Global Pilot Training Group, Simaero, Explores Real-World CBTA Application in New “Training Standard” Podcast Episode

Global - aviation training provider and full flight simulator training center operator Simaero has released a new episode of its “The Training Standard” podcast exploring how Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) is applied during real simulator training sessions.

• The fourth episode of the podcast series, titled “CBTA from the Crew and Instructor Perspective,” focuses on how competency-based methodologies translate from regulatory frameworks into practical simulator training scenarios.
• The discussion moves beyond theory to explore how CBTA influences the interaction between flight crews and instructors during simulator sessions.
• Topics covered include how a typical training day changes under CBTA frameworks, the level of instructor intervention permitted during training scenarios, and how debriefing techniques focus on identifying root causes rather than simply correcting procedural errors.
• The episode highlights how CBTA shifts emphasis toward behavioral competencies such as decision-making, workload management, and crew communication, aligning with modern airline training philosophies.

The Training Standard is available on the following platforms:

• Amazon Music
• Apple Podcast
• Spotify
• YouTube
