Simulator Manufacturer, Elite, Chooses AeroInside SafetyScan Pro to Improve Aviation Safety

AeroInside and ELITE have entered a new partnership – enabling a data driven approach that finds relevant and up-to-date accident and incident investigation reports in all fields of aviation – worldwide. These fields cover both fixed wing aircraft as well as rotorcraft. “By using these findings we can add crucial information to real world flying and simulator training sessions,” said Fabian Rahm, founder and owner of AeroInside, based in Switzerland. Both companies share the same goal: improvement of aviation safety through specific and targeted learning.

Entrepreneur Fabian Rahm had worked from 2009 to 2012 as a software developer at ELITE and has therefore a thorough knowledge of the flight simulation industry. He has maintained an amicable contact with the highly skilled ELITE team up to today which has resulted in this new partnership. Mr. Rahm is extremely happy about this win-win situation.

ELITE is constantly looking at ways how to innovate and add value to its products for the end customers. By working with the well-known data research company AeroInside, ELITE is now able to offer its customers access to a very vast and detailed aircraft accident and incident database.

Each new FNPT II customer is going to get a year’s free access to the “AeroInside SafetyScan Pro“. In other words, there will be two separate login accounts for the head of training and the head of safety. Thanks to an intensive brand-awareness cooperation, existing AeroInside customers are going to get to know all the products ELITE can offer from home user simulation equipment to EASA/FAA certified FNPTs FTDs/AATDs.

René Huddlestone, sales manager at ELITE Flight Simulation Solutions AG, is absolutely thrilled about this new partnership and said: “The access to AeroInside SafetyScan Pro will be helpful to our customers CFI’s in re-creating real world training scenarios. By utilizing our simulators and implementing the knowledge out of these accident reports, our exclusive customers will further enhance pilot situational awareness as well as safety concepts management.”

ASTi and Embry-Riddle Present on Aviation English Technology in Pilot Training at ICAEA Conference

ASTi’s Neil Waterman, alongside Andy Schneider of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, delivered a presentation titled, “Enhancing Standard Phraseology in ab initio Pilot Training through Next-Generation Technologies” at the International Civil Aviation English Association (ICAEA) Conference on September 19, 2023. The three-day conference started on September 18, 2023 and took place at the Dedeman Hotel in Istanbul, Türkiye.

The presentation highlights the results of a two-year academic study that Embry-Riddle conducted with ASTi’s support. Specifically, it investigates the efficacy of new technologies in their roles teaching new pilots proper English aviation phraseology. These new technologies include artificial intelligence (AI), automatic speech recognition (ASR), hyper-realistic text to speech (TTS), and natural language processing (NLP), which collaborate to provide cutting-edge tools for this specific type of training.

This comprehensive lecture covers the full timeline of this large-scale, experimental collegiate flight training program. It contains early design and implementation struggles, midstream program adaptations and, finally, the team’s conclusions about their efforts in standard phraseology training for over 1,200 English L1 and L2 ab initio pilots. The presenters also provided a hands-on demonstration of this training program, allowing participants to experience virtual-reality (VR) videos, an automated phraseology training application and ASTi’s Simulated Environment for Realistic ATC (SERA).
