Global Pilot Training Solution Provider and Middle Eastern Airline Unveil New White Paper on Pilot Continuous Professional Development
In a joint effort to enhance aviation safety, global pilot training solution provider CAE and Dubai, United Arab Emirates based airline Emirates published a new White Paper focusing on Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for pilots.
The new White Paper delves into the evolving landscape of pilot training, stressing the importance of CPD as technological advancements shift the pilot’s role from manual control to system monitoring. This transition necessitates new competencies, particularly in Non-Technical Skills (NTS), and highlights the need for innovative learning methodologies.
Traditionally, pilot training has centered on meeting and maintaining standards, a framework seen as more advantageous for organizations than for individual pilots. The White Paper advocates for a paradigm shift towards Continuous Recurrent Training (CRT), promoting flexible and personalized learning that can drive significant advancements in pilot training.
A key message of the White Paper is the movement from compliance-based to competence-based training, emphasizing continuous development. This approach involves setting individualized training goals and focusing on practical competence rather than mere knowledge absorption.
Drawing inspiration from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the White Paper outlines a CPD process encompassing planning, executing, recording, and reviewing learning activities. It also highlights essential enablers for effective CPD, such as maintaining curiosity, dedicating regular time for learning, seeking feedback, reflecting on experiences, and embracing new challenges.
