Safety First with Dangerous Goods: How to Implement CBTA in Your Training
According to the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board), over 88% of all chartered plane crashes and over 50% of commercial airline crashes can be attributed to pilot error. At first glance, these numbers appear incredibly high, however, when considering the overall decline in air accidents over the last fifteen years, the overall trend is actually improving. Why? To a large extent thanks to greater consideration being given to a pilot’s competencies and not just their proficiency. That is why from 1 January 2023 ICAO introduced changes to the Dangerous Goods training program, making it mandatory to follow a CBTA approach.
It is clear that Competency-Based Training Assessments (CBTAs) are playing an ever-increasing role in ICAO compliant flight training courses such as ours. But what are CBTA programs and how are we implementing them? To best answer these questions, let’s first take a look at the “C” in “CBTA” to “get us off the ground”:
Mind-Boeing - GettiNG the MAX with our New CBT
When is the moment that awareness becomes true understanding? When is the moment that a shrug of confusion becomes a nod of real recognition? Many of us have leafed our way through files, documents and literature - some of them simple; many of them complex. Countless times we have put them to one side for another day, perhaps a better day when the morning coffee really kicks in and the Sun is shining. Other times we leave them, never to return. Why? Because sometimes we may read something, but we lack the connection with what we are reading.
Zero-click Loadsheet
We launched cooperation with Wizz Air three years ago, promising a Loadsheet procured in less than 60 seconds. We achieved that by building a software solution with a User Interface (eXperience) fully aligned to the airline’s Ground Handling procedure—a simple, even simplistic interface requiring minimum interactions. But optimizing human interactions can only go so far. Every consecutive change brought limited return—it would not decrease the time further. The next step was connecting systems that could provide data to the “calculator” (e.g., DCS, flight schedule, EFB), eliminating redundant data input completely.
Structural Limitations: Maximum Running Loads
Running load is a limitation that prevents floor damage.
It is given as kilogram per meter, kilogram per inch, or pound per inch. And 62 kg/in limit means that if we cut the aircraft fuselage in slices (the width of each is 1 inch) the total mass loaded in the slice cannot exceed 62 kg. The limit can be set differently in different areas of the aircraft. Usually, it is higher in the section over the wing and decreases in the AFT part of the aircraft.
The role of the flight instructor in pilot training
Each pilot perfectly remembers his first flight and the instructor who introduced him to the world of aviation. With this instructor, we took our first steps in the sky and under his watchful eye we felt what it was like to “break away from the ground”.
Familiarization and difference flight training with Evionica’s e-learning class rating courses
Familiarisation and differences training are critical components of the EASA training framework that enable pilots to stay updated with the latest equipment and procedures, ultimately ensuring aviation safety. With Evionica’s e-learning class rating courses, pilot students can easily and flexibly train to fly new aircraft.
Aarhus Airport selects Evionica to digitalize ground handling operations for Air Cairo
Evionica, well known for its smart and easy-to-use Weight and Balance software, was chosen by Aarhus Airport (AAR) to support flight operations of Air Cairo, a low-cost Egyptian national passenger airline.
Serbian Prince Aviation has extended cooperation with Evionica!
Prince Aviation, established in 1990, operates on 8 aircraft for practical flight training and thanks to cooperation with Evionica, offers next generation e-learning for theory PPL(A) course! We are more than happy of extending our cooperation with Serbian Training Organization. Their pilot students can train on distance for PPL(A) and ATPL(A) licences now!
AeroJOB Fly Academy develops pilot training methods with Evionica’s aviation e-learning
AeroJOB Fly Academy, based at the international airport in Kosice, provides training at its bases all around Slovakia. This Flight School offers a comprehensive range of programs for future commercial airline pilots.
