Government and ICAO. Air Chief Marshal Paiboon Chanhom, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Acting President of CATC, points to the annual output of some 1,400 graduates across the entire range of aviation disciplines, from technicians to engineering, to management, to air traffic controllers, dispatchers, pilots and so on. Many of these graduates are from other Asian countries, and he plans to build on this customer base to respond to the huge demand within Asia. The main training centre is in Bangkok, where the academic studies take place. International partnerships are part of the organisation; for instance the contribution of Rolls Royce in providing engines for the engineering students to study is much appreciated.

All courses are recognised as units leading to a bachelor degree, so that students can make progress towards obtaining a formal and recognised tertiary educational qualification.

CATC also operates from two airfields to carry out pilot training. The primary airfield at Hua Hin was originally selected by ICAO as suitable for ab initio pilot training when CATC was created, and those considerations of weather factor, suitable terrain and accessible airspace still hold true. Group Captain Permsak Mukprom, Director of Flight Training Center, CATC, is pleased with his fleet of Diamond 40 and 42 aircraft, and the Center has also been recently re-equipped with two Robinson R44 helicopters to provide training for the CPL (H) and will soon provide training for the CPL (H) IR. Flight training devices (FTDs) are sourced from Frasca; the Diamond 42 device was the first of these to be produced by that company.

The range of pilot training spans all ab initio training, both theoretical and practical, and includes the CPL/IR and Multi Engine Rating. The CBT is sourced from Jeppesen, Oxford and Kings School and so conforms to the highest international standards. As already mentioned,

Above CATC has an annual output of around 1,400 graduates across the entire range of aviation disciplines.

there are MPL courses underway, and it is principally in this direction that Group Captain Permsak sees the future development. With the appropriate investment he sees the capacity of the school rising to 80 pilots annually, with a potential maximum of 100.

Aeronautical Radio of Thailand Aeronautical Radio of Thailand (a State Enterprise under the Ministry of Transport) plays a significant role in providing air traffic control services at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport. All air traffic controllers are trained to gain theoretical and practical knowledge through in-house training. The training is carried out at its base at Suvarnabhumi Airport, which opened in 2006. Working from what is believed to be the highest control tower in the world (at over 111 metres) the facility uses Thales Air Traffic Management system, which also features the airfield surveillance Eurocat X. Once again, local solutions to training challenges are being provided. Air Traffic Control Manager Jananya Siripanee is keen to point out that the realism of the training environment is considerably enhanced by using a standby controller facility as a training tool, so that when trainees make the transition to live operations they will be working on identical equipment. A 360 degree trainer for local controllers, modelled on

Suvarnabhumi airport, has been built using local resources. The service provided is a paperless â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silent Co-ordinationâ&#x20AC;?, with immediate electronic transfer of flight details between controllers, and seamless integration of information from the airport authority on gate allocation etc.

Recruiting In some parts of the world, principally in the West, there is great concern at the apparent inability of the aviation industry to attract the brightest and best. That situation is not universal, and it appears that across South East Asia there are still plenty of eager recruits who wish to choose a career in aviation, the trick is to select those with the requisite skills.

Thailand engages schools and universities in workshops and training projects, and believes that it will be able to supply sufficient suitably qualified people to meet its needs. It remains to be seen whether or not the essential capital investment to meet that target will be available, but it is certain that the understanding of the requirement and the basic training infrastructure is already in place.

The shortage of pilots is already making itself felt in the region, with some airlines deferring delivery of aircraft through lack of flight crew. It may be that new regulation in the USA will result in low time pilots there being freed up to look to Asia for jobs, whilst the Asian training organisations power up, but that increase in regional training capacity is certain to happen. The only question is just how long it will take. cat

The new rating, announced at the Paris Air Show, is designed for private pilots’ needs and operations. It meets International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements, and supporters hope that it could be adopted by other European countries.

AOPA France said the first candidates could be taking knowledge and practical tests by September. While the rating is limited to French-registered airplanes in French airspace, it includes a provision for foreign pilots with instrument ratings, such as those from the United States, to validate their instrument rating on their French certificate. In addition, the rating opens the door for other countries to follow suit.

CAE announces four training joint ventures New commercial aviation training centres in Middle East, India, Malaysia and Japan

CAE and AirAsia

CAE and Mitsui

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Tokyo, Japan

CAE and AirAsia have expanded their previous partnership into a joint venture agreement to provide training for pilots, cabin crew, maintenance engineers and technicians, and ground services personnel for airlines throughout the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region. The JV will also be responsible for the complete training of all of AirAsia’s pilots, cabin crew and maintenance and ground services personnel.

CAE and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. are forming a joint venture to establish and operate a training centre in Japan for the new Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ). CAE announced in 2010 an agreement with Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation to develop and deliver a comprehensive training solution for the MRJ, including a 10-year Exclusive Training Provider program.

The new agreement establishes the Asian Aviation Centre of Excellence in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The training centre will initially include six CAE-built full-flight simulators (FFSs): three A320 FFSs were previously owned by AirAsia and the A320, A330/340 and Boeing 737 Classic were previously owned by CAE. “This is the first joint venture of its kind in the ASEAN region, and it combines the strengths of two dynamic industry leaders,” said Tony Fernandes, Chief Executive Officer of AirAsia.

“AirAsia and CAE have enjoyed a very productive partnership, and now is the time to take it to a new level to help meet increasing demand for well-trained aviation professionals,” said Jeff Roberts, CAE Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services.

“CAE is uniquely positioned to develop strategic relationships with aircraft OEMs to train their customers, helping in aircraft market acceptance and entry into service,” said Jeff Roberts. “The MRJ training program is a prime example of CAE’s unique and comprehensive suite of capabilities, including instructional systems development, integrated simulation technology, facilities planning, regulatory expertise and our demonstrated ability to collaborate closely with aircraft manufacturers, avionics suppliers and training partners.”

“The strong relationship between Mitsui and CAE spans four decades of successfully serving the aviation market in Japan,” said Ichizo Kobayashi, Mitsui Managing Director, COO, Marine & Aerospace Business Unit. “This joint venture for MRJ training broadens our relationship and expands the services we offer together to promote the growth and safety of civil aviation.”

Listening to our customers Jeff Roberts, Group President Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services

CAE’s customer-driven training approach is reflected in the many different ways we partner around the world One of the fundamental operating principles at CAE is that we listen to our customers. Many companies make similar statements, but I think you’ll find that we really do pay close attention. We have two ears and one tongue, so we try to listen twice as much as we talk.

The result of our active listening, together with the flexibility of CAE’s comprehensive portfolio of solutions, is evident in the many different ways we work with airlines around the world. We’ve truly learned with every conversation that one size does not fit all. Each airline has its own business model and unique training philosophy. Our challenge is to tailor training solutions which help each customer achieve their particular objectives for safety, efficiency and effectiveness.

Some customers send pilots to CAE training centres around the globe for wet or dry training. Numerous airlines leverage our database of pilots to fill their crew needs. Many acquire full-flight simulators, visual systems, airport databases, training devices, e-Learning courses and other advanced technology products from us. A growing number of airlines contract with CAE to support and update their simulators, as well as help manage their training centres. In several situations our infrastructure design team has assisted in adapting existing buildings to optimize training value, or even planned an entire campus literally from the ground up.

Increasingly, we have been partnering with airlines, applying CAE’s extensive expertise in developing and managing the spectrum of training. An example is the new Asian Aviation Training Centre of Excellence in Kuala Lumpur, a joint venture with AirAsia. In addition to training pilots, flight operations and ground crew for AirAsia, the new centre will provide training services to other airlines in the region.

A co-sourcing partnership such as this can transform training from a cost centre to a neutral line item on the books, or even turn a profit for the partner airline.

CAE’s relationship with AirAsia started in 2004 when we delivered a Boeing 737 simulator and signed an aviation training agreement. Only two years later, as AirAsia continued its rapid growth, CAE provided Airbus A320 simulators and CAE Simfinity™ training devices … and

2

we signed a simulator maintenance service agreement. In 2007, we agreed to manage AirAsia’s Type Rating Training Organization.

Last year, we launched CAE’s first Multi-crew Pilot License (MPL) program, and the 1st graduating class has started their careers as AirAsia First Officers. And now we’ve formed a full joint venture and are already training pilots at the new Centre of Excellence.

CAE also recently announced a joint venture with InterGlobe Enterprises to open CAE’s second commercial aviation training centre in India; a JV with Mitsui & Co. of Japan for training on the new Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ); and an expansion of our JV with Emirates to a second training centre in Dubai which will be wholly dedicated to airline training.

These are in addition to our long-established airline partnerships with China Southern Airlines in Zhuhai (and CAE Global Academy Perth), Singapore Airlines in Singapore, Aeroflot in Moscow, Alitalia in Rome, Iberia in Madrid, Air Canada in Toronto and Vancouver, US Airways in Charlotte and Phoenix, more recently Virgin America in San Francisco, plus our Training Cooperation agreement with Airbus around the globe.

In the ab initio realm, several CAE Global Academy campuses are wholly owned by CAE. Others represent collaborative agreements with well-established flight schools. We also partner with government agencies, in India for example, to support high-quality development of commercial aviation pilots.

Each of these relationships is structured somewhat differently, adapted to best suit the operational requirements of our partner and the training customers we serve together in each centre.

The first step in any successful long-term relationship, we believe, is to listen.

Whatever your business model or training requirements, let’s have a conversation. We’ll do the listening.

CAE and Emirates

CAE and InterGlobe

Dubai, UAE

Delhi, India

Emirates-CAE Flight Training (ECFT), the joint venture between Emirates Group and CAE, will open a second facility in Dubai in 2012 to provide training for airline pilots and aviation maintenance technicians.

CAE, on behalf of CAE Flight Training (India) Pvt Ltd., and InterGlobe Enterprises Limited of India are forming a joint venture training centre which will provide pilot and maintenance training solutions for the Indian aviation market. The centre will be located in the National Capital Region, Delhi, India and is expected to be ready for operation by the end of 2012.

The facility will initially house four full-flight simulator (FFS) bays.

The first FFSs installed will replicate the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 families of aircraft.

“Continued strong airline growth in the Middle East and neighbouring regions is driving the need for additional highly qualified flight deck crew and maintenance personnel,” said Gary Chapman, ECFT Chairman. “Our partnership has proven over many years the ability to consistently provide world-class training programs which leverage market-leading simulation technology.”

“The agreement between Emirates Group and CAE to launch ECFT was announced 10 years ago this month in July 2001, so it is quite fitting that today we announce another centre to further serve the growing training needs of the region,” said Jeff Roberts.

The focus of the new Delhi training centre will be to provide “wet” and “dry” type-rating, recurrent, conversion and jet indoctrination training for commercial aircraft pilots. Programs will also be offered for maintenance technicians. The training centre will initially house four new CAE-built Level D full-flight simulators covering Airbus and Boeing aircraft types being operated in India and complementing CAE capabilities at its Bengaluru training centre.

“This partnership will provide state-of-the-art infrastructure in India for training airline personnel in one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world,” said Rahul Bhatia, Group Managing Director, InterGlobe Enterprises.

“India is estimated to need more than 7,000 new commercial pilots over the next seven years and our Delhi training centre will help support this growth,” said Jeff Roberts.

B777-B787 Differences Program – CPaT has completed delivery and customer acceptance for the new B777-B787 Differences program to a major US airline. The new Level 3 interactive training differences program was custom-built for the airline for its pilots transitioning from the B777 aircraft to the B787.

COBiiAS – A New Type-rating Training System Alfred Haas is Head of Training for Farnair, an operator of 12 ATR-72, three ATR-42 and two Beech 1900 aircraft.

The company is registered in Basel, Switzerland where its Head Office is located, but also has a subsidiary base in Hungary. Haas has an extensive background with various companies in training positions and has long noticed that although aircraft technologies have continually advanced and flight simulators have followed this route, the actual training practices have hardly changed at all.

Given the opportunity by Farnair, Alfred Haas has been working for some time on new concepts but to bring this to fruition he needed a hardware manufacturer to put his ideas into practice. The result is a co-operative agreement with two other companies, Infowerk based in Zirl, Austria, and Axis Flight Training Systems based at Lebring, also in Austria.

All the partner companies have considerable experience in their respective fields and have used their joint experience to develop a new type-rating training system.

Computer Based Simulator Integrated Learning System (COBiiAS) is a new training concept for type ratings which incorporates all the ideas surrounding multi-crew based concepts leading to a better prepared pilot for airline requirements.

Initially the introduction of the system is based around the requirements of Farnair for ATR-42 and ATR-72 type rating requirements, but eventually the same system can be applied to any multi-crew type requirements.

So what is new? Under COBiiAS CBT is integrated with practical multi-crew orientated training in the simulator from day one.

Pilots entering airlines today are well versed in the use of computers and it is important to ensure that the training provided is both interesting and motivating, yet at the same time meets all the requirements to achieve type-rating in conformation with regulatory requirements. It was essential that costs did not exceed those under the current system and a benefit of COBiiAS is that the training could be completed in a shorter time scale with no loss of quality.

Whilst developing this system it became apparent that competency based training was the way ahead and ideas being conceived by the IATA group have been incorporated into the new system therefore ensuring compatibility with future developments.

This new programme and the associated software and hardware has been developed to move integrated training techniques with multi-crew requirements all incorporated to a new level.

Dransfield believes there is more work to be done around the adoption of an updated ICAO Standard for a complete suite of flight simulation training devices (FSTDs) pioneered through the FSG. “We must work towards the adoption by the regulatory authorities around the world of the work produced by the RAeS sponsored International Working Group (IWG) in ICAO doc9625 (edition three) requested by the US FAA that we started back in 2005,” he said.

Shows & Events Paris Air Show Report – The stimulus of technology results in constant change, and frequently a small group of engineers sets up independently and creates new systems and applications using emerging or adapted technology; the trick is to spot the new initiatives which will grow successfully. At the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget, two of those companies came here for the first time.

Flight Studio Technology, based in St Petersburg, Russia, was formed in 2006.

This group of young engineers originally concentrated on developing software to update an earlier generation of Russian simulators. They quickly realised that the future was more attractive if they started to develop low-cost Flight Training Devices (FTDs) for the new aircraft being introduced into service in Russia.

The nearby St Petersburg Flight Academy, one of the largest providers of pilot training in Russia, and the flight school at Ulyanovsk, 300 kms from Moscow, were

important opportunities which are close to completion. The encouraging start could soon lead to controlled expansion.

UAS /UAV Initiative in Oklahoma - The State of Oklahoma has been quick to recognise the potential for the booming future of UASs and UAVs. The Governor of the State, Mary Fallin, has energised an initiative to participate in that future by building on the strong aerospace and academic infrastructure already in place. The Secretary of State for Oklahoma, Dr Stephen W.S. McKeever, has been appointed to lead the coordination of the contributions from federal, state and commercial sources. The immediate effort focuses on the R&D, Evaluation and Testing of this technology, where it can access the resources of the local military facilities such as the ranges and airspace associated with Fort Sill - the main artillery training centre for the US Army, and Clinton Sherman, a former SAC base which can be used as a UAV test centre. McKeever makes the point that a unique feature of this programme is that the State has authorisation to fly in this restricted airspace, which covers some 2.5 cubic kilometres up to 40,000ft. The second, critical, strand is the involvement of the academic world . The drive includes the determination to further develop education and training in support of this new technology.

Representative of progress in this is the delivery of both graduate degrees and Masters in UAS/UAVs at Oklahoma State University.

There is also a favourable tax regime for both the students and companies which hire them, demonstrating the commitment to make real investment in this rapidly expanding industry.

With major centres of aeronautical expertise already present in Oklahoma, notably in the some 34,000 people employed at the maintenance base at Tinker airfield and the primary American Airlines MRO, there is a clear logic in expanding the state’s capabilities into this additional discipline and that effort is well underway. – Chris Long International Professional Pilot Training Group (IPPTG) – It is one year since EATS in Istanbul at which it was agreed that a new body needed to be established with the specific task of monitoring regulatory developments affecting professional pilot training, primarily with the objective of working with the regulators to avoid problems. In particular, to work to resolve difficulties arising from the introduction of EASA FCL. The nucleus of the idea was directly as a result of issues that had already been resolved by a smaller group working together with both EASA and the European Commission and would be primarily concerned with European issues.

Today we have in excess of 50 member companies coming from three sectors of the training industry: a) Flight Training Organisations conducting ab-initio flight training and whose principle source of business is the training of Professional Pilots b) Type-Rating Training Organisations providing type-rating training for Professional Pilots. c) Airline Flight Training Departments IPPTG is recognised by EASA, the European Commission, ICAO and the European Parliament Aviation Group and has resolved a number of issues over the past year, but following the introduction of EASA FCL in April 2012 will be when the real problems become apparent and it will be important to have an established organisation to deal with issues.

The Group is administered by ECOGAS using their staff based at BBGA located in Brill, near Oxford, UK. The current Chairman is the writer who was elected in Istanbul and internal business is

n this edition of CAT we list two fewer full flight simulators (FFS) than last year, 1278 compared to 1280 in 2010. This is against the trend which, between 2003 and last year, has been an average increase of 23 civil full flight simulators per year, illustrating the steady expansion of worldwide Commercial Air Transport.

So, is this year’s small reduction a blip or something more serious?

On looking at the detail, the main reason is that more simulators have been retired as old aircraft are taken out of service, than new simulators for more modern aircraft are being built. However, looking to the future, a forecast from Boeing suggests a need for over 22,300 new pilots per year between now and the year 2030, with the centre of gravity shifting from Europe and North America towards China, India, Russia and South East Asia.

So for the future we can say with confidence that the number of simulators will increase although the regions in which they are located will change.

In this year’s census, the USA is in the lead with 555 simulators, well ahead of the UK with 84 and the Peoples Republic of China with 70. France, Germany and Canada follow. Countries from outside Europe include Japan (38 FFS), UAE (25), South Korea (16), India (12) and Malaysia (11). Looking at changes since last year, the USA is down by 15 but there are increases in Germany, Canada, China, Japan, Netherlands and the UK. Including the nations stated above, there is a total of 64 countries in this year’s simulator census.

The distribution in the States of the USA is of some interest. Texas leads with

over 130 simulators followed by Florida with 98. These two States each have more FFS than any other overseas Nation.

This is due to the large number of simulator training centres in these two States, mainly in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas and the Miami and Orlando areas of Florida. The Census also shows that several other US States have more simulators than many other Nations. Also, eight other States have between two and eight simulators.

Turning now to aircraft manufacturers, there are 512 simulators for Boeing aircraft, but, perhaps surprisingly, only 254 for Airbus aircraft. Then there are 124 for aircraft by Bombardier, 80 for Cessna, 69 for Hawker Beechcraft, 38 for Gulfstream and 32 for Dassault. In terms of engine configuration, twin-jets have a large lead with 935 FFS, compared with 134 for twin-prop aircraft, 111 for 4-jets, 60 for 3-jets and 27 for helicopters. There has been a fall in 3-jet simulators as aircraft are taken out of service, and slight increases in 2-jet, 4-jet and helicopter simulators.

Level D leads with 968 FFS, followed by 233 at level C, 44 at level B and 28 level A. In 2011 there has been an increase of 60 Level D simulators over 2010 and a corresponding fall in Level C, suggesting upgrades rather than new-builds. In one sense the large numbers of Level D devices is surprising because all but a small amount of current training credits from Regulatory Authorities can be gained on level C devices. Airlines and training centres are prudently looking to the future where more training for upset recoveries and loss-of-control (now the principal sources of fatalities in the Commercial sector) may require the greater fidelity of Level D. Also, if a training centre is investing millions in a full flight simulator there is only a relatively small increment between level C and D designs. The two lower levels, A and B, simulator numbers are reduced compared to last year.

This trend will continue as old simulators are phased out and more sophisticated fixed-base devices become a step towards the training credits that can be gained on a level C or D device.

Looking at individual Regulatory Authorities, it is no surprise that the US FAA is well in the lead with over 600 certificated simulators, followed by over 300 for the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Quite a few EASA- and FAA-certified simulators are located outside Europe and the USA, and some are certificated by both Authorities. In other countries, CAAC in China certificate over 60 simulators, JCAB in Japan nearly 50, Transport Canada and CASA in Australia 30 each.

CAE is well in the lead with over 550 simulators listed. Most are made at

their factory in Montreal, Canada, and some at the CAE USA facility in Tampa, Florida, which was previously Reflectone and then owned by BAE Systems before being acquired by CAE. The other big players in the full flight simulator market are FlightSafety’s Simulation division at Broken Arrow, Tulsa, USA, with nearly 320 simulators listed, and Thales with over 290 from their facilities at Crawley, UK, and Cergy-Pontoise, north of Paris, France. The UK-made simulators include those originally from Rediffusion and Singer-Link Miles, both companies acquired by Thales. In France, the name Thales replaced the name Thomson CSF under which simulators were made at Cergy-Pontoise for many years. In terms of change, Opinicus of Lutz, north of Tampa, Florida, has added several full flight simulators this year and is now in fifth place behind Link. Mechtronix are next, located very close to CAEs plant at Dorval, Montreal. Mechtronix also specialise in fixed-base devices, which give essential lead-in training before Regulatory training credits are gained on a Level C/D FFS. Next in order are simulators from Sim-Industries of Sassenheim, south west of Amsterdam in The Netherlands. Rockwell Collins simulation division includes acquired companies NLX for overall construction, Evans and Sutherland of Salt Lake City for image generation and SEOS of the UK for display systems including their Panorama series of cross-cockpit collimated (distant focus) displays. The table concludes with SimCom of Orlando, Florida; Frasca of Urbana, Illinois; Indra of Madrid, Spain; and Transas of St Petersburg, Russia. In the detailed tables that follow this article there are 11 other manufacturers as well as the above.

Above FlightSafety’s Vital series of image generator systems is installed in over 340 simulators.

Image credit: FlightSafety International.

Three-window displays are most common with over 1100 examples, mainly of the mirror-based cross-cockpit collimated system first developed

by Rediffusion in 1982 under the name WIDE (Wide-angle Infinity Display Equipment). This is an example of an invention “whose time was right”, giving a distant focus that enables both pilots to see the corrective scene perspective.

Rather than only one pilot having the correct “eye-point” and the other seeing a distorted view, which is the case with direct screen projection systems.

In the census, there are about a hundred 5-channel simulators with a wider horizontal view. Some helicopter systems have 7 channels, 5 horizontally and two lower “chin windows” for downward

view when hovering, hover-taxiing or for nap-of-the-earth low flying. Image generator systems are led by Rockwell Collins’ EP, ESIG and SP series with over 490 examples, followed by CAEs Tropos and Maxvue with over 340, then FSIs Vital series also with just over 340. There are 53 examples of RediFun’s Raster series, about 20 Thales Image and then 15 other image generators. Finally, electric motion platforms are replacing hydraulic and there are 24 more electric platforms compared to last year.

Despite a small decrease in overall numbers this year, the full flight simulator is alive and well, with numbers of the highest (level D) design increasing significantly. Other trends include electric motion platforms and ever higher-fidelity imagery displayed on ever higher-resolution wide-angle displays. Future civil aviation expansion, particularly in Asia, means that in the longer term the numbers of full flight simulators will continue to increase, as will their fidelity. cat

Don’t miss the opportunity to participate in a special regulators workshop!

This year for the first time at the Asia Pacific Airline Training Symposium (APATS), to be held in Bangkok on 20-21 September 2011, there will be a special workshop dedicated to regulators on 20 September. Speakers and facilitators from IATA will lead workshops on Multi-Crew Pilot Licence (MPL) and Evidence-Based Training (EBT).

The aim of an EBT program is to identify, develop and evaluate the key competencies required by pilots to operate safely, effectively and efficiently in a commercial air transport environment, by managing the most relevant threats and errors, based on evidence collected in operations and training. A new ICAO manual on EBT is planned for publication in 2011 and this, together with updates to ICAO Document 9868 PANS-TRG and comprehensive guidance material, will allow airlines to develop an EBT program.

We would like to invite the regional regulators to join us in Bangkok to further understand the importance to adopt and implement MPL and EBT. To register please visit http://halldale.com/apats-2011/conference

77 CAT MAGAZINE

Published by ICAO in 2006 in the Procedures for Air Navigation Services – Training (PANS-TRG) document 9868, MPL is the first airline-dedicated professional pilots license. MPL training is tailored to guide students seamlessly from ab-initio training to airliner type rating, using simulation designed for multi-crew training.

ISSUE 4.2011

The aim will be to discuss and share best practices in the implementation of changing regulations.
