Key Highlights from 2024

  • Momentum for Multi-Crew Pilot License (MPL) Programs
    • MPL programs gained prominence, streamlining pilot pathways and addressing pilot shortages.
    • Airlines adopting MPL have shown no signs of reverting to traditional CPL with Type Rating routes.
    • MPL’s appeal lies in offering a faster, targeted training solution amid the evolving perception of the pilot profession.

    “MPL aligns with modern airline needs, providing innovative cadet programs that appeal to aspiring pilots and support workforce recovery,” Mazeika noted.

  • AI and Automation in Pilot Training
    • AI-driven simulators enhanced personalized training, adapting to real-time pilot behavior.
    • Automation shifted pilot roles toward system management, emphasizing situational awareness and decision-making.
    • Future integration of AI is expected to optimize training schedules, introduce virtual instructors, and simulate advanced scenarios.

    “Staying ahead of technology trends is essential for long-term industry readiness,” Mazeika added.
