Year in Review

A Global Mindset In this, the 100th anniversary of the dawn of commercial aviation, the industry deserves to take a bow. Its enormous contribution to global economic development and cultural understanding is rarely acknowledged. Partly due to its vast diversity of operations, the industry does not have a single voice and thus has been vulnerable to poor policymaking, lack of international harmonisation, and inaccurate media coverage. The simulation and training sector is equally impacted, despite its contributions to maintaining extraordinary safety levels.

CAT Editor in Chief Chris Lehman comments.

A

t the recent IATA AGM in Doha, it was noted that aviation is the life blood of the global economy. It supports 58 million jobs and $4.2 trillion in annual economic activity, and as IATA Director General and CEO Tony Tyler stated “…as a catalyst for economic and social development, aviation and the businesses that we support have spread prosperity and lifted countless people from poverty.”

Tyler went on to say that this year the industry will connect 3.3 billion passengers and 52 million tonnes of cargo over 50,000 routes with 100,000 flights per day. In fact, the global network is so sophisticated that people now have the ability to be almost anywhere on the globe inside of 24 hours. But the industry’s financial performance does not yet match the value delivered. On 2014 global airline revenues of $746 billion, the industry will earn a net margin of just 2.4% - less than $6 per passenger.

As of May 2014, air travel markets had risen 6.2% over the year reflecting the economic upturn in late 2013. Not surprisingly, carriers in Latin America and Middle East recorded the largest year over year increases in international passenger travel, rising 9.1% and 13.2% respectively. Long term, the industry continues its explosive growth with demand projections at better than 5% per annum, with Asia Pacific low-cost carrier growth continuing to provide much of the rocket fuel.

With business models fragmenting, and the air transportation 06

product continuing to be “unbundled,” the push for efficiency in operations is strong, helping drive the enormous demand for new fuel-efficient aircraft.

The recent call for an industry “global mindset” is fundamental. From regulatory harmonisation to carbon emissions, and from security issues to tax policy, the industry has long suffered from poor government policy making and an uniformed public.

The Safety Focus 2013 witnessed 29 million flights on Western-built jet aircraft and 12 hull losses. This translates into a rate of 0.41 and represents one accident for every 2.4 million flights, almost a 15% improvement on the five-year industry average.

The rate in 2012 was 0.21, the lowest in aviation’s history.

The accompanying charts indicate the rates and trend lines including “Jet Hull Loss Rate by Region,” the “Modern Jet Hull Loss Rate” (aircraft produced

after 1985 and equipped with FMS and glass cockpits), and the “All Accident Rate” (substantial damage and hull losses for both jets and turboprops).

Africa has historically lagged other regions in safety performance and while there is much more work to be done, safety improved markedly on that continent in 2013, as it did in Latin America and the Caribbean. In Africa, the continuing implementation of ICAO’s Safety-Related Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPS) is seen as a key element to achieve effective safety oversight for that continent’s airlines, but only 11 African states had achieved 60 percent implementation by end of 2013.

The widespread adoption of Safety Management Systems (SMS) and the use of operational FOQA and LOSA data to feed into training system development has created a much more predictive – as opposed to reactive – culture within the industry, and the safety record owes much to this data focus. However, some carriers have indicated that the industry is becoming so data-driven they do not always have the resources to analyse all that is being generated, let alone turn it into mitigating training curriculum.

About a quarter of all accidents in the past 5 years were runway excursions, and this class of accident is the most common, although survivability is very high in these occurrences – representing about 8% of fatalities over the period. Runway safety programs have been a large focus of national and international regulators as well as industry, because in fact about half of ALL accidents happen within the larger “runway environment.”

2013 saw eight Loss of Control – Inflight (LOC-I) accidents – representing 10 percent of the total accidents over the past 5 years – and all resulted in fatalities. CFIT also remains a concern, with six reported in 2013; most occur in the approach and landing phase, often as a result of non-precision and/or un-stabilized approaches.

Over the last few years, a great deal of work has been done on LOC-I mitigation, and at one point some 18 separate organisations/initiatives were underway. ICAO’s Loss of Control Avoidance and Recovery

Training (LOCART) committee of civil aviation authorities received input from the International Committee for Aviation Training in Extended Envelopes (ICATEE) and an update was presented at the WATS conference (see www.halldale.com/wats).

ICAO intends to publish its Manual on Aeroplane Upset Prevention and Recovery by the end of 2014 (essentially a handbook for UPRT programs) which is derived from ICATEE work and also the long-standing Airbus/Boeing/ Flight Safety Foundation “Airplane Upset Recovery Training Aid (AURTA).”

While there is little debate on the need for on-aircraft UPRT training at the licensing level, it is less certain how practical this approach would be in air carrier operations. There is an emphasis on prevention from regulators, but given the wide range of stall and post-stall dynamics and loss of control scenarios, many believe these should be explored in an integrated program of simulator, aircraft and aerodynamic academic instruction.

And there is concern about simulators being able to model the range of “edge-

of-envelope” flight regimes and not introducing negative training.

Dr. Sunjoo Advani, Chair of ICATEE, and president of IDT, notes that “…airlines are rapidly gearing up to implement upset prevention and recovery training.

They are being advised to at least begin with the prevention part, and focus on stall awareness and prevention by applying approach-to-stall training.”

Movement on the subject continues.

EASA’s RMT.0581 and 0582 are under way (Rule Making Tasks) for UPRT, and Transport Canada released its Advisory Circular on Approach-to-Stall training, following the US FAA AC 120-109.

And the FAA is moving forward with implementation of the Airline Safety and Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010, which calls for full-stall recovery training and upset recovery training, in addition to prevention. The provisions that apply to UPRT will take effect in 2019, but there’s controversy around the US requirement to train to a full aerodynamic stall, and the cost of upgrading existing machines.

Year in Review Year of the Tin 2013 represented yet another outstanding year and combined Boeing/Airbus backlogs are at record levels. Boeing delivered 648 aircraft and took 1,355 orders net of cancellations. Airbus delivered 626 aircraft and announced 1,503 firm orders. Market share has settled out at roughly 50-50 between the two mammoth competitors, and together with ATR, Bombardier and Embraer, more than 1,500 western-manufactured aircraft were delivered to the world’s airlines in 2013, yet another record.

The narrow bodies are where the action is, representing about three-quarters of all orders, and largely being driven

by LCC growth in Asia. Amazingly, both A320 and B737NG are being manufactured at about 40 per month, and these rates are likely to be increased further through to the end of the decade. At the end of 2013 the combined Airbus/Boeing backlog was well over 10,000 aircraft.

Production is also surging for the wide bodies. A330 and B777 are both about 10 per month and A350 production is planned at 12 per month by 2016.

B787 production will increase to 12 per month by 2016, and 14 by 2020. The A380 and 747-8 four-engine transport market is somewhat weaker with Boeing bagging some 17 orders from five customers for the 747-8 and Airbus winning a notable order for 50 A380s from Emirates in 2013.

The smaller manufacturers – ATR, Embraer, and Bombardier – together delivered about 230 commercial airliners in 2013, with total orders at more than 500 in 2013. Embraer launched the second generation E-Jets aircraft programme (E-Jets E2), the first of which is slated to enter service in 2018.

Bombardier delivered 238 aircraft in 2013, including 180 business jets, 55 commercial aircraft and three amphibious aircraft. American Airlines, the Ilyushin Finance Co. of Russia and Iraqi Airways placed orders, including the new CSeries whose entry-into-service has been delayed again until the second half of 2015. Somewhat surprisingly, Bombardier secured 66 commitments at Farnborough, despite not having the aircraft present. ATR also experienced record orders in 2013, claiming a resurgence in 08

demand due to the fuel efficiency of turboprops on certain routes.

Just before Farnborough, Boeing released its annual forecast, raising its projection 4.2% from 2013 and stating that the world will now need 36,770 new aircraft worth $5.2 trillion by 2033. As has been stated previously, single-aisle B737 and A320s will attract the most orders, much of it driven by the exploding Low Cost Carrier (LCC) segment in Asia. Boeing commented that fully 40% of single-aisle plane production will go to the LCCs, with China overtaking the US as the largest domestic air travel market within 20 years.

According to Boeing, it will beat Airbus in the high-margin twin aisle sector, claiming that its 787 and 777X aircraft make up 65 percent of current orders, with the A350 making up the remainder.

But as Farnborough then demonstrated, Airbus launched a new competitor, a revamped A330 it calls the A330neo, with new high efficiency Rolls-Royce engines.

First deliveries are scheduled for 2017.

Notably, Boeing pulled back its forecast for jumbo jets such as the 747 and A380, with a forecast for 620 over the next 20 years, down from the 760 forecast last year.

At press time the Farnborough airshow was just closing and it appeared Airbus had won the annual orders race.

Airbus orders and commitments at the show were 496 aircraft valued at $75 billion, with demand for the A320neo – new engine option – particularly strong.

Boeing grabbed orders for 201 airplanes worth $40 billion. Of the 496 Airbus orders, 369 were for the A320 family, and the largest order was from SMBC Avia-

tion Capital, an aircraft leasing company active in emerging markets.

Single-aisle machines dominated Boeing’s orders as well with the B737 representing 123 of the 201 ordered at the show. Hainan Airlines committed to 50 B737 MAX 8 models and Monarch Airlines bought 30. Boeing’s Randy Tinseth said “…we see the heart of the single-aisle market in the 160-seat range… there’s no question the market is converging to this size, where network flexibility and cost efficiency meet.”

Simulation & Training It’s been a year of consolidation, M&A, and burgeoning simulator sales, with market leader CAE still the dominant player, but the competitive picture is changing. One interesting trend is the degree of new investment in the sector from some of the world’s largest aerospace primes, despite the fact the sector itself has comparatively modest revenues and margins.

The simulator technology itself is now entering a new era, in response to new training requirements and emphasis, and looming “clean-sheet” designs.

With some simulator vendors also providing training services, it is challenging to record the all-important “competitive” Level D FFS sales barometer accurately, as some “sales” are actually destined for a company’s own training centers, and fiscal year ends vary between companies.

The FFS trend line is clear, however, and given continuing enormous aircraft sales, there’s little sign the direction is anything but up. CAT has been following the numbers for decades and recorded a

Year in Review peak in 2007, with some 55 FFS sold competitively from all vendors. Sales dropped to a mere 27 in 2009, and increased to 45 in 2012. Last year, CAE bagged 48 machines for fiscal 2014 (end March) with 15 announced so far for fiscal 2015 which began April 1. On a calendar year basis, and including the other vendors, the industry total was about 50 in 2013, and probably on track for 60 in calendar 2014. Interestingly, looking at the 1,500 aircraft currently being delivered each year, and based on a ruleof-thumb of 25 aircraft per FFS, this yields 60 simulators.

Of CAE’s 48 machines in fiscal 2014, the vast majority were for the Asia Pacific market, corresponding to the aircraft sales picture, although some 20% of CAE listed sales do not disclose a customer. Single aisles dominate, but B787, B777 and A380 were part of a multiple sale to Etihad, and B787s were sold to Ethiopian, Zhuhai Flight Training Center and Air Canada, as well as a B777 to Shanghai Eastern Flight Training. CAE’s FFS market share is currently running at more than 75%, with the rest of the competitive market serviced by a growing group of other players.

Notably, the simulator census for this year shows an increase of 40 in the global installed base, for a total of 1,429. Simulator numbers in Europe and North America are not increasing whereas Asia-Pacific has 29 more than recorded last year.

Another point of interest is that combining Asia-Pacific with the Middle East gives 401 installed machines, significantly more than currently exist in Europe.

Berkshire Hathaway-owned FlightSafety International is nothing short of an industry icon, and specializes in business and regional airline training, as well as being particularly strong in civil helicopter training across its international Learning Centers.

In the regional airline sector, the company provides Bombardier CRJ and Dash 8 training and has provided ATR 42/72 FFS for Azul Airlines as well as the Embraer E-jet. Its modern simulator manufacturing facility in Broken Arrow, OK, is amongst the world’s most advanced, but much of its production is for the use of its own training centers.

L-3’s acquisition of Crawley-based Thales has re-branded the company as L-3 Link Simulation & Training UK, and it is now more aggressively pursuing the civil simulation market. Thales had been appointed Boeing’s designated B787 simulator provider, but competitive pressures have seen many B787s won by CAE. Last year, the company won a couple of B777 FFSs from China and EVA Airlines and a B787 for KLM. It also disclosed expansion plans for its Asian Aviation Training Centre (AATC) in Bangkok, adding an A330 simulator.

Rockwell Collins is another major US aerospace company that has pushed into the FFS sector, banking on its brand awareness in avionics. The company’s Pro Line Fusion avionics is incorporated into the Bombardier CSeries aircraft as well as the Mitsubishi Regional Jet. Over the last 10 years, Rockwell Collins bought Evans & Sutherland’s visual business, NLX, SEOS Displays, and Blue Ridge Simulation. A joint-venture with Beijing BlueSky Aviation Technology was announced, and Rockwell has said the JV will develop Level D simulators for single-aisle aircraft for both Chinese airlines and the global marketplace. The company has some experience with BlueSky, having previously cooperated on the C919 and the MA60/MA600 programs.

Yet another large aerospace company jumping on to the civil 10

simulation bandwagon is Lockheed Martin, having purchased Netherlands-based Sim-Industries several years ago, and now known as Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training. With the legacy B737 and A320 narrow body capabilities, Lockheed Martin has also been successful with a pair of B767 FFSs for FedEx, and late last year contracted for a B777-300 FFS for Lufthansa Flight Training. The company is heavily involved in training partnerships, and has customers in many parts of Asia including Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Japan and South Korea.

Frasca International is generally known for lower order training devices including servicing the US collegiate market, and like the much larger CAE, the company is a “pure play” operation, focused solely on training. Last year CAT reported on the company’s sale of a Level D FFS, a Citation CJ1 machine, for Nanshan International Flight Academy in China. This device has now been shipped, and interestingly the data package was developed internally by Frasca, and includes full stall simulations to address the new UPRT requirements in the US that go beyond approach-to-stall capabilities. Frasca enjoys somewhat of a reputation for developing simulator data packages in-house for aircraft classes that do not typically have manufacturer-supplied information available.

Perhaps the most interesting company development in 2013 was the announcement at WATS of the Textron acquisition of Mechtronix and Opinicus, and the branding of these companies and the former AAI as TRU Simulation + Training. Textron Aviation, which owns Beechcraft, Cessna and

Bell Helicopter, is the latest of the big aerospace primes to enter the sector. Jim Takats, President and CEO of TRU, confirmed that Textron is investing in the business, with a clean sheet FFS design in the works. And not surprisingly, the first post-acquisition helicopter FFS program was announced at Farnborough, for a Bell 525 helicopter Level D FFS to be developed by TRU and Bell Helicopter. Farnborough also saw TRU bag an order from Vancouver-based Viking Air and Pacific Sky Aviation for a Series-400 Twin Otter seaplane simulator. And just before press time Boeing announced the selection of TRU Simulation + Training as its supplier of new full flight training suites for the B737 MAX.

Better Simulators.

Safer Pilots.

Pilots Needed Last year CAT reported that there was no sign of a pullback in the continuing high pilot demand forecasts, and this year the numbers grew again. Boeing’s latest forecast states that 24,900 pilots will be needed over the next 20 years to support both fleet growth and retirements, up from about 23,000 forecast last year.

The bulk of course – 192,000 – will be needed in Asia Pacific, and this represents 40% of the total.

Over recent years the industry has been bombarded with dire warnings of shortages but they were not realised, mostly due to an external event that “saved” the day, whether it was economic crisis, the SARS outbreak, 9/11, or the relief from the US age 65 rule. But nowhere is it more obvious that the industry does not speak with a single voice than in the issue of pilot supply and demand. The recent US GAO study offers a “mixed” conclusion, a major pilot union sees no cause for alarm, and yet many US regional carriers are now cutting service because of crew shortages.

If there is a growing consensus that the problem is becoming undeniable, it may be because of the obvious disconnect between new aircraft deliveries and pilot availability and training rates. Mainline airline fleets will double over the next 20 years, and some 25,000 of the aircraft in the forecast are narrow bodied B737 and A320s. Assuming three crew sets per aircraft, in 20 years the world’s airlines will need to employ about 147,000 A320 and B737-rated pilots alone, and it is estimated only about 33,000 are employed today.

Globally, the symptoms of stress are becoming more evident. At press time, reports from Japan stated that several carriers have been cancelling flights due to crew shortages. Vanilla Air cut about a third of its domestic schedule in June, and Peach Aviation said more than 2,000 flights between May and October may be affected by pilot shortages. In the heavily expanding Asian market, this is being seen by many as the tip of the iceberg.

In the US, all major US carriers have exhausted their pools of furloughed pilots, with Delta being the most recent to call all of its crews back. The traditional happy hunting ground for US Majors is the regionals, but an unfortunate confluence of events has made that source much more tenuous. In fact, many US regionals cannot now fill all of the slots in their new hire training programs, and the simple fact is that the US is producing 60 percent fewer pilots yearly than it did in the 1990s.

factors, but the new prescriptive ATP requirements are seen as an additional obstacle at precisely the wrong time.

The new First Officer Qualification (FOQ) came into effect as of August 1 last year, as a result of the 2010 Airline Safety and FAA Extension Act. The rule requires F/Os to hold an ATP certificate with 1,500 hours flight time before they can be hired. Training organisations offering structured training programs can apply for hours credit, as can ex-military pilots, but as Brian Bedford, CEO of Republic Airways has said “ …an arbitrary flight hour requirement…produces tremendous unintended consequences…it has forced substantial air service cuts and reductions.” Bedford went on to state that the additional arbitrary flight hours force pilot candidates into a 12-18 month holding pattern before they can seek employment, and most of the time these hours won’t provide any additional professional enrichment, yet the costs to the candidate – and the impact to the training institution - are significant, and this is yet a further deterrent to those interested in the career.

Proficiency-based training programs such as ICAO’s Multi-Crew Pilot License have provided impressive results outside of the US, but MPL graduates to date number only above 1,000 and the program requires airline sponsorship and does not in itself solve the issue of “who pays” for training. This is the crux of the matter, and until it is comprehensively addressed, the industry will continue to suffer from its declining appeal as a 12

career choice, and the global uncertainty surrounding the availability of qualified personnel.

Interestingly, at April’s WATS event in Orlando, a panel on funding preemployment training was conducted by the Professional Aviation Board of Certification (PABC). Carrier-linked loans and user-fee loan concepts were explored, and a seemingly elegant solution was discussed in the form of a mere $1 per air ticket surcharge that could provide a fund to support workforce development and financing through a not-for-profit foundation.

Training Outcomes WATS highlighted a discernible and important training trend, and that has been the increasing recognition of the need to focus on training “outcomes” and not the process itself. This view extends to the simulator as well, and CAT has always maintained that the simulator is merely one of the tools used to achieve the required level of training and human performance.

The increasing role of operational “Evidence” to feed the content of recurrent training sessions, as well as Alternative Training Qualification Programs (ATQP), continues in many of the world’s carriers. Notwithstanding the earlier remarks with regard to the challenges posed by the torrent of data being collected, by definition ATQP and the US Advanced Qualification Program (AQP), focus on the specific needs of a particular carrier’s equipment, routes and

operational environment. The growing embrace of Evidence-Based Training is to be lauded, as it allows air carriers to pay specific attention to their own training “hot spots” and this has paid real safety dividends. Emirates’ introduction of manual handling simulator sessions – see CAT 3-2014 – which are in addition to the standard regulatory recurrent training, is reflective of a trend that sees additional simulator sessions being constructed by some airlines even for issues such as training for fuel efficient operations. The capabilities of the flight simulator are expanding in concert, and this is evident even in licensing programs - in the US, collegiate and other training organizations with access to Level D simulators are applying for additional relief from the prescriptive 1500 hour ATP requirement.

Perhaps the holy grail in data-driven aviation training is full “individualised training,” where the training system not only focuses on carrier, equipment and operational environment, but can zero-in on precisely the needs of the individual. Training footprints could vary - perhaps significantly - depending on the individual, with resources laserfocused on the absolute and real needs.

Given the variation in qualifications and abilities of today’s new hires, and the apparent difference in actual recurrent training needs across individuals, perhaps this is the industry’s ultimate destiny. We have the technology, if not the regulatory pathway, or indeed, the common voice. cat

Pilot Training

New Tricks for Old Dogs?

New aircraft types, new nav and comms systems, and new mandates for stall and adverse weather training. The pilot’s training task list is constantly changing, and simulation technologists are being challenged to extend the envelope. Rick Adams examines some emerging issues.

P

erhaps there’s a sliver of a silver lining that large numbers of veteran pilots, especially in the United States, will be retiring in the next several years as Congress’ 2007 ‘Fair Treatment’ extension to age 65 expires.

Allied Pilots Association vice president Neil Roghair has estimated, for example, that half of American Airlines’ pilots will leave the company in the next decade.

How can this loss of experience be a positive, especially amidst ubiquitous predictions of a looming pilot shortage?

Well, at least the airlines won’t have to pay the cost of re-training older pilots on impending technologies such as ground based augmentation systems (GBAS) or updated techniques for stall recovery.

A dedicated 2-3 day upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT) course, including academics, flight simulator, and an aerobatic aircraft, costs at least US$3,000. For the half a million commercial airline pilots Airbus and Boeing project worldwide in the next 20 years, that would be $1.5 billion just for UPRT training (though, at the ab initio level, only a 2-3% increase on the $100,000-150,000 cost to train a new cadet).

14

C AT M AGA Z IN E 4 . 2 0 1 4

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates changes to simulators to address UPRT will cost training operators about $50 million to update 322 existing devices to meet the new extended envelope standards. About 500 other older simulators in the field were deemed as “not likely to be used in a Part 121 training program” for stall and upset recovery training.

Conference hallway chatter suggests that aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing, as well as some airlines, are not yet completely convinced of the need to require UPRT of all pilots. This despite issuance in March of Doc 10011, Manual on Aeroplane Upset Prevention and Recovery Training, by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), based on inputs from blue-ribbon aviation industry committees representing OEMs, airlines, pilot groups, training providers, and regulators who have debated the UPRT issue for several years.

Henry Defalque of ICAO’s Air Navigation Bureau said, “Mitigating loss of control in-flight [LOC-I] accidents is an ICAO safety priority and upset prevention and recovery training for pilots is one means to address this priority.”

In the US, the question of whether to provide UPRT is more or less moot since Congress passed a law mandating such training. “We’re not going to sit here and debate whether it makes sense or doesn’t make sense. We have to figure out a solution on how to best implement this,” said Jim Takats, president and chief executive officer of Textron’s TRU Simulation + Training.

Simulator manufacturers and other industry stakeholders are scrambling to comment by October 8 on the FAA’s

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) addressing the new extended envelope training, as well as certain adverse weather training such as icing and crosswinds. Indeed, the first public comment on the NPRM was a request from American for more time to respond.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has also launched a UPRT rulemaking task working group and expects a report next year. This would lead to amendments in 2016 for acceptable means of compliance (AMC) and guidance materials. Andrea Boiardi, fixed wing expert in the EASA Operational Suitability group, said, “The whole aviation community has been working to identify solutions to reduce the number of LOC-I events.”

The EASA rulemaking group is taking “a holistic approach,” according to Boiardi. “We’re looking at the pilot career, starting from licensing to the airline pilot doing his recurrent training. The pilot needs to understand the dynamics, needs to understand the behavior of aircraft in general and their specific type at differ-

ent altitudes and in different conditions; for example, they need to understand the behavior in a stall.”

Brent Matthewson, EASA FSTD expert, noted there are already some objective requirements in the Agency’s certification specification for flight simulators, “not only up to stall warning but also looking at stall indications such as buffet and minimum stall speeds.”

One strong argument in favor of UPRT is that many pilots currently flying may have been taught techniques now deemed incorrect. And despite recent guidance emphasizing immediate angle of attack reduction, most still focus on airspeed and altitude. “We’ve been doing this wrong for a very long time,” stated the FAA’s Rob Burke, manager, Air Carrier Training Systems and Voluntary Safety Programs Branch (AFS-280), at the WATS 2014 conference.

In a study of B737-rated pilots last year, the FAA attempted to understand how the “startle factor” of an unexpected stall event could be applied in a simulator, where pilots obviously know there’s no danger of actually crashing. One major surprise was that fewer than one in four of the pilots applied the proper stall recovery procedure correctly, according to Dr. Jeff Schroeder, the agency’s chief scientific and technical adviser for flight simulation systems. Perhaps more shocking: most pilots reverted to the old, discredited response, worsening the stall.

Pilot Training Griffith University scientist Wayne Martin, who is also a B777 First Officer for Virgin Australia Airlines, told an ICAO symposium on LOC-I that, because pilots are rarely exposed to abnormal events during day-to-day flights, they rarely mentally rehearse potential responses to various crises – in effect, they are lulled to sleep. When a crisis does pop up, “lack of expectation has been shown to increase the level of startle” and “can result in significant and possibly critical performance degradations at a time when they are most needed.” Martin said research has shown significant impairment in information processing for up to 30 seconds. “Communication is often disorganized and incoherent for some time.”

Martin recommends pilots maintain “a healthy suspicion for abnormalities” and incorporating unexpected critical events during training.

UPRT Challenges The FAA extended envelope training mandate does not take effect until 2019. But there are some significant UPRT challenges to be discussed and resolved in the meantime.

One issue is whether in-aircraft training should be a requirement. “There is a huge discussion on what kind of aeroplane should be used and the correct risk it should have, and that is very much dependent on the level of upset that you want to reach,” EASA’s Boiardi told CAT. “ICAO has gone with, let’s say, a ‘soft’ approach not to mandate the use of aerobatic aeroplanes because most member States might not have the technology for that,” he noted. At EASA, “the discussion is ongoing what level of performance in terms of the aeroplane’s use should be mandated. The approach we are taking in this rulemaking group is to require more effective training for upset prevention and recovery, focusing of course on prevention and avoidance. The objective is for pilots to avoid finding themselves in an upset. We are looking to mandate requirements based on the technology that is available.”

Bombardier Flight Test Center senior test pilot Steve Stowe told the ICAO LOC-I symposium that his organization opted for in-aircraft upset training with UPRT specialist Advanced Performance Solutions (APS) because “the startle factor is far more real in an airplane. We can do a better job of ‘surprising’ FSTD trainees, but they won’t be ‘scared.’ There’s no ‘fear’ in a sim; you can always go on motion freeze and go on a coffee break.”

In an airplane, Stowe contrasted, a pilot can experience “actual g forces and sensations, including the startle/pucker factor of really having to get it right.”

Another significant area of debate is whether the aerodynamic model used in the simulator for stall training must be type-specific. “It seems in many cases the OEMs have that data because they are required under Part 125 certification to stall the aircraft, but whether the data is usable for simulation purposes or whether they’re willing to provide that data for other reasons is one of the challenges,” said TRU’s Takats, who has been very active in the LOC-I and UPRT international working groups.

“There are recommendations, since this is a training tool, that having very good representative data and a representative 16

C AT M AGA Z IN E 4 . 2 0 1 4

model that behaves like a swept-wing aircraft is going to be sufficient to train the appropriate maneuvers, things to do and things not to do.”

An FAA spokesperson told CAT, “The new proposed aerodynamic models will have wider fidelity envelopes.

That is, they will be more representative of the airplane out to higher angles of attack and sideslip than exist today in most cases. These improvements support stall recovery training almost exclusively, as much of the training that involves large attitudes can be accomplished with the existing aerodynamic models.”

Type-specific models to support stall training are certainly possible for some aircraft. Initial flight test data from Cessna for TRU’s CJ3 device enabled the simulator to be modeled to full stall capability and was subjectively evaluated by the Cessna pilot.

Frasca International has several flight models they have flown through high-alpha flight regimes, according to sales representative Randy Gawenda.

“The Level 6 Cessna 402C we are building for Cape Air Airlines included tests at over 20 degrees angle of attack and as low as 49 KIAS [Knots-Indicated Air Speed], which is deep into the stall regime. Level 6 requires an aircraft flight test as the qualification test guide must match the aircraft data very accurately.”

Takats thinks training the trainers is more critical than the necessary tech fixes. “The instructors today aren’t necessarily all adequately trained to be able to teach proper upset recovery tech-

niques. The instructors will have to go through significant training.”

Cockpit Changes Airlines and, to a certain extent, business aviation pilots are also having to adapt to new navigation and communication technology in their cockpits.

One example is the ground based augmentation system (GBAS) landing system, best known as GLS. “The flexibility you have with GLS is just incredible,” said Steve Schmidt, avionics subject matter expert for simulator and training provider FlightSafety International.

“One day it’s going to be a beautiful world when all the airports have GLS approaches.”

GBAS technology is available on newer transport aircraft models such as the Airbus A320, A330, A340, A350, and A380, Boeing 737NG, 747-8, and 787 aircraft. Among the airports which have implemented or plan to install GLS systems are Newark/Liberty and Houston/ Bush in the US; Bremen and Frankfurt in Germany; Zurich, Switzerland; Malaga, Spain; Chennai, India; and Sydney, Australia. Airline adoptees already include Qantas, Air Berlin, and United.

“GLS is limited to CAT I operations right now, but it certainly has capabilities for CAT II and CAT III,” Schmidt said. (The FAA is currently validating standards for a GBAS CAT-III minima service, projecting 2018 availability.) “If

you can create a technology solution that eliminates weather’s ability to limit your access to an airport, then weather becomes a non-issue.”

So what type of training is necessary for GLS? Schmidt: “To a pilot a GLS approach feels like an ILS approach.

The training can take 20 seconds for a pilot who already knows how to fly an ILS approach. The bigger training challenge for GLS is low visibility and how do you prepare for the transition from instruments to looking out the window?

What kind of [runway visual ranges] are required? How low can the ceiling be?

There’s a significant amount of training required before you can get a pilot ready for CAT II operations, and all of the training is centered around low-visibility operations, the transition from inside the cockpit to outside.”

For CAT III, Schmidt explained that a head-up display (HUD) is required with a smart flare cue and landing roll-out guidance. “You’re going to be landing on a runway where, looking out the window, you might see one or two centerline lights going by, and it would be very easy to get lost on the runway at 160 knots as you land.”

Technology Another newer cockpit technology is the text messaging datalink service between pilots and air traffic control, Controller-Pilot Data-Link Communications

(CPDLC), used for frequency changes, clearances, turns, headings, and other requests that don’t require voice communications.

FlightSafety not only makes the required CPDLC training available as a web-based iPad application, they’ve embedded the capability in some simulators as an initial training option.

“If you had asked me three years ago would we need to be in a simulator to train datalink, I would have said you’ve got two pilots staring at a display in the cockpit reading the text messages and answering them – why in the world would you need a visual system and motion in a full-flight simulator to do CPDLC training?” Schmidt asked.

“What I’ve learned, since I’ve done some training in the simulator, is that the pilots don’t get it until they’re immersed in the scenario. When you get them in the simulator and they take off out of Farnborough and they have to log onto London Center so they can do CPDLC with London and then they watch the transition to Shannon and then watch the transition to Shandwick and they do a little bit going across the ocean, they get it. Just a world of difference in their level of understanding, knowledge, and wisdom.”

Schmidt said some of the pilots previously used CPDLC in their aircraft before, “and they say to me, ‘Now I finally understand how it works.’” cat

Security

A Secure Field Several public and private entities are taking steps to enhance security training to make air transportation safer. Robert W. Moorman explores how security training has evolved since the terrorist attacks on 9/11 with a variety of industry perspectives.

M

ost governments worldwide require airlines, airports and other aviation related businesses to provide security training for those employees in safety and security positions. In many cases, the government provides a template for the training, while airlines and airports administer the curriculum or contract with private businesses that specialize in this training. What was once a cottage industry has morphed into a multi-million dollar business that continues to evolve as the security threat increases.

Chameleon Associates, the security consulting and training branch of the Chameleon Group, Inc. has, since 2004, provided security training at several airlines for pilots, flight attendants, ticket agents, and even TSA personnel. Threat assessment training is one of the more popular courses Chameleon offers.

“In order to conduct threat assessment, you have to know what is the threat, how would the adversary attack you in your particular position,” said Amotz Brandes, managing partner of Chameleon Associates and former profiler for El Al, the flag carrier of Israel. “If 18

CAT MAGAZINE 4.2014

you know that, you are a few steps ahead. It is what we call suspicion indicators.”

Take the ability to identify forged identification papers.

Brandes gave the example of an ID that had his photo and the reporter’s name as a suspicion indicator for an airline ticket agent or a US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security officer. The person standing in front of a security officer does not match the Anglo Saxon name on the ID. To some that practice might sound like profiling, to Brandes, this is a suspicion indicator.

Profiling passengers is controversial, particularly in the US. The debate on TV news programs might have a law enforcement official on one side of the argument debating someone from a passenger rights group, or the American Civil Liberties Union.

“The guests debate the two definitions of profiling and both are wrong,” said Brandes. “Profiling is basically threat assessment of an object, situation or a person. What you are profiling is the modus operandi (method of operation) that applies to the object, situation, or person.”

Whatever it is called, most countries already profile passengers coming into their country, said Brandes. The US classifies 14 countries at an elevated risk. So airline passengers coming from those countries are subject to extra scrutiny. These passengers are subject to a risk based assessment and screening, but it is not as effective without a threat assessment, he said.

All of these items are part of Chameleon’s security training program.

The training establishment has to recognize, and in some instances, change the mindset of governments, airlines and

Assessment Model So far, the US and other countries have yet to adopt the Israeli model of security/ threat assessment.

“Why has Israel’s method of threat assessment not caught on in the US and elsewhere?” asked Brandes. “It has nothing to do with legality or politics. It is about organizational structure of how airlines, airports and government based security organizations work.”

In Israel, the security related decision-making process is inverted. Meaning, the security officer or those airline or airport personnel charged with a security related duty have the capability and obligation to make a decision based on a threat assessment. The officer is person-

ally responsible and accountable for that decision, said Brandes.

In the US, TSA security officers operate within a designated command structure, in which the decision is pushed up to a supervisor typically. This could delay a decision and possibly cause that supervisor to make the wrong decision based on information that has been filtered through several layers.

“That needs to change,” said Brandes.

“I don’t think TSA security officers have that level of empowerment required to make the security related decisions.”

Michael R. Novak, TSA’s Assistant Administrator for Training and Workforce Engagement said one can’t compare the security screening and threat assessment methods between the US and Israel, whose security job is very small by comparison. “It is different. We have a huge job comparatively,” said Novak, who has trained at the Israel air marshal academy. “We also have to work within our Constitution.”

Threat assessment is not part of aviation security training typically, said

sometimes, french make things a little too complicated.

Brandes. Academics find this kind of training is too operationally oriented.

“They want to deal with it on a macro level, but aviation security is micro,” said Brandes. Case studies have shown that success stories in security comes when an “individual security officer or employee makes a decision,” he said.

Chameleon has trained pilots of various local chapters of the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA).

Security training of pilots is particularly important because they are the final decision makers as far as aircraft security is concerned.

On the cargo side, pilots have an equal, some say more important security role to play. All cargo airlines are not subject to the US law requiring the 100% screening of all belly cargo on commercial passenger airlines. Chameleon teaches pilots of passenger and cargo airlines how to conduct questioning and assess possible trouble.

Whatever security training is taught must be accompanied by procedures training. “The procedures drive the skill

airports as it relates to security training, said Brandes. This applies particularly in the area of threat assessment. Chameleon Associates follows the Israeli training model for threat assessment.

Chameleon teaches the security officer or designated employee to be more proactive in assessing the threat.

Security

Independent Training Providers James Termini first became aware of the need for security training when flying long haul flights for an airline to countries that were sorely in need of better security at airports. Termini is CEO of Redline Aviation Security Ltd., one of several UK-government approved suppliers of aviation security training. Established in 2006, Doncaster, South Yorkshire-based Redline provides security training for airport and airline airport managers and personnel worldwide.

Security courses range from handling disruptive passengers; what to do in the event of a hijacking; how to search an aircraft on the ground and in flight; response to incidents on the ground and in flight; and how to answer questions posed by investigators and the news media.

Redline’s operating security training for most employees is one day; half-day CBT recurrency training is provided via the Internet or led by an instructor in the classroom. The company does not differentiate between the flight deck and cabin crew, both receive identical training.

Redline does not offer train-thetrainer (TTT) programs in the UK, which is delivered by the government, said Termini.

However, the company has provided TTT programs in Poland and for a few airlines in the Eastern Caribbean region. The airlines include Polish airline Winn and Leeward Islands Air Transport or (LIAT) Airlines, based in Antigua.

Redline offers a security training course titled, Aviation Security for Senior Management, tailored to airline and airport chief

executives and chief financial officers, who might have come to their jobs from outside the aviation industry.

“These people might have no concept of what their legal liabilities are,” said Termini. “Once they realize that people can go to jail for security lapses, they know it’s real.”

Termini said the training is particularly useful to finance directors, who after the course become more likely to “open up the purse strings” on security related equipment and training.

As part of its growth plans, Redline is moving ahead with plans to provide its quality assurance security program to other regions. It is considering the development of quality assurance programs at San Francisco International Airport and South Dakota’s Sioux Falls Regional, two airports that have opted out of TSA’s security control. These two airports are part of the TSA Screening Partnership Program, or SPP, which allows airports to use qualified private vendors to perform the screening of passengers and baggage. The Program was designed to meet the requirement for the “opt-out” provision in the Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001.

Other UK government approved security training organizations include: BFBS Consultants Ltd, Chertsey Surrey; Global Air Training, Tattenhall, Cheshire; Gatwick Airport Ltd., Gatwick, West Sussex; Heathrow Airport, Hounslow, Middlesex; Queltex Ltd, Isle of Man; Airlock Aviation Ltd., Watlington, Oxon; and G4S Aviation Security (UK) Ltd., Hayes, Middlesex. – Robert W.

derived from the security training,” said Brandes. “Without the procedures, the security perishes. It is not just about the training.”

Collaboration Chameleon Associates and IMI Academy, an Israeli government owned and operated training center near Tel Aviv are collaborating on a new executive seminar to be held in Israel from October 18-25, 2014.

In addition to its reputation for effective security, Israeli security professionals “are unusually open about sharing information,” according to a marketing piece on the IMI Academy. The seminar agenda will offer students new site visits and training modules that show the Israeli security model in action. The agenda also offers student valuable insight to the following subjects: • Active shooter scenario response • VIP security • Krav Maga (close contact, self defense method) • Israeli shooting technique • Proactive threat assessment and security questioning • Security officer tactical and cognitive training requirements • Terrorist capabilities • Protecting academic campuses • Emergency preparedness – at both municipal and national levels.

Maintaining a Security Culture Security training at Deutsche Lufthansa AG (LH) depends on the occupation group, according to Daniel Chudaska,

JETPUBS

senior manager Aviation Security. For cockpit and cabin crews, “a special module” security training is conducted in the classroom and repeated annually. LH has dedicated classes for handling of disruptive passengers, the most common threat to passengers and crew. This training is on top of legal training requirements specified in national and EU regulations.

Ground staff, which includes checkin staff, receive web-based security training, which is repeated regularly. Administrative and management personnel all receive the same extensive security training. This also applies to Lufthansa employees not working in Germany. It is mandatory to regularly complete Lufthansa’s own security computer based training (CBT).

Lufthansa also requires contract employees, such as handling agents, to complete the Lufthansa Security CBT. “Security is of paramount importance,” said Chudaska. “Which is why we not only buy third-party training software, but develop training software ourselves.” Lufthansa has its own trainers certified by Germany’s national civil aviation authority, which is responsible for the development of different course content.

The European Union Regulation 185/2010 sets standards for security training, and different requirements are set for various occupation groups.

“Lufthansa goes beyond these requirements,” said Chudaska.

The airline takes a holistic approach to security training. “It is vital not only to see one’s own field and environment, but get an idea of the whole picture and see what others are doing as well.”

Lufthansa allows its ground staff to know what the flight crews do in terms of security. “Our goal is not only to provide security training, but to establish and maintain a security culture within Lufthansa.”

Flight Deck Training The Airline Pilots Association, International would like to continue adequate federal funding for the Federal Flight Deck Officers (FFDO) program and a wider use of self- defense training at airlines.

At present, the US federal govern-

ment provides approximately $25 million annually for handgun training under the FIDO program and to administer the voluntary four-hour Crewmember Self Defense Training (CSDT) program. The Federal Air Marshal Service administers both programs. Of the $25 million, $1.2 million is earmarked for CSDT training.

The self-defense program helps aircrews, which includes pilots and flight attendants, establish a mindset and learn what is required to defend them. Keeping situational awareness is also part of the training.

“I would like to see mandatory selfdefense training for all newly hired air crews,” said Capt. Fred Eisler, Aviation Security Chairman for ALPA, which represents 32 airlines.

Each year, ALPA has to battle Congress for FFDO funding, said Eisler, who declined for security reasons to provide the number of pilots that have participated in the program since it began in 2003.

The FFDO program trains FFDOs on the use of firearms, use of force, defensive tactics, the psychology of survival and program operating standard procedures.

The program is taught at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, New Mexico.

“FFDO is an effective and efficient program that should continue to be funded adequately,” said Eisler. The comparative cost of having an Air Marshal and a FFDO, the Captain and/or First Officer, on one flight is around $3,000 and $17 respectively, according to the union.

To further bolster security training, ALPA is in the process of developing videos for its members that will deal with mindset, hotel and off-site security, “go bags” and crewmember self defense. The videos, to be distributed in August 2014, provide general instruction on how to be aware of your environment outside of the airport perimeter as well as dealing with a security related event.

All Part 121 carriers are required by TSA to provide some level of security training for certain groups of employees, including pilots, flight attendants and front-line airline personnel. But any kind of enhanced security training is voluntary and to the airlines.

Security “It needs to start at the individual carriers,” said First Officer Darrin Dorn, ALPA Security Chairman for ALPA’s Master Executive Council, Alaska Airlines (AA-MEC). “Often it comes down to a question of time and money.”

Several carriers are looking at incorporating a self-defense training module into their security training programs for flight crewmembers, said ALPA. Regional carriers Compass Airlines, a whollyowned subsidiary of Trans States Holdings Inc. and Pinnacle Airlines, which both operate on behalf of several major airlines, are said to have incorporated the self-defense training module into their enhanced security training programs.

IATA The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has provided security training for many years. The Association’s security courses range from Airport Security Operations Optimization, Air Cargo Security and Aviation Security

The organization also awards diplomas for Aviation Security Management, Aviation Security Operations and Aviation Security Screening.

Eli Mandelaway, Product Manager of Aviation Security and Ismail Albaidhani, Head of Global Partnerships and Learning Innovation talked with CAT recently about IATA’s multiple security related course offerings.

CAT: Why did IATA start providing security related courses?

Eli Mandelaway: We felt it was very important to review civil aviation threats and responses prior to and after 9/11.

An important foundation for our security training was to review the evolution of regulatory legislation on an interna-

tional level. This continues to provide a good foundation for developing courses.

The need for aviation security awareness training has become greater since the security regulations have been tightened. Many airports and airlines are required by regulation to take aviation security awareness training as part of their job.

CAT: How does IATA decide what security courses should be taught?

EM: The basis for our training is derived from security related regulations and industry resolutions that come from different IATA working groups. We know to tailor specific security training according to national requirements. We analyze the threat to civil aviation and review past threats. We look at the fundamental elements of training, such as airport security, access control, baggage screening and airside security. We go into depth for risk analysis and threat assessment.

Noted Security Trainers Among the numerous organizations worldwide that provide aviation security training are those which use the Internet as a primary educational tool. Quadratica UK is one provider whose courses include x-ray training for cargo, basic screener courses, security training for airport suppliers, security training for known consignors, mailroom threat awareness training, and a telephone bomb threat course.

Quadratica UK’s X-Screen systems are available in the classroom system and via the Internet. The company claims to be the first to take advantage of “ground breaking technology” that provide customers with a web-based product that uses the same x-ray images displayed on real x-ray machines. Users can log in to Quadratica’s secure site and take training sessions on x-ray simulators and online courses. Quadratrica UK’s General Security Awareness Training (GSAT) course is fully DfT compliant, replete with comprehensive instruction and assessment. The online course features a modulated interactive CBT course with voiceover and supporting written text.

Aviation security training is required of all UK airlines, and among the courses recommended by the CAA are aircrew instructor courses, ground crew instructor courses, air cargo security training and in-flight supplies security training.

In Europe, Camas Training, a French company, provides a 28-hour security course for screening agents, supervisors and security managers. The course is taught at the training center and at the customer’s location. The course covers aviation security history and current trends; aviation security legislation; explosives and improvised explosive devices (IEDs); x-ray screening skills; x-ray screening equipment and methods; inner workings of screening 22

CAT MAGAZINE 4.2014

equipment; cargo and mail screening techniques; heat and safety using detection technology; identifying weapons and IEDs in an x-ray; screening packed luggage and cargo packages; and practice on an x-ray simulator.

Camas also offers individual airport security training courses.

They include: basic training (EU185/2010); aircraft security searches; aircraft protection; baggage reconciliation; air cargo & air mail; security awareness training; general security awareness; airport security x-ray basic training; airport security x-ray recurrent training; and aviation security management.

In North America, training companies worth noting include HSS Aviation Security Services, a Denver-based security firm, specializing in proprietary training in aviation security, anti-terrorism and behavioral recognition. These programs, which are distinctly different from the typical security officer training, are designed to meet “the intricacies of airport facility security” and ensure that the airport’s security program is in compliance with the requirements of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

“All the training is tailor-made for that specific airport,” said Michael Lanham, Senior Vice President Aviation and Government Services Division – HSS. “Our training is ever evolving.”

Lanham said HSS reviews the syllabus every year for possible updating. The company claims to be one of the larger providers of aviation security services at US airports. Airports served by HSS personnel include: Denver International Airport, Orlando International Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, San Diego International Airport, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and others – Robert W. Moorman

CAT: Has IATA enhanced its security training over the years?

Ismail Albaidhani: Security training has expanded in those regions where national and international security regulations were tightened. This led to the development of some of our new training programs.

CAT: What is the origin of the Harvard ManageMentor security course with Harvard University?

IA: Back in 2008, we decided to form a partnership with Harvard Business School Publishing, using its content for developing leaders. This included the development of communications skills, management skills and integrates those components within different technical courses. Security was one of those courses.

CAT: Is IATA security training geared mainly toward management?

EM: A large number of our courses are geared toward the supervisory management level. These courses deal with a common ground on aviation security. We do provide courses for operational personnel, such as screening operations, checkpoint management, and unruly passengers. These courses require more specific requirements. They are not, however, the majority of our portfolio.

CAT: Does IATA provide the training in-house or does it partner with other organizations, such as independent training providers?

EM: IATA provides classroom security training at its centers in Singapore, Miami, Montreal, Beijing, London, and Rome and at other locations. IATA also provides training at the client’s location.

IA: We cannot do all the training by ourselves. IATA has a limited presence in some regions. So we build partnerships with training organizations from various regions.

CAT: Does technology help with your security training?

EM: We do use innovative technologies in a couple of our security training courses. For example, we use a scanner simulator for identifying threats in cargo or baggage. We also use simulators for high-level security training courses and to improve decisionmaking skills regarding security.

CAT: What new training methodologies for security training has IATA developed?

IA: We started with a traditional training format and evolved to providing customized course content. In the last three years, IATA launched its e-learning training.

The goal is to try and blend all the forms of security training, whereby we include the general training as well as customized content based on case studies for a specific client. In addition, IATA continually measures the impact of the training, which includes reviewing the pass rate of students and the qualitative feedback from the customer.

EM: We’ve added role-playing to security training. In addition to an instructor, IATA provides an actor (a training officer typically) to simulate a disruptive passenger or a hijacking scenario.

The training is performed in a classroom, aircraft mockup or real aircraft. cat

eLEARNING

Teaching with Technology – Top 4 Trends Dr. Suzanne Kearns, University of Western Ontario, examines the four main instructional technology trends that are influencing training.

W

hen it comes to technology in the classroom, instructors may fall into one of two camps: 1) those who fight technology and are frustrated that learners are continually distracted by their devices, or 2) those who view technology as a tool which has the possibility to enhance learning. Whether you fall into the first or the second camp, the goal of teaching remains the same: produce the most effective and engaging learning experience while remaining cost-effective for your organization.

With this in mind, the goal of this article is to countdown four instructional technology trends that are impacting classrooms in a variety of industries and describe how you might use these tools in your teaching.

sity courses that are designed for an unlimited number of participants. MOOCs have become very popular in a very short amount of time with hundreds of courses popping up from many universities, including Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

In the midst of all this hype, not all MOOCs have been successful. On average, only 2% of people who sign up for a MOOC actually complete the course. Many students complain that the style of the course, which often consists of video-recorded lectures, does not work well for online learning. Others question the usefulness of this type of course in industries like aviation which require certification of learning for regulatory purposes.

It is difficult to verify the identity of learners during assessments to prevent cheating.

Takeaway Points – The important point to consider is that the next generation of learners is accustomed to the open sharing of information. Within your organization, is it feasible to offer some free knowledge online (through an organizational blog, e-learning courses, or webcasts)? This may be done as a public service, for self-promotion, or just to encourage the next generation of aviation professionals to join our great industry.

#4 Trend – ‘Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC’s)’

#3 Trend – Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Those who consider themselves ‘gamers’ are likely familiar with the concept of Massive Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs). MMOGs have been around for many years, allowing thousands of players to control online digital avatars within a massive virtual world. Within the last two years, this concept has moved to University teaching with the creation of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). MOOCs are free online univer-

When many of us were students, wireless communication referred to passing notes to others in the class. Likewise, the biggest distraction probably was falling into a daydream while staring out a window. The classroom environment has changed dramatically and learners are now facing weapons of mass distraction on their web-enabled devices. This is not an issue that is limited to the next generation – as it is common to see both younger and older generations distracted by their technology in a classroom.

So what can be done? As instructors, we need to recognize that our learners are only 1-click away from a massive amount

24

CAT MAGAZINE 4.2014

Above As instructors, we need to recognize that our learners are only 1-click away from a massive amount of information.

of information. Rather than fight against this technology, it is possible to design learning activities that use these devices to accomplish training objectives.

Takeaway Points – There are several ways to incorporate web-devices into your teaching. One method is the use of WiFi clickers, which allow instructors to post questions on the board and students submit their response using their devices. There are a variety of free and subscription-based clicker systems on the market. This allows for a more interactive classroom as instructors can continually see how well learners understand the content. Another way to use technology is to give learners cases or problems and ask them to search out the answer on their own, using their devices.

This type of learning activity mimics the way a person is likely to answer a question in the real-world, and thus is likely to develop competency.

#2 Trend – ‘Not All e-Learning is Equal’ E-Learning is no longer a new idea. Com-

Adaptive/personalized e-learning that customizes course content and difficulty to individual learners

puter-based training has been around for a few decades now and many of the questions we once pondered, such as what makes e-learning effective, have been answered through research. For example, we know that people learn more and can pay attention longer if e-learning incorporates both words and pictures, uses a voiceover with a conversational tone, uses avatar (coach) characters, and is organized into short chunks.

There is also a lot of data surrounding how long it takes to develop and build e-learning courses. Based on this data, we categorize different ‘levels’ of e-learning based on the amount of interactive exercises and how long it takes to build. In the next table, the development hours refer to how many hours it takes to build one completed hour of training.

For example, it takes an average of 40 hours to build one hour of instructor-led

eLEARNING classroom training while it takes an average of 80 hours to build one hour of Level 1 e-learning. See Figure 1.

Level 4 e-learning refers to datadriven adaptive e-learning. Perhaps the easiest way to understand this is to recall your last shopping experience online.

When you completed your purchase, did the platform make “suggestions” about other items you may be interested in based on your purchasing history? This customization is something that is moving into aviation e-learning. Adaptive e-learning will eliminate the need for people to sit through hours of courseware that is not relevant to them (or that they have already mastered). Instead, the platform tracks each learner’s successes and failures and provides them with just the content that they need when they need it. Although adaptive platforms have yet to be fully integrated into aviation training, they are beginning to gain a foothold in training in other industries and are likely to play a big role in the future of aviation training.

Takeaway Points – How can you maximize the quality and effectiveness of e-learning within your organization?

Review your existing courseware and look to see if it uses good media principles (avatars, voice-overs, words and pictures, etc.). If not, small changes could result in big improvements. Also, when possible, choose higher-level e-learning courses as they present a better value.

For example, a Level 3 course sold for $5,000 is a better value than a Level 1 course sold for $4,500 as it will probably result in better learning. To identify higher levels of e-learning, look for a higher number of interesting interactive exercises and simulations.

#1 Trend – ‘Train Smarter – Not Harder’ Many training managers face the decision of whether to teach a subject in a classroom or online. The reality is that this is a trick question. We know that the best learning outcomes are achieved with a blended approach that uses both e-learning and classroom training for what each is best at teaching. For example: 1. Computer-based pre-training can be completed before a learner visits the 26

training center so that they arrive with a predictable level of knowledge 2. Classroom training allows expert instructors to explain difficult concepts and answer questions – as well as simulator activities 3. At-home practice using e-tutors or desktop simulators reinforces training concepts following classroom training 4. Group problem solving in the classroom, with people from different employee groups, ie pilots, flight attendants, and maintenance, allows learners to practice applying ‘book-smarts’ to real world problems 5. After training is complete, extension of what has been learned throughout the year through short weekly or bi-weekly courses can reduce forgetting or distribute information on current events or incidents (such as 5-7 minute e-learning snap-courses or electronic newsletters) .

This blended approach has been shown to result in a 12% lower failure rate, 45% increase in enrollment, and a 31% cost savings per learner compared to a traditional training approach with primarily face-to-face instruction. (See Figure 2. Note – the blue represents training center/face-to-face instruction while the white bars are electronic/independent activities) Takeaway Points – How can you apply a “smarter” training strategy in your organization? Perhaps starting with the replacement of some classroom training with online courses (or, if you have a smaller budget, with assigned readings and an online quiz that learners must pass before coming to training).

Incorporating group critical thinking/problem solving exercises is a good way to enhance the quality of training. Lastly, after learners leave training, reduce forgetting by refreshing content throughout the year.

Overall, it is important to remember that technology should not drive teaching. Technology should be used only when it helps an instructor and organization accomplish instructional objectives. With that in mind, there are an ever increasing number of options for instructors to creatively use technology and extend their teaching capabilities beyond the four walls of a classroom. cat

Pilot Training

Looking to the Future Chris Long examines ab Initio pilot training providers in the Asia Pacific region and looks at some of the issues and challenges they have to deal with.

I

t has been recognised for some time that the growth of pilot demand in Asia would require considerable changes to the then existing pilot training infrastructure in the region. Whilst there were some relatively small flying clubs/schools which provided basic training, there were comparatively few centres where fully professional training could be carried out on the industrial scale needed to supply the very large number of new pilots.

That number is continually being revised upwards; the 2013 Boeing forecast estimated that the regional aircraft fleet will triple in the period 2014 to 2033 (from 5,500 aircraft to 15,000), so the number of crews will have to grow at a rate to meet that demand. Boeing also predicted that the number of pilots required for the region over the next 20 years would top 190,000 – the indications are that this year that number will again increase.

Singapore Solution Whilst training providers around the world have been quick to step up towards this challenge, unsurprisingly 28

C AT M AGA Z IN E 4 . 2 0 1 4

the region itself has not been standing still. Starting from what was admittedly a low base, the surge in Aviation Training Organisations (ATOs) established in the region continues. Kevin Khoo, president ST Aerospace Academy, based in Singapore, has a very clear understanding of that market, and believes that the consolidation of regional ATOs, through expansion and airline buyouts, has provided the large scale investment in training which is now building towards a level able to sustain the necessary pilot supply.

Furthermore, those new and re-invigorated ATOs do not have the burden of legacy systems and equipment, and where freed by the regulators to do so, have quickly embraced new technology and instructional methods. Certainly considerations of access to airspace and cost continue to encourage some outsourcing to the USA and Australia. Whilst China can presently furnish some 70% of its present needs, and probably 50-60% of future demand, the number of students who need to go offshore for their training is more than sufficient to have other training suppliers vying for that trade. Australia and Malaysia are virtually self-sufficient in training capacity, as are both Thailand and Singapore. It should be noted, though, that increasingly countries are taking direct responsibility for those external operations.

Another issue has been the ability of the industry to attract new entrants of the right quality - and it is here that some variation in national attitudes within the region emerge. The principle of selection is now well understood, and where it is applied the quality of cadet pilots can be pretty much assured. A case in point is China, where the cadets are of a uniformly high standard. Aviation English is always a challenge, but can be overcome. Admittedly, trawling from a huge population group means that there

Above Where cadet selection is applied the quality of pilots can be pretty much assured.

is plenty of choice, but the end result is that plenty of talented applicants end up in the system. Elsewhere the pull of other high-tech and rewarding industries compete with aviation to attract the brightest and best, and this has a significant impact, but even with that in mind, only suitable candidates begin the courses.

Khoo's considerable experience has led him to the firm belief that another factor is critical to the industry's long term needs. It is not enough simply to recruit new entrants - these pilots need to be retained to stabilise and build the long-term numbers. The key to this is an individual's passion for the industry.

Khoo looks not just to the immediate potential, but to at least a 5 year period, by which time he notes a significant difference in performance in day to day operation between those who "merely" satisfy the mandated task, and those who have a real passion for the profession. The latter have a mindset which is constantly assessing and seeking improvement. This results in a deeper understanding of the basics and a willing adoption of improved systems and operating standards, and consequently, much increased operational effectiveness and resilience in the face of unexpected in-flight challenges. He would select a competent but passionate candidate over a brilliant student who is not fully engaged.

Whilst STAA is providing CPL/IR courses when requested by the customer, the accent is very much on the MPL syllabus. These can, and indeed must, be customised to the airline, but that process, whilst laborious in the production of checklists and airline policy, is not complicated. With the three parties (STAA/Airline/ Regulator) closely working together, MPL courses have already been run for the Airbus A320, and ongoing projects are focussing on equivalents for the Boeing 737NG. The resounding success of the initial courses for Tiger Airways has provided a solid base, not just for new customers, but for iterations to further improve the course. Khoo attributed this success to the strong support and

confidence of Tiger Airways and Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore. One of the major attributes of the MPL course is that, because it uses a high proportion of FTD with various capabilities, including FFS, it is far less subject to disruption due to bad weather, so that course scheduling and progress becomes much more efficient.

One of the advantages of STAA being part of a large company, ST Aerospace, is that there are major resources which are being applied to R&D, so that new devices are being designed and will be manufactured to support the training programmes.

CTC Aviation One example of the evolution of training in Asia is the encouraging expansion

EUROPEAN PILOT SELECTION & TRAINING is able to offer airlines and training organization customers a complete training solution with a philosophy that is unique in the industry. EPST has an excellent reputation when it comes to quality: independent surveys run by pilot unions metrics reveal EPST has the highest score when it comes to successful pilot placement. This is achieved by a unique combination of the Ab Initio and the Airline Jet Foundation Course using experienced line captains and fixed based type specific B737-NG and A320 platforms.

in the Asian market of CTC Aviation.

Based in the UK, but needing access to more training facilities to cope with growing European demand, CTC Aviation looked further afield. The climate, air traffic system and English language base in New Zealand was identified as virtually replicating the European, in particular UK, training environment, so that training there could be seamlessly integrated into the course. Anthony Petteford, Group Chief Commercial Officer, is clear that the purpose-built facility at Hamilton, New Zealand, was primed to take the excess capacity from the UK base, principally to complete the practical (flight) phase of the course, and then the "natural" expansion was envisaged as addressing the domestic markets in New Zealand and Australia. It is the evolution of this plan that neatly illustrates the consequences of the growth in the Asian market and its demand for more pilots. The immediate follow-on turned out to be not so much the predicted domestic market, but rather a newly identified demand for a regional source of the well-respected European training model.

The relative proximity of New Zealand (certainly some way away from parts of Asia, but still close in shared Asian identity) is very attractive. The

principle of having a known, respected and approved product so readily accessible has drawn a good number of Asian airlines, such as the Jetstar Group, Dragonair and Royal Brunei and, through a partnership with Oberlin University, Peach, Japan Airlines and ANA, and the list will certainly not stop there. The next step is now underway, with that original planned "Domestic" market now looking to CTC Aviation.

Petteford notes that "What is particularly interesting is that this choice was not primarily driven by price. The style of training, which embraces European quality and integrity, has proved to be very attractive to these Asian airlines. The growth here has also led to the establishment of full ground school facilities so that trainees need not be sent to Europe for any part of the course. Regulatory authorities with oversight responsibility for the sponsoring airlines have issued approval for the courses carried out here in New Zealand. In addition, a by-nomeans insignificant additional bonus of this location is the close proximity of all the lifestyle attractions for which New Zealand is rightly famous. Extra-curricular activities, such as team building, in which "soft" skills essential to the pilot's career can be carried out in the most attractive of locations"

In part to manage the continuing demand from Asia, particularly from China and India, CTC Aviation has recently opened up a facility in Phoenix, Arizona. This will use the CTC Aviation template to furnish the European model of intensive training to an even broader market.

Future View In what may be the clearest prediction of the future of ab initio pilot training in the region, Khoo states that "I am convinced, as is STAA, that MPL will be the dominant training methodology in 5-10 years.

The "classic" CPL/IR is no longer as effective in preparing professional pilots for the current and future generation of aircraft. Not only are the syllabus and technologies sometimes inappropriate, but a significant proportion of the skills and technology have to be "unlearnt" in order to operate present aircraft effectively. With an MPL system the entire 18 month training process, including a Type Rating, is focussed on technology and skills essential for competent operation, whereas a CPL/IR graduate has to pack all this knowledge into, at most, a six month top up course which includes an additional Type Rating. Beyond a shadow of doubt MPL is very effective and must be the way forward." cat

Maintenance Training

Beyond Learning Technology Group Editor Marty Kauchak examines the maintenance community’s commitment to aligning its training activities with regulatory agency and other organizations’ protocols and standards.

M

aintenance, repair and overhaul organizations, air carriers and other organizations are bolstering the efficiency and effectiveness of their training.

While readers of CAT and viewers of the Halldale website (www.halldale.com) are aware of the rapid evolution in learning technologies supporting the community’s maintainers, there are other more subtle, but as significant developments shaping training and education. This article focuses on the commitment of two representative organizations, Delta TechOps and Aerolíneas Argentinas S.A., to ensure their courses and curricula conform to regulatory agency, national and other standards.

Conformance to Regulatory Guidelines Delta TechOps is the largest airline MRO in North America and the third largest 32

CAT M AGA Z INE 4 . 2 0 1 4

worldwide. The business unit’s portfolio includes delivering third-party instruction from an expanding catalogue of courses to prospective and veteran maintainers in the public and private sectors.

The company’s public sector training customers include the US Air Force, for the Air Force Two (B757 fleet), and the US Navy for its militarized B737 aircraft.

Pete Compitello, a manager for Delta TechOps Training, told CAT this June that his business unit’s diverse civil sector customers include Lockheed Martin (for human factors training), Hawaiian Airlines (A330 training), along with other aviation and airline customers from around the world. The training organization’s aircraft courses cover a wide array of skill sets – from IPC soldering to composite material repair.

The Atlanta-based industry veteran provided several compelling reasons for a second-tier contractor, another MRO or other customers to request maintenance training services from Delta TechOps. “They come to us because the manufacturer may not provide or cannot offer hands-on training for that model aircraft,” he noted and recalled that in one instance Delta TechOps responded to a carrier’s short-notice training requirement. “An airline was purchasing B777s and had a two week, hands-on training package they had to complete for

their authority. Boeing couldn’t provide it so they came to us – and we did provide it.”

Delta TechOps also offers prospective customers its operational experience gained from a diverse aircraft fleet – from McDonnell Douglas, to Airbus, to Boeing. “We only provide third party training for those aircraft types which we fly. We have a vast amount of operational experience with these aircraft and we put that real-life experience into our training,” Compitello emphasized.

As significant, Delta Tech Ops’ courses are conformant to FAA and EASA regulatory guidelines – a business model decision that resonates well elsewhere in the civil aviation sector. Indeed, this is one thread of commonality this organization will be shown to share with Aerolíneas Argentinas later in this article.

The industry subject matter expert pointed out the significance of conforming to regulatory agency standards permits the training “to follow” an aircraft through the repair life cycle. “So if British Airways/KLM puts an aircraft into an MRO, that organization’s maintainers have to be trained equivalent to or greater than that airline’s authority’s requirements level,” he added.

An Airline’s Perspective Aerolíneas Argentinas has a rapidly expanding business portfolio. In one instance the air carrier met its internal forecast and expectations to transport more than eight million passengers in 2013. Engineer Marcelo Ariel González Kiryczun, the airline’s Technical Training and Certifications manager, further told CAT that in order to reach this objective his company concurrently is increasing the number of units and rebuilding its fleet, with a training and certification plan for all pilots and maintenance personnel.

The state-owned, flag carrier of Argentina has a diverse fleet consisting of 63 units of the following models: Airbus A340-200/300, Airbus A330-200, Boeing 737-700/-800 and Embraer E190.

“We expect to reach a total of 73 units soon, in accordance with our business plan,” Kiryczun predicted.

Not surprising, Aerolíneas Argentinas has its own repair station/maintenance organization, which has been in place since the airline’s founding. The air carrier’s cadre of technicians perform maintenance repairs and overhauling of aircraft, engines, auxiliary power units and other components of the carrier’s business fleet and, of special note, those of other neighboring companies.

Similar to his industry colleague at Delta TechOps, Kiryczun emphasized the foundation for his airline’s maintenance portfolio is conformance to agency regulations and standards.

“To such end, it has been certified under Argentine and foreign regulations, firstly as Repairs Aeronautical Shop under RAAC Part 145 (ANAC regulations), secondly as approved foreign Repair Station under FAR Part 145 (FAA regulations), and

The backbone of Aerolíneas Argentinas' maintenance successes are its prospective and current maintainers.

Maintenance Training thirdly as approved Maintenance Organization under EASA Part 145 (EASA regulations),” he explained.

The industry subject matter expert further noted that most of Aerolíneas Argentinas’ routine and emergency tasks are completed by its maintenance personnel in its facilities (five hangars, engines and components shops and one more hangar in building process). “These are based on two main stations located in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina; with a population of more than 1,600 mechanics, specialists and professionals (personnel to be constantly trained),” he said and added, “Also, since we fly to more than 58 destinations (32 domestic stations and other 26 international/ regional), we have almost 190 maintenance mechanics around the world (own personnel and third party hired ones).”

In the life-cycle of an aircraft, certain preventive and corrective maintenance activities are often completed outside the lifelines of the parent airline’s maintenance department. Such is the case of Aerolíneas Argentinas where engine heavy maintenance and other specific components repairs, are delivered to other third party organizations (as Air France Industries, Lufthansa Technik, and other approved MROs) with an important caveat: when maintenance is furnished by third party organizations, the entities must provide Aerolíneas Argentinas with Argentina’s authority acceptance/approval under RAAC Part 145, and foreign ones as FAA under Part 145 and/or EASA under Part 145 certifications (based on aeronautic product type and component rating).

CAT M AGA Z INE 4 . 2 0 1 4

And there is also a training perspective, with Aerolíneas Argentinas mandating the third party organization’s personnel must be trained and certified under every agency approved training program, including EASA Part 147/66 initial theoretical training (if an EASA organization) and EASA/FAR Part 145 for shop practical and recurrent training (under MROapproved training program). The airline executive pointed out, “This is part of our quality assurance and auditing department acceptance process,” and added, “But in most of the cases, our effort is focused on trying to certify our organization and personnel, based on new investments cost-benefit analysis.”

While Aerolíneas Argentinas makes every effort to deliver “in house” the instruction throughout its maintainers’ continuum of learning (indoctrination, initial, specialized, recurrent and remedial or compensation) based on aerospace industry standards and agencies’ regulations, there are instances when training must be delivered by another organization.

Kiryczun explained in detail that to choose the most appropriate external supplier or source for Aerolíneas Argentinas’ requirements, the airline established a sub-classification method for suppliers to differentiate and qualify possible offers. For this reason, the sources providing training which is authorized based on its own formal approval, condition or certification, are called “primary training sources”. The sources which do not comply with such conditions are audited and assessed by Aerolíneas Argentinas to assure that their train-

ing will include appropriate objectives, content information, resources, quality standards, approvals and certifications.

“The mentioned auditing process includes a revision of the training provided, scheme and materials used, a possible consultation with other clients, a revision of the instructor’s qualifications and experience, and finally, the approvals and/or certifications which support the supplier,” he added.

Aerolíneas Argentinas’ Technical Training Center is a certified aeronautical training center recognized by the national civil aviation national administration of the Argentine Republic. It is also a National Committee of Communications-approved institute; and this technical training center becomes the technical training and certifications department of the Repairs Aeronautical Shop under RAAC Part 145 (ANAC), approved foreign Repair Station under FAR Part 145 (FAA), and approved Maintenance Organization under EASA Part 145 (EASA).

The airline official modestly pointed out, “Our company has more than 30 years of experience offering training to several market companies and to our own personnel, who nowadays work repairing aircrafts, engines, APUs and aeronautical components of our business fleet. Additionally, the center’s instructor staff has significant experience, knowledge, qualifications and certifications on several airplanes, engines, APUs, specialized training and components; which not only allow us to provide a high quality service to our customers but also satisfy their expectations.”

Delta TechOps' courses conform to FAA and EASA guidelines – a policy that resonates well elsewhere in the civil aviation sector.

Aerolíneas Argentinas’ customers are, in most of the cases, regional air operators, including Tame, Bahamas Air, Boliviana de Aviación, Argentine Presidency, Conviasa (for training and line maintenance services) and all other air operators that fly to Argentina; and other customers such as New Business Aero (for engine shop training); and its international stations’ maintenance providers such as Avianca (Bogota, Colombia), Miami Tech (Miami), Aeroservice 3000 (Caracas, Venezuela) and AISG (Cancun, Mexico).

On the Horizon One aerospace official who declined to go on the record to support this article did acknowledge in early July that nations with lower labor costs and other economic advantages provide a compelling business case for attracting an MRO. At the same

time, the maintainers at these facilities will need training to allow the organization to meet industry, national and agency, standards and regulations, he acknowledged.

And for other reasons, Compitello foresees a constant, but evolving demand for third-party maintenance training through the next several years. “With the new aircraft types, the airlines are tending to send their maintainers to the OEMs for training. But there will still be a need for third party new aircraft training, and the OEMs are not supporting some of the older fleets as much as they are the newer aircraft. There is still a market for that type of training,” he pointed out.

New Delta TechOps course offerings for third party line maintenance students include aircraft trouble shooting, wiring termination, wiring principles, and others. Compitello concluded, “And while there will always be aircraft-specific repair courses, there will continue to be a demand for niche-type instruction – for troubleshooting, welding and other skillsets.” cat

CAbin Crew Training

Safety First Cabin crew training continues to evolve as new rules and regulations come into effect.

Fiona Greenyer takes a closer look at just a few of the emergent practices.

T

he International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has revised the Cabin Crew Safety Training Manual (Doc 10002) to provide more up to date guidance regarding cabin crew initial and recurrent safety training. The manual has been developed in conjunction with a joint Regulatory-Industry group, the ICAO Cabin Safety Group (ICSG), composed of safety experts from civil aviation authorities, airlines, aircraft manufacturers and international organizations. There was also additional participation from members of the ICAO Medical Provisions Study Group (MPSG) and the IATA Medical Advisory Group (MAG) on Cabin Health and First Aid. The ICSG serves as the expert group, providing advice to ICAO on cabin safety-related matters, and assisting in the development or revision of requirements, guidance material and implementation support to enhance cabin safety on a global scale.

This most recent revision (Doc 10002) addresses significant changes made since the 1990s. New material in the manual includes cabin crew training requirements & qualifications, training

facilities and devices, competency-based training, SMS training for cabin crew, fatigue management, in-charge cabin crew training and management aspects of cabin safety training programs.

It provides guidance material for initial and recurrent training and presents a competency-based approach to training.

Competency-Based Approach ICAO developed this competency-based approach to cabin crew safety training to ensure that cabin crew are proficient in performing their duties and responsibilities, and with the goal of establishing an international baseline for cabin crew competencies.

ICAO defines a competency as “a combination of skills, knowledge and attitudes required to perform a task to the prescribed standard. Competency-based approaches are characterized by an emphasis on job performance and the knowledge and skills required to perform on the job. Competency-based training aims at progressively building and integrating knowledge and skills required for competency job performance. Competencybased assessments aim at measuring how well competencies necessary for the job are demonstrated to the specified performance standards.”

This approach to training focuses on normal operations, abnormal and emergency situations, security threats, cabin health and first aid, dangerous goods and ‘soft’ skills, e.g. communication.

The contents of the revised manual are generic, and provide examples and detailed guidance so operators can adapt it to suit their operations. Mitchell Fox, Chief Flight Operations Section at

Flight attendants are concerned that important safety information will be ignored through constant PED usage.

Candace Kolander, Coordinator, Air Safety, Health & Security for the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA spoke at length on this subject at WATS 2014 and pointed out that the FAA failed to fully explore a number of considerations such as the possible adverse effects of unsecured PEDs and attached power cords during an incident or accident.

PEDs are carried by nearly every passenger on board an aircraft, and are significantly different from books, magazines, and other items that passengers bring into the cabin.

Of equal concern is the possibility

has now established that passengers may use PEDs switched on in flight mode during all phases of flight, unless the flight crew or cabin crew instructs them otherwise. Under these new policies, airlines are allowing passengers to use small, handheld devices during taxi, take-off and landing.

The ARC recommends that the FAA work with industry stakeholders to develop model frameworks for training programs targeting crewmembers and other affected operator personnel. This effort should involve initial and recurrent training for all employees.

MMC DDB

ICAO spoke to delegates at this year’s WATS conference about the revised manual, and how it “provides guidance for States when approving a cabin crew training program. It provides all relevant parts of syllabuses that should be included in cabin crew training syllabus, but the syllabus should not be limited by it.”

The manual also provides guidance on other issues States and industry have asked for such as representative cabin training devices, instructor qualifications and competencies, and training program management.

ICAO’s Cabin Safety Work Program for 2014 will continue to address emerging issues, provide guidance to assist in implementation and continue joint industry-regulatory efforts via ICSG. These issues will include the safe expanded use of PEDs; enhancing safety through competent cabin crew members; the safety of infants and children on board; enhanced safety, security and reduction in operational disruptions through better management of unruly passengers; and capturing lessons learned from accidents and incidents specific to cabin aspects.

Inflight Use of PEDs As just mentioned, ICAO is addressing emerging issues related to cabin safety and one of these is the inflight use of PEDs or Portable Electronic Devices.

These include digital cameras, smartphones, tablets, and e-readers.

In January 2013, the FAA chartered a Portable Electronic Device Aviation Rulemaking Committee, or PED ARC, to make recommendations “on allowing additional PEDs without compromising the continued safe operation of the aircraft”. Then in September 2013, the PED ARC published a final report that included numerous technical, operational, and safety communications recommendations. On 31 October, the FAA announced that commercial airlines can “safely expand passenger use of Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) during all phases of flight” using implementation guidance provided by the agency, which is based on the PED ARC final report recommendations.

CAbin Crew Training that sudden crash forces could cause passengers to lose hold of their PEDs, resulting in “struck-by” injuries to occupants or impediments to egress through evacuation pathways. Previous guidance informed passengers that all electronic devices were to be turned off and stowed at altitudes below 10,000 feet above the ground, but the new guidance suggests that operators ask passengers to “secure” small items in their hands. Kolander said that flight attendants question this policy in particular during the high risk take-off and landing phases of flight, when promoting the goal of a ‘clean cabin’ environment is essential to the interests of public safety.

AFA’s concern is that during takeoff and landing, passengers need to be prepared for a sudden emergency, and passengers may be so attached to their cell phones or other PEDs, that they may be inclined to stop and look for them in an emergency situation, even at the cost of slowing down an evacuation of the cabin.

For years safety experts have attempted to entice passengers to observe and embrace the messages imparted in crewmember safety briefings. With passengers now able to use PEDs during all phases of flight, including during crewmember briefings, Kolander pointed out that flight attendants are concerned that important safety information will be ignored.

Kolander said that changes in the inflight use of PEDs need to consider cabin safety aspects, such as information to passengers, securing and stowing of devices and policies for prohibiting the use of devices under specific circumstances. ICAO is developing guidance material to address these and other issues related to the safe expanded use of PEDs, and promote harmonisation at an international level.

Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft (SAFA) A final aspect of training that is of relevance to cabin crew members is that related to the Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft (SAFA). The SAFA Programme was established by the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) and is the fulfilment of the legal obliga38

C A T M A G A Z INE 4 . 2 0 1 4

tion upon EU Member States to perform ramp inspections on third country aircraft landing at their airports.

The purpose of a SAFA inspection is for the various national aviation authorities to check for compliance with international standards that are the minimum requirements to be observed by any aircraft engaged in international aviation.

These inspections follow a procedure common to all Member States and are then reported on using a common format. Oversight authorities (Inspectors) of the Member States engaged in the SAFA Programme choose which aircraft to inspect. Some authorities carry out random inspections while others try to target aircraft or airlines that they suspect may not comply with ICAO standards. In either case only a very small proportion of third country aircraft operating into each State are inspected.

Depending on the volume of third country flights and the availability of inspectors in each Member State, the number of inspections may vary from relatively few to several hundred each year.

Checks may include: crew licenses; manuals that should be carried on board; compliance with procedures by flight and cabin crew; safety equipment in flight deck and cabin; cargo carried in the aircraft; and the technical/mechanical condition of the aircraft Since the crew of any airline can come across a SAFA Inspection and

be questioned about documents and equipment matters, it is very important for members of the cabin crew to be aware of what can be checked in the cabin in order to see and prevent a remark of expired equipment or safety issues with regards to emergency exits for example.

If an inspection identifies significant irregularities, these will be taken up with the airline and the oversight authority. Where irregularities have an immediate impact on safety, inspectors can demand corrective action before they allow the aircraft to leave. More information about this particular area of cabin crew training will be provided at EATS 2014 by Mr. Fons Schaefer from SGI Aviation.

Cabin safety is a key area of training that is essential to maintaining and enhancing operational safety and improving survivability in the event of an accident. ICAO and other regulatory bodies are establishing dedicated programmes in direct relation to this subject matter. Other emerging issues will continue to be addressed and the important role of cabin crew and cabin safety will continue to be promoted in years to come. cat

SHOW REPORT

Farnborough International Air Show Chris Long provides a report on the training and simulation activities at the Farnborough International Air Show.

T

he biennial Farnborough Air Show is rightly noted for the display of both civil and military aircraft and systems and, certainly in recent years, for the announcement of massive orders for new aircraft. In the past, the event tended not to have training as a particular focus, and at first sight this year was no exception. However, the effect of the very active acquisition and expansion programmes of major military players from both the United States and Europe is now showing up as a keen interest in training when they look for new markets.

This can cover not just manufacture of top end full flight simulators (FFS) but also the full range of training devices, as well as total training solutions - course design and delivery. An important shift in emphasis, particularly for the hardware manufacturers, is the concept that long-term customer support and customisation is now becoming a baseline built into every product presentation and supply.

A quick look at some of the key programmes in civil aviation training.

L-3 Link Simulation and Training Lenny Genna, president L-3 Link Simulation and Training is very pleased with the integration of the historic expertise in military training and the respected performance and flexibility of the RealitySeven™ FFS built by L-3 Link at the Crawley, UK facility. He sees that the active exchange programme already underway with talented specialists from Crawley and Arlington, USA, allows L-3 to combine the best practice of the two historic bloodlines to further improve both streams of training capability. The installation of an additional ATR 72-600 RealitySeven and an A320 FFS at the L-3 owned AATC in Bangkok, Thailand, also reflects the success of current programmes. The accent is

on continuing to develop an entire range of training support devices, from iPads to FFSs. The order for an A350 FFS from Cathay Pacific is another good indicator of future trends; this in a future which sees the customisation of training platforms and systems coupled with robust customer support as the way forward.

Airbus and Boeing amassed US$115.5 billion in jet deals at this year's Farnborough air show.

Thales on the Move Last year at the Paris Air Show, JeanJacques Guittard, Thales vice president, in charge of training and simulation activities, declared that plans were in place to set up a civil helicopter training centre at Albertville in France, principally to provide training on a Level B FFS for the AS350 used by Search and Rescue crews operating in the French, Swiss and Italian Alps, the site is now up and running. This is the first of two sites; the second will be in Stavanger in Norway to provide training in support of the Offshore Oil and Gas industry for those operating the ubiquitous EC225.

The data packages for both aircraft have been developed by Thales through flying and measuring the real performance of the helicopters and building the FFS data pack from that collected data. Thales believes that owning the data not only reduces CAT MAGAZINE 4.2014

the cost for the customer, but also enables rapid updates when required.

It is well recognised that helicopter fleets can be small, and that consequently few operators can set up their own training establishments. The Thales solution is to select geographically well situated centres to provide access for the greatest number of operators, and is actively looking for global sites which fit that bill. The relatively poor safety record of rotary wing operations when compared with the more numerous fixed wing operations is likely to lead to increased regulatory training and currency requirements.

Naturally the more responsible operators have already boosted their training, but there is no doubt that the overall task will increase - Thales has anticipated this, and intends to be ready as the training demand increases.

Over and above the immediate market drivers, there is still a need for innovation to improve the product. An intriguing addition to the training is to develop a simulation based avatar, in particular to lead distance learning. That is proving to be a challenge, but the indications are that Thales is well on the way to being able to deploy this particular innovation - something to keep an eye open for.

TRU Simulation + Training In another acquisition by a major military training provider, Textron has started to build a significant civil aviation training business to put alongside the civil aircraft manufacturing capability which it has through ownership of Bell Helicopter, Cessna and Beechcraft. This new team, TRU Simulation + Training, was revealed officially at this year's WATS event.

By combining the talents of two modest sized companies, OPINICUS and Mechtronix, the former based at Tampa, Florida has its primary strengths in software, whereas Mechtronix, based in Canada, is highly competent in software design and the manufacture of hardware. During a press call at Farnborough, Jim Takats, TRU Simulation + Training’s president and CEO indicated that there is a happy and synergistic fusion of those capabilities, with benefits already being driven out of this blend. Takats said he is determined "to foster the ‘small company’ sense of entrepreneurship and innovation which, coupled with the inherent attentive customer service culture, can benefit from the level of investment available from a mega-player to build the business further". The eventual aim is to have a balanced 50/50 split between military and civil activity.

Another plus for this new team is that, for the first time, an aircraft OEM will also have the capability of manufacturing the entire suite of training aids, with the inevitable seamless transfer of data which that will encourage. TRU Simulation + Training will also have a unique ability to provide training suites for all sizes of civil aircraft, from Cessna 150s through to Airbus A330s.

Finally, the expansion and construction of training facilities will increase the spectrum of solutions available to customers, so Takats believes that the time and capabilities are well matched to ride the wave of growth in the civil aviation training market. cat

EATS 2014 Flight Plan Filed for Berlin Conference Chair Chris Lehman files a preview.

T

he European Airline Training Symposium (EATS) will land at the Estrel Hotel in Berlin, Germany this autumn. Taking place from October 28-29, there will be an additional meeting for Heads of Training on the evening of 27 October. EATS 2014 will continue our annual tradition of exploring European expertise in aviation training and simulation, and once again there will be a simultaneous cabin crew training stream to complement pilot training.

Now in its 13th year, the theme of EATS 2014 is "Optimising Simulation and Training for the Flight Crew,” and significant participation from EASA will help delegates understand the latest European regulatory developments for both pilot and cabin training. The main focus of EATS however, has always been Gold Sponsor:

to explore European training “best practice” and this year will be no exception.

FTOs, TRTOs, airline operators and representatives from academia will provide their perspectives and advice on the industry’s most pressing training challenges across Europe, the Middle East and Asia as well as the wider world. Gold sponsor of EATS 2014 is CAE, and the exhibition floor will include a wide crosssection of the industry’s simulation and training suppliers.

EATS provides a uniquely European perspective on civil aviation training, yet attracts conference delegates, speakers, and exhibitors from around the globe.

Since inception, a hallmark of EATS is the quality of attendees – quite literally the majority of the senior personalities that drive this highly specialised sector. Last

year some 450 delegates from 59 airlines and 42 countries attended EATS 2013, along with 48 international exhibitors.

European and global personnel recruitment, human factors, cultural and safety training issues will be explored at EATS 2014, including the experience to date with MPL. Several presentations – including a Keynote – will be delivered

by EASA, and senior industry speakers will explore Evidence-Based Training, LOC-I, ATQP, the latest thinking on English language training, and even what flight crews need to know about aviation law and operating for fuel efficiency.

Over in the cabin track, speakers will also investigate the complete range of training issues including new hire training and selection, evacuation/egress training, CRM training, unruly passengers, medical emergencies, and the new training and simulation media. In fact, across both conference tracks, EATS will cover the range of today’s training and simulation technologies, including airline “lessons learned” from implementing e-learning and mobile training technologies.

An exciting new development for EATS 2014 is a final panel for both conference streams that offers delegates the opportunity to “Peer into the Future with your Peers.” Senior international training experts from academia, air carriers, regulators, and equipment suppliers will offer their views of what the future holds for the industry, inviting delegates to weighin with their own views. There’s no better opportunity this year to obtain an insight as to exactly where our industry is headed.

The conference programmes are on pages 48-49 of this issue, and as the final touches are put on the conference streams check the Halldale website frequently for updates - www.halldale.com/ eats. See you in Berlin! cat - PMS 295 C = 00 45 7C - PMS 543 C = 8F C3 EA - PMS 1595 C = E8 7D 1E

New Graduate Aviation Degree

Contracts for Frasca

Florida Institute of Technology is launching a new online graduate degree program in Fall 2014 that is designed for adult working professionals in public, private or military aviation-related professions where advanced, graduatelevel knowledge of aviation management concepts is a key to success. The new degree, Master of Science in Aviation - Aviation Management, is offered

by Florida Tech's College of Aeronautics

and is a companion degree to the college's Master's in Aviation Safety and Master's in Human Factors in Aeronautics degrees, which are also available online.

The Aviation Management degree prepares individuals for advanced leadership positions in the public, private, or military aviation sectors through specific skills and competencies training in aviation management.

Frasca International, Inc. has been awarded a contract to supply a Robinson R44/S300 convertible TruFlite™ CAAC Level 5 flight training device (FTD) to Sichuan Xilin Fengteng General Aviation Co. Ltd., located in Guanhan, Sichuan Province, China. The FTD will be used for training in emergency situations.

Several collegiate flight programs have also contracted with Frasca to upgrade their existing simulators to be approved as FAA Level 5 flight training devices. These include the University of North Dakota, Liberty University, Western Michigan University, and Southern Illinois University. The FAA’s recent Policy Change regarding the use of simulation devices for training will reduce training credits on these devices by over 90% effective January 1, 2015. By proactively upgrading their devices to be approved as Level 5 FTDs, these schools will not need to significantly modify their curriculum and can continue to use the FTDs as originally intended in their programs.

Etihad Airways is establishing the Etihad Flight College, a flight training facility in the United Arab Emirates for Emirati and international cadet pilots. As a first step in establishing this college, Etihad Airways is in the process of acquiring the fixed wing training division from Horizon International Flight Academy (Horizon). The assets to be acquired include 13 Cessna 172SP Skyhawk aircraft, three Diamond DA42NG aircraft, two flight training simulators and Horizon's hangar facilities at Al Ain International Airport. All fixed wing flight instructors and some support staff currently employed by Horizon will transfer to the Etihad Flight College ensuring there is no disruption to the ongoing cadet pilot training programs.

Etihad Flight College will also implement the Multi-Crew Pilot Licence (MPL) and will be the first organisation in the world to use multi-engine aircraft in the core phase of its MPL training program.

CABIN CREW

Unanimous Resolution At the 70th International Air Transport Association (IATA) Annual General Meeting (AGM) and World Air Transport Summit in Doha, a unanimous resolution was adopted by IATA members which calls upon governments and industry to work together on a balanced package of measures to effectively deter and manage the significant problem of unruly air passenger behaviour. Such behaviour includes committing physical assault, disturbing good order on board or failing to follow lawful crew instructions.

"This resolution confirms the determination of airlines to defend the rights of their passengers and crew," said Tony Tyler, IATA's director general and chief executive officer. "Everybody on board is entitled to enjoy a journey free from abusive or other unacceptable behaviour. Many airlines have trained both ground staff and cabin crew in procedures not only to manage incidents of unruly behaviour but also in measure to prevent them. But a robust solution needs alignment among airlines, airports, and governments."

Simulator Census

World Civil Full Flight Simulator Census Edited by Ian Strachan.

T

he latest Boeing Market Outlook predicts that nearly 25,000 new airline pilots will be needed each year between now and the 2030s.

Furthermore, the “Centre of Gravity” moves from North America and Europe towards the Middle and Far East, particularly China. Indeed, in the forecast for 2014-2033, the Asia-Pacific region (the Far East and Australasia) is well in the lead with a need for over 9600 new pilots per year, followed by Europe with about 5000 and North America with 4400. Another forecast over a similar time period, this time from Airbus, is that an average of about 1370 new airliners will be delivered each year, of which about 480 will be for the Asia-Pacific region and 290 each to Europe and North America.

It is also predicted that “Revenue Passenger Kilometres” (RPK) will double in the next 15 years. All of these pilots and crews of the new aircraft will need initial and regular recurrency training, together with many thousands of other pilots. Since the full flight simulator (FFS) design achieved regulatory approval in 1982, there has been no better vehicle for cost-effective airline pilot training.

Furthermore, with more emphasis on Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) the “Enhanced Level D” FFS with improved flight envelope and cueing is beginning to appear and will become the future standard.

This year we list 1429 FFS, an increase of 40 over last year. This is 10 more than the average increase over the last 10 years, which was 30 per year. In 2014, 78% are to the highest (Level D) standard, an increase of 44. An abbreviated version of the simulator census is printed in this issue of CAT magazine, however the complete database is available in a sortable Excel format for a fee from www.halldale.com/sim-census.

The regional table shows North America well in the lead, followed by Europe, these two regions having nearly 940 FFS, 66% of the world total. However, simulator numbers in these areas are not increasing whereas Asia-Pacific has 29 more this year, and in view of the Airbus and Boeing forecasts above, can be confidently predicted to increase further.

Another point of interest is that combining Asia-Pacific with the Middle East gives 401, significantly more than Europe.

Looking to the future, using the Boeing new-pilot figures for Europe and North America and the census FFS numbers for those regions to give a pilot-toFFS ratio, the predicted pilot figures for the Asia-Pacific region indicate a need for about 970 simulators, and for the Middle East, about 200. If this is anywhere near what will happen, it would be a tripling of current FFS numbers in AsiaPacific and doubling those currently in the Middle East.

Looking at the table of individual countries, as usual the USA is well in the lead with about 560 simulators, followed by China with over 110 and then European nations such as UK with 84, France with 65 and Germany with 47.

However, the US numbers are similar to last year and Europe’s have reduced, whereas those for China have increased by over 10%. Overall, there are simulators in no less than 66 nations, Colombia and

Myanmar being new this year. Within the USA, training centres in Texas are well in the lead with 141 simulators, followed by Florida with 104, Georgia with 57, Kansas with 36, and then 11 other states, of which Hawaii, Michigan and New York are new.

Turning now to manufacturers, there is a small “head” but a long “tail”. The “head” consists of only three companies.

CAE of Montreal, Canada, is well in the lead, followed by FlightSafety International (USA), and L-3 Link UK. It is no coincidence that both CAE and FSI have created a large number of training Centres worldwide, using their own simulators. A new name is TRU Simulation + Training, formed by its owner Textron from AAI Technical Services (Charleston, USA), Mechtronix (Montreal, Canada), and Opinicus (Tampa, Florida). L-3 Link of Arlington, Texas, is next, but its civil business is small compared to military flight simulators for which it is the world leader (see the military flight simulator census in MS&T magazine). Next is Indra of Spain with five more FFS this year, followed by Thales with helicopter simulators, then CAE USA at Tampa, Florida. Rockwell Collins follows, and it is significant that the company is currently negotiating a JV (Joint Venture) with Beijing Bluesky, a subsidiary of state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC). A newcomer this year is Austria Metall SystemTechnik (AMST), specialising in disorientation trainers with full freedom in yaw.

There is not much to say about aircraft manufacturers because predictably there are more simulators for Airbus and Boeing aircraft than anyone else. There are simulators for aircraft by 34 other manufacturers from ACAC to Xian, both of these being from China. However, looking at classes of aircraft, there has been a 10% increase in simulators for

twin-engined helicopters and this has implications for simulator visual and motion cueing systems.

In terms of regulatory levels, the more basic Levels A & B are dying out except for some Level B helicopter simulators where the desirability of a large vertical field of view (VFoV) runs counter to the requirement of some regulatory authorities for collimated (distant-focus) visuals.

Regulatory authorities are led by the US FAA with over 600 simulators, followed

by EASA with over 450, then CAAC in China with nearly 110. There are no less than 30 other authorities.

Turning now to simulator design, the most popular type of outside world (OTW) visual is a collimated (distant focus) display with three projectors, and such systems are fitted to 1125 simulators (79%). These use the curved mirror system developed by Rediffusion in 1982.

Since then, the horizontal field-of-view of three-channel systems has increased from 150 degrees to 180, even 200, and in the vertical (more difficult) from 40 degrees to 45, and up to 60 degrees in special systems for helicopters. 4 and 5-channels give more horizontal view and are fitted to 210 simulators. New this year are visuals with a very large number of channels, again for helicopter simulators. 40 FFS have 6 or more, most in domes; 6 have 10 or more channels and one has 15! The image generators (IGs) that are used in these displays are led by over 520 of the EP, ESIG and SP-series,

originally by Evans and Sutherland of Salt Lake City, now part of Rockwell Collins.

These are followed by over 400 MaxVue, Medallion and Tropos IGs from CAE and then 325 of FSI’s Vital series. These are the main products, but the Raster series from RSI is fitted to over 90 simulators, an increase in 23; and 11 other IGs are used.

With regard to motion cueing systems, 98% have motion platforms with all of the 6 degrees-of-freedom, and over 25% have electric actuators, an increase of 83. The advantage of electrics over hydraulics, as well as no hydraulic pump room, is lower transport delays (latencies) and therefore better motion fidelity. There has also been an increase in vibration devices in helicopter simulators, to back up platform cueing.

The final subject is simulator age, with new-builds and major updates, some 50% are less than 10 years old, nearly 90 more than last year, and only about 8% were made before 1990. FFS are getting younger!

Conclusion The full flight simulator with its combination of motion platform, outside-world visual and realistic control handling characteristics, first appeared in 1982. Since then its design has been refined, characteristics have improved, also its numbers. Just how much it has improved and become universally popular is shown in the detail of this article. All airlines now train on the FFS and save an enormous amount of money compared to using the aircraft itself. Noting the predicted growth of worldwide commercial aviation mentioned throughout the Sourcebook, it is only simulation that can cope with the training that will be required. cat
