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”:
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.
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”.
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.
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.
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, 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.
