Advanced Aircrew Academy unveiled several new training modules and curriculums this week at NBAA-BACE 2023. Included are training courses for pilots, flight coordinators, dispatchers, and schedulers, as well as those for the growing uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) market. They join its other new courses such as human trafficking awareness and the second-in-command professional development program (PDP).
“We're most excited to be announcing our new 'eye of the pilot' scenario-based e-learning for Part 135 pilots requiring pilot-in-command or second-in-command basic indoctrination recurrent training,” said Erika Armstrong, the academy’s director of marketing. “This curriculum of unique modules uses real-world scenarios to meet training objectives.
“Our training will challenge pilots with a variety of flight routes with embedded scenarios to sharpen their decision-making skills so rather than rote memorization, we provide interesting, customizable training that allows learners to think differently about potential responses or solutions to operational challenges. This creates better problem-solving skills and deeper interaction with training that can feel redundant.”
According to Armstrong, the process of aircrew training is under pressure as the business aviation community scrambles to fill the pilot pipeline while keeping current pilot skills sharp and up-to-date. Comprehensive training is more essential than ever, because “a good safety culture begins with knowledge,” she said.
This is why Advanced Aircrew Academy offers in-depth training on more than 120 topics. It can also customize each training module to the operator's general operations manual, operational specifications, FAA-approved training program, standard operating procedures, hazmat program, winter operations, and/or security manual.
The company delivers training modules to clients using a personalized online learning center. Courseware is created by in-house subject matter experts who work in business aviation.
“We don't just train fixed- and rotor-wing pilots,” said Armstrong. "We also provide superior content training for flight/cabin attendants, mechanics/engineers, line-service technicians, schedulers/dispatchers, and office staff."
To address the problem of long delays for aircraft owners to get letters of authorization, Advanced Aircrew Academy is now approved by the FAA to provide a training statement of compliance. This means “we can provide international procedures training that can meet LOA training requirements,” Armstrong said.
To keep training programs relevant and timely, the company updates courseware weekly. “We are also expanding our UAS topics and creating training as this segment of aviation rapidly expands faster than the rules can be written,” she said. “We continuously listen to the industry and create training as needed, so we're constantly providing new content.”
