1. Training our pilots for today
2. EASA’s direction for ab-initio ground training
3. What does this look like within our ATOs
4. The solutions and benefits
1. Training our pilots for today
Safety & commercial managers in a rapidly
technologically advancing industry and unpredictable
environment
‘Thinking’ pilots with sound Core Competencies
European Industry Questionnaire
‘ATPL theoretical knowledge courses tend to have a
greater emphasis on learning facts than on the
understanding and application of the knowledge’

2. EASA’s proposed direction
Ensuring understanding and application of knowledge
Interwoven application of Threat Error Management,
commercial and industry understanding
Development and assessment of the Core
Competencies - which require Knowledge, Skills &
Attitudes (KSA)

Which of the following answers best describes your view on developing
and assessing trainee knowledge, skills and attitudes in ground school?
a) GS courses should only address facts
b) Developing the trainee's understanding
and knowledge, skills and attitudes is
important and should commence on day
one of GS
c) GS is a costly and un-necessary phase in
pilot training
d) It is not possible to develop and assess
knowledge, skills and attitudes in GS - this
can only be done on the flight deck
EASA RMT .0595 LOs
Update learning objectives to:
• be current, relevant and essential (not just nice
to know)
• be based on latest technological advances and
current regulations and include UPRT
• include across subject application and
requirement to relate to relevant scenarios
• require interweaving of TEM and CRM
• require the development of skills
EASA RMT .0595 LOs
Learning objectives written to higher cognitive levels;
understand, apply, analyse, evaluate and create.
Examples: describe, explain, apply, calculate,
interpret, analyse, discuss, estimate, determine,
plan, evaluate, review, demonstrate
Reduction in number of state, define and list LOs

Systems course design:
Analysis
Design & development
Evaluation
Robust ATO SMS and compliance processes
Work and be overseen within the performance based
environment
Develop our next generation of ground instructors
through training:
Ground Instructor Core Courses could include; core
competencies and instructor competencies, CRM,
TEM, teaching and learning, facilitation methods,
resilience and mentoring/tutoring
Subject aviation knowledge and practical skill training
at appropriate
& Benefits
Trainee & Sponsor:
Trainee learns rapidly through range of learning
styles and ‘learning by exploring’
• increases trainee motivation, understanding and
retention
Trainee receives up to date training, directly related to
future career which:
• ensures greater value for training costs
• reduces exposure to later training risk

If you were in ground school would you prefer to learn about a
system such as the CDU/FMS or autopilot by:
a) Listening to a PowerPoint lecture
b) Reading a manual
c) Rote learning exam answers
d) Learning by exploring with facilitated
teaching
Industry
benefits from improved output from ab-initio training
system which:
increases number of competent pilots available for
selection
European Industry Questionnaire results;
‘A student’s ability to relate knowledge between
subjects and to scenario situations is important
for later training effectiveness.’
