Aviation Training Group Alpha Aviation Group Philippines Shares Strategy Development Best Practices with City Officials

AAG Philippines (AAGP) showcased its integrated strategy development and execution framework during the quick learning visit of Vice Mayor Jeffrey Ganzon (representing Mayor Jerry Treñas) and councilors of Iloilo City on 29 June 2023 facilitated by Clark Development Corporation.

Iloilo City is a 2009 awardee of the Palladium Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame for Executing Strategy. AAGP also shared its insights and the latest developments on various initiatives toward sustainability, particularly along the ESG framework (environmental, social, governance).

Along the environmental aspect, AAG currently implements a web-based learning management system and policies on the reduction of water, energy and paper consumptions. Future projects include a fuel management system which will facilitate a transition from low-lead to unleaded and eventually sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), aircraft re-fleeting (more efficient platforms including electric), utilization of solar energy, and adoption of electric vehicles (EV).

Social initiatives include AAG’s “Women in Aviation” campaign, “CAREs” program (community assistance and response), “Edu-Techno-Tourism” program, study-now-pay-later (SNPL) program, internship program, data privacy, IT security and redundancy, and policies covering anti-sexual harassment, anti-bribery, anti-conflict of interest, whistle-blowing, self-reporting, and disease prevention.

Governance mechanisms include ISO 9001 certification, adoption of the balanced scorecard (BSC) technology, corporate culture building (“AAG Family” campaign, employee code of conduct and core values nurturing program), CSR committee, third party supplier code of conduct, quality and safety policies, training value chain innovations, and adoption of an integrated training philosophy and support infrastructure aligned with the competency-based training and assessment (CBTA) approach.

Wizz Air Students’ APS MCC Training will be Held in the Third Simnest Simulator of A32

A32 Simulator Center has acquired its third Simnest Airbus A320 FNPT II APS MCC simulator within three years. As with the previous two, training on the new device will be provided by the Simnest Pilot Academy. The new Simnest simulator, which was certified by the authorities last week, will be used for APS MCC training of Wizz Air students.

From the point of view of future Wizz Air pilots, the biggest advantage of the Simnest Airbus A320 FNPT II APS MCC simulator is that it reproduces the characteristics of the Airbus A320 aircraft as perfectly as possible in its design, equipment and behavior.

This is extremely important, because on the one hand it allows APS MCC training to be conducted on Simnest simulators. Of all the courses currently available, this provides students with most of the knowledge and competencies that are becoming a fundamental requirement in the recruitment process for an increasing number of airlines. As a result, the APS MCC greatly increases the cadets’ chances of finding employment with commercial airlines.

The fully life-like design is also vital in the training of commercial pilots because it helps cadets to develop their muscle memory properly to know instantly what movements to make with their limbs without conscious effort, even in sharp situations.

“Going from a piston aircraft to a jet airliner is a huge leap. Not only do the students have to get used to the much higher speeds, the peculiarities of flying at high altitudes, the very different behaviour of the aircraft or the fly-by-wire technology of Airbus aircraft, but they also have to learn to interact with a crew of several people. When learning such an extremely complex activity, it makes a crucial difference whether a button, a switch is in the same place or the same force must be exerted during their use in the simulator as in the real aircraft. Therefore, similar is not enough for us, which is why we are delighted to have another Simnest Airbus A320 in our fleet, as this simulator is identical to the Airbus A320 in every detail. This allows us to support the career of future Wizz Air pilots with the best possible equipment and service.” – expressed his satisfaction Gyula Kühtreiber, Managing Director of Simnest Pilot Academy.

Thanks to the outstanding experience of Simnest Aviation, the new simulator certification procedure went off without a hitch this time again, so the first training sessions will take place in a few days, and from September this year, Wizz Air pilots will also be able to complete their APS MCC course on the new Simnest simulator.
