Year in Review

Record Setting The civil aviation industry has been busy these past few years setting a number of historical records, including aircraft orders, personnel demand and most importantly – safety. 2012 represented the safest year ever recorded, and with the introduction of an entirely new generation of efficient aircraft, and the continual gravitational shift to the east, the training and simulation sector is evolving in concert. New S&T technology offers “anytime, anywhere” training, and increasingly, the sector is becoming evidence-based and data-driven. CAT Editor in Chief Chris Lehman provides highlights.

n June of this year IATA raised the profit forecast for carriers in 2013 due to better capacity discipline and higher load factors - expected to reach a record 80.3 percent this year - as well as lower than expected fuel prices. But despite 5.3% traffic growth in 2012, carriers are still struggling with wafer thin profitability. Overall global operating profit margins are projected at 3.3% for 2013, with North American airlines forecasted at 4.2% on net earnings of $4.4 billion and Europe at a mere 1.3% on net earnings of $1.6 billion. By comparison, Asian carriers are projected to have earnings of $4.6 billion in 2013. Major carriers are enjoying stronger profitability than smaller rivals, particularly in the US where industry consolidation will reduce the number of airlines from eight legacy carriers a decade ago to just four as a result of the merger between American Airlines and US Airways. The industry has also witnessed the IAG - Vueling and Continental - United consolidations, and the frenzy is probably not over. And there are other dynamics, including the blurring of the differences between “low-cost carriers” (LCC’s) and “full service” airlines. With business models fragmenting, the push for efficiency in operations has become the dominant industry characteristic, helping drive the demand for the new generation fuel-efficient aircraft. We would like to say that widespread concern over the supply of qualified personnel has become another dominant industry characteristic, but the evidence is not yet apparent. 06

Safe and Secure The 2012 global Western-built jet accident rate of 0.20 is the lowest ever recorded, and IATA has boasted that for their member airlines it was actually zero in 2012. Aviation Safety Network (ASN) President Harro Ranter said: “Since 1997 the average number of airline accidents has shown a steady and persistent decline, probably for a great deal thanks to the continuing safety-driven efforts by international aviation organisations such as ICAO, IATA, Flight Safety Foundation and the aviation industry.” Industry safety performance is laudable, but if there is a negative, it is the fact that the story varies significantly by region. Africa remains the worst offender, accounting for 22% of all fatal airliner accidents, yet it represents just 3% of aircraft departures. But IATA and the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) are determined to bring the continent’s carriers up to snuff before the deadline to achieve IATA IOSA certification in

2015. Two countries drag down safety the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan - and account for 50% of Africa’s accidents each year. AFRAA secretary general Elijah Chingosho says conflicts have raged in these countries for a long time, stating “You need security to create an environment where you can have safe operations.” Runway excursions, in which an aircraft departs a runway during a landing or takeoff, were the most common type of accident in 2012 (28% of total). Most excursions occur when the aircraft floated beyond the normal touchdown point, braking devices did not activate in a timely manner, or because directional control was not maintained. Although the runway excursion accident rate increased in 2012, the five-year trend in accidents is downward, in part because Flight Data Analysis (FDA) programs are increasingly being used to help identify the precursors. Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) is receiving an enormous amount of attention from the industry of late, and training programs are being introduced. In 2012 there were six accidents (compared to 10 in 2010), and these occurrences resulted in the most fatalities (43% of all fatal accidents and 60% of all fatalities from 20082012). Over the last few years, a great deal of work has been done on LOC-I mitigation, and at one point some 18 separate organisations/initiatives were under-

way. ICAO’s Loss of Control Avoidance and Recovery Training (LOCART) committee of civil aviation authorities received input from the International Committee for Aviation Training in Extended Envelopes (ICATEE). ICAO intends to publish a Manual on Aeroplane Upset Prevention and Recovery by the end of 2013 (essentially a regulator’s handbook for UPRT program quality assurance) which is derived from ICATEE work and also the long-standing Airbus/Boeing/Flight Safety Foundation “Airplane Upset Recovery Training Aid.” The latter advisory document has been updated since it appeared in 1998, but it has not been widely utilized in its entirety despite its relevance. ICATEE also proposed amendments to ICAO Doc 9625 on FSTD Qualification and this should be complete first quarter 2014. There remain different viewpoints as to the need for an onaircraft training component at the initial licensing level, as well as in jet transport category operations. And there is concern

Year in Review about simulators being able to model the range of “edge-ofenvelope” flight regimes and not introducing negative training, even though there is increasing evidence that “aircraft type-representative” (not type-specific) simulator models are completely adequate for training and should not be cost-prohibitive. Further, there is an emphasis on prevention from regulators, but given the wide range of stall and post-stall dynamics and loss of control scenarios, many believe these should be explored in an integrated program of simulator, aircraft and aerodynamic academic instruction. Automated and “envelope-protected” aircraft offer additional levels of protection, however they are not immune to upsets because of the role of the pilot. Sunjoo Advani, chairman of ICATEE said “What we see in all upsets is the response of the pilot to an unexpected situation – to startle, to being frozen, to having a loss of cognitive control, of understanding the situation and being able to interact appropriately.” Aviation Performance Solutions (APS) is one of a number of companies that offers integrated simulator, on-aircraft and academic training in UPRT and recently opened up a new centre in Holland, in addition to their Mesa and Dallas operations, and also has a cooperation agreement with CAE.

More Tin Another year, another aircraft order record, with seemingly no end in sight. Airbus won 914 gross orders for the year, and delivered 588 aircraft, shattering their previous record of 534 delivered in 2011. The 2012 deliveries included 103 wide-bodies and 455 single aisle, plus 30 A380s. Some 80% of Airbus orders and deliveries were for A320 family aircraft, and Airbus unveiled plans in July 2012 to construct a final assembly plant in Mobile, Alabama, dedicated to the production of the A320 family of aircraft. This facility is seen as the future “epicenter of commercial activity” for North American operations. Boeing outran Airbus in 2012, bagging 1,339 orders, and 601 deliveries with the bulk of these - some 70% of deliveries and 88% of orders - for the B737 family. The company delivered 46 of their new generation B787 aircraft, 31 B747-8 and 83 B777. By the time of the Paris Air Show sales extravaganza in June, it was clear that records would continue to be broken. Airbus and Boeing split about $135 billion in new orders, more than 2.5 times the total orders the companies realised at Farnborough 2012. But if Farnborough 2012 was all about A320neo and B737MAX sales, Paris was all about the new generation of long haul, fuel-efficient and “green” wide-bodies, although hundreds of narrow-bodies were also sold. With fuel costs accounting for half of operating costs, and looming carbon emissions rules such as the EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme, the race is on to secure the right fleet mix to remain profitable as the industry expands. Airbus test flew its A350XWB during Paris and Boeing announced a 787-10 stretched version. Boeing received several dozen orders for the 787 during the show and has more than 100 commitments for the 787-10 from five European, Asian and North American customers, which it said it would start delivering in 2018. Airbus secured 69 new orders for the A350, bringing the aircraft’s backlog to 362. Boeing’s total take at Paris was 442 orders and commitments, while Airbus claimed 466. 08

C A T M A G A Z INE 4 . 2 0 1 3

Other vendors such as ATR also did extremely well with 55 orders, and Brazil’s Embraer launched its new generation of E-Jets, gaining orders for 365 aircraft, led by customers SkyWest and ILFC. The reengined aircraft, the largest of which can carry 130 passengers, can compete with A320 and B737 narrow-bodies. Analysts have cautioned that the sales party over the last several years has left Airbus and Boeing with large backlogs and most of the new A350s and B787 jets ordered at Paris won’t be delivered for 4-5 years. Analyst Nick Cunningham in London said the volume of orders “has to come down, partly because of the constraint in supply… if you want to have an A350 or B787 you are going to wait a long time.” And air carriers were warned that too much capacity brought on-line too quickly will drive down fares. The balance is delicate. Nevertheless, Boeing raised its annual 20 year forecast by 3.8 percent, now projecting a need for 35,280 aircraft worth $4.8 trillion. And despite the recent interest in the new generation wide-bodies, much of the projection continues to be for single-aisle aircraft, the workhorse of the industry.

Year in Review Randy Tinseth, vice president marketing at Boeing said “There’s no sign of a bubble… every indicator we see in the market says that demand is real and there’s a need to increase production.” Boeing predicts that 787 Dreamliner production will double to 10 a month by end of the year and the 737 will rise to 42 a month in 2014. The forecast claims the world’s fleet will double in two decades to 41,000, and anticipates a surge in Asia-Pacific travel, but assumes a downward forecast for Europe and North America. The increase in the forecast reflects strong demand - some 24,670 - for the B737 and A320, with much of that demand coming from Asian carriers. “There’s no doubt the industry’s center of gravity is moving from the US to Asia. Right now, 37 percent of all traffic touches Asia - by 2032 it will approach 50”, said Tinseth.

Simulation & Training In the last year and a half, the full flight simulator manufacturing “club” has expanded, with new participants from both large aerospace vendors and upstart companies. Most of the FFS “vendors” also provide training services, and it is a growing challenge to segment these two industry components. It is also difficult to tally global annual “competitive” FFS sales due to the reporting convention of the major players such as CAE whose fiscal year end is March, and because some of this company’s FFS production is destined for its own training centers and joint-venture alliances. There is, however a slow upward FFS sales trend as one would expect given the aircraft sales tsunami of the last five years. The peak was recorded in 2007, with some 55 FFS sold competitively from all vendors. Sales dropped to a mere 27 in 2009. CAT estimates that 2012 competitive FFS annual sales were in the range of 43-45. It’s interesting to note that CAT`s simulator census for the first time now reports China in second place after the US for world simulator installations, with 100 machines. CAE reported fiscal 2013 sales (end March) at 35 machines, with 15 so far for fiscal 2014 which began April 1. Of those 35 machines, almost two-thirds were for the Asian market, again dove-tailing with the aircraft sales picture and forecast. The fiscal 2014 sales include B737NG, A320 and A330 simulators for Turkish Airlines, Embraer E190, S92 and AW139 helicopter simulators for Azerbaijan Airlines, and seven for Etihad, including 787, A320, A380 and A350. The company opened another simulator spares depot in Shanghai to support the more than 80 CAE simulators in the country. And CAE continues to expand on the training services side, now boasting 48 global training locations with 225 FFS in that network. The acquisition of Oxford Aviation Academy (OAA) now allows an end-to-end pilot training solution and with CAE Parc Aviation, the company is now engaged in the pilot provisioning market, another growing sector. FlightSafety International specializes in Corporate and Regional Airline training, and operates 40 international Learning Centers. Its modern simulator manufacturing facility in Broken Arrow, OK, is amongst the world’s most advanced, but much of its production is for the use of its own training centers. It does compete on the open market, and recently bagged orders for

China 100

an A320 FFS in China to train Tibet Airlines pilots, an Embraer 190 for Aeromexico, and an Embraer 170/190 for Flybe. L-3’s acquisition of Crawley-based Thales has re-branded the company as L-3 Link Simulation & Training UK, and it is now aggressively pursuing the civil simulation market, particularly in Asia. It has opened a Chinese support centre in Beijing and added a RealitySeven A330 FFS to its Asian Aviation Training Center in Bangkok. There’s a third A320 FFS for Sichuan Airlines on the way, and more A320 FFS’s for Spring Airlines. Further, the company won a RealitySeven B777-300 order for the Boeing Singapore Training Campus, and achieved Level D qualifications for both its British Airways A380 and ANA B777 simulators. Rockwell Collins is another major US aerospace company that has pushed into the FFS sector, banking on its brand awareness. But it has taken time. Over the last 10 years, Rockwell Collins bought Evans & Sutherland’s visual business, NLX, SEOS Displays, and Blue Ridge Simulation. A joint-venture with Beijing BlueSky Aviation Technology was recently announced, in order to produce FFS for Chinese and global markets. Rockwell has some experience with BlueSky, having previously cooperated on the C919 and the MA60/MA600 programs. Some believe this initiative could give a Chinese company the eventual ability to independently compete on the world stage with western simulator companies. Yet another large aerospace company that has jumped onto the civil simulation bandwagon is Lockheed Martin, having purchased Netherlands-based Sim-Industries


two years ago. With its B737 and A320 capabilities, Lockheed Martin is showing some recent muscle, having won a two B767 FFS contract from FedEx, and an A320 from ST Aerospace Academy based in Singapore and Australia which will be used for MPL primary training. The company is heavily involved in training partnerships and has opened centers in many parts of Asia including Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka and South Korea. Montreal-based Mechtronix has reorganised, and recently was chosen by Boeing for a B737NG device for their Singapore training center, and in early spring delivered a Level D B737NG to SIM Aerotraining. The company has also provided an A320 FFS to low cost Japanese carrier Starflyer, and has enjoyed a long term relationship with CAFUC in China, having supplied several dozen devices, including a Citation CJ1. Frasca International is generally known for lower order training devices including servicing the US collegiate market, but it too has FFS capability, recently securing an order for a Citation

CJ1 machine, from Nanshan International Flight Academy in China. And a surprising new entrant emerged at the Paris Air Show, Belgian-based Venyo demonstrated its B737 simulator which it hopes will serve as the nucleus of a training services business line.

Piloting the Future There’s no sign of any pullback in the huge pilot demand forecasts CAT has reported on these pages over past years. Many different forecasts have been published but the average is around 23,000 new pilots per year, with Asian demand particularly highlighted as world aircraft fleets triple in that region and double globally. Over the last 15 years the industry has been bombarded with dire warnings of shortages but they were not realised, mostly due to an external event that “saved” the day, whether it was economic crisis, the SARS outbreak or the relief from the US age 65 rule. But particularly in the last year the forecasts are converging and concern is broadening.

Airlines for America forecasts that in the US 60,000 pilots will be needed by 2025 to replace accelerating retirement departures (it’s now five years later), and cover expansion. Captain John Bent, an IATA Consultant, has extensively presented on the subject. “Current spare US training capacity, now used by many airlines in Asia, could become completely absorbed by this US-alone demand,” he said. In China specifically, the CAAC is estimating that 18,000 new recruits are needed in the next two years, by 2015. In these growth environments, the quality and relevance of training – including selection – is the largest concern. Upset prevention and recovery occupies a great deal of attention as previously stated, and go-around incidents and landing fixation issues have again emerged, but despite the plethora of guidance material on all aspects of training and the large number of stakeholder groups, there is inconsistency in training standards globally, and an uneven mix of prescriptive and competency-based training regimes.

Year in Review A focus on the complete training footprint, from ab-initio to jet transport qualification, with global acceptance is increasingly understood to be needed, even if few understand how to actually get there. The proven, structured and competency-based Multi-Crew Pilots License (MPL) is a large step forward, and can boast of some success outside of the US with its emphasis on screening and selection, UPRT, Threat and Error Management (TEM) and defined core competencies. MPL does require FFS access, airline sponsorship, and is airline and equipment specific - as a result it is often seen to be less attractive to the US market. About 1,000 candidates have become MPL graduates to date, and the quality of the candidates is encouraging, even if the quantities are limited. In the US, the long-awaited - and controversial - new First Officer Qualification (FOQ) has come into effect as of August 1, as a result of the 2010 Airline Safety and FAA Extension Act. The rule requires F/Os to hold an ATP certificate with 1,500 hours flight time. It is possible to qualify for a restricted ATP license with fewer than 1,500 hours as the rules stipulate that pilots can serve as secondin-command crew members for Part 121 carriers with “restricted privileges” if they are an ex-military pilot with at least 750 hours total time; be a graduate holding an aviation bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 1,000 hours total time; or hold an aviation associate’s degree and have at least 1,250 hours. The regulation specifies that pilots flying with restricted ATP licenses (now referred to as an R-ATP) serve as second in command officers only “in domestic, flag, and supplemental operations not requiring more than two pilot flight crew members.” ATP pilots must be at least 23 years old, but the rule also allows pilots who are at least 21 years old to serve as first officers under the restricted privileges section of the rule. Almost immediately, some aviation colleges such as EmbryRiddle issued press releases outlining the benefits of their program in which candidates can receive their ATPs in 1,000 hrs under the exemption, and an aircraft type rating due to their FFS access – all at age 21. But candidates will still have to work as flight instructors for a longer period of 12

C A T M A G A Z INE 4 . 2 0 1 3

time or engage in other flying employment to obtain the required flight hours. There’s no question the new requirements will shut the door on career opportunities for some low-time pilots and make it harder for airlines to find qualified applicants. US regional carriers have been anticipating these new realities, however, and have largely been able to say they are “ready” for the new environment, even if they cannot forecast what their pilot pipeline will look like in the near future. Roger Cohen, President of the Regional Airline Association (RAA) stated: “As we’ve said all along, the changes will impact the future supply of pilots and could imperil service to 500 communities across the US which rely on regional airlines exclusively... we are hopeful that the FAA will take additional steps to help bring more highly trained aviators... into an airline career.” The biggest additional step would be to construct pilot training funding schemes. Globally, there is still a lack of access to training funding - although Asian and Gulf countries do better in this regard. Lack of training funding continues to have a negative impact on the attractiveness of the sector. One positive recent development was the introduction in the UK of the Higher Apprenticeship in Professional Aviation Pilot Practice (HAPAPP) which enables aviation training to qualify for government assistance (see CAT 3-2013).

Trend Lines The recent accident in SFO as a result of a late Go-Around focused attention again on crew resource issues, automation overreliance and landing fixation. Only some 3% of unstable approaches result in a Go-Around, and they are usually a surprise to the crew and rarely performed at the briefed missed-approach height. Similar to the issue of UPRT, the opportunity to mitigate these issues is provided with recurrent training, as driven by FOQA data and evidence. Airline cultures influence how simulator assets are viewed. Are they focused on task-based checking to meet minimum regulatory standards, or are they powerful training mediums that can also be used to “train-out” relevant issues uncovered by operational evidence?

Accident patterns clearly indicate that lack of situational awareness, inability to use raw data and continuing overreliance on automation are lingering issues. In the case of the recent SFO accident, the inoperative ILS and clear weather resulted in a visual approach which the crew apparently was unprepared for. The power of Evidence-Based Training is indisputable, but several training organizations have indicated to CAT that they feel overwhelmed with the volume of training and operational data, as it can be a challenge to prioritize it and find the resources to turn it into mitigating curriculum. Some have suggested that there is an analogy to the childhood game of “whack-a-mole” - we solve one issue and another always pops up. The analogy is unfair, given the high safety performance of the industry, but it reminds us that we are dealing with the symptoms of a much larger issue. That is, the quality and relevance of training, right back to the primary phase. Screening and selection is hugely important, as is a competency-based approach. But the enormous volume of industry and ICAO/ national regulatory guidance can be unevenly interpreted and applied, with much depending on the culture of the operator, and his geographic origin. As a result, there have been renewed calls for global, standardized training for the industry, and one promising outcome has been the creation of the International Pilot Training Consortium (IPTC). IPTC`s mandate is to obtain international agreement on the implementation of ICAO guidance regarding a common set of global pilot training, instruction and evaluation standards. IPTC signatories are ICAO, RAeS, IATA, and IFALPA. WATS 2013 last April highlighted a discernible and important training trend, and that has been the increasing recognition of the need to focus on training “outcomes” and not the process itself. This view actually extends to the simulator as well – CAT has always maintained that the simulator is merely one of the tools used to achieve the required level of training and human performance. The future holds the promise of these tools being classified by the training outcomes and competencies they deliver, rather than their technical specifications. cat

National Focus

Indonesia – Building up the Flight Crew Numbers Indonesia is one of the world’s fastest growing aviation markets, and its training industry is advancing in parallel. Chris Long reports from this developing country.

I

n recent years the specialists in the commercial aviation training world have focussed successively on the regions where the major aircraft orders have been placed. Where once the Gulf region was the immediate source of interest, attention moved to China, and then to Asia as a whole. The task to train for the incoming fleets in those markets continues, but the parallel demands of training to support the expansion of commercial flying in Indonesia has frequently been overlooked. With a year-on-year underlying national economic growth of 6%, there is evidence to support the claim that Indonesia is the fastest growing aviation market in the world – and that inevitably means that there is a major training task to match that growth. There are some basic statistics to help understand the scale of that requirement; Indonesia is an archipelago of about 17,500 islands distributed across about 3000 miles. The population of just under 240 million people from a rich diversity of cultures is dispersed over about 6000 of these islands. Such a distribution means that surface transport falls short of matching the increasing travel demands of the 21st century. Commercial aviation can provide an essential resource to encourage a wide range of economic and social development. One indicator of the present division of transport is that, according to some government sources, only six percent of the population has so far travelled by air. Recent record-breaking aircraft orders are an indication of the national intent to expand to match the demand generated by an increasingly large domestic travelling public. By 2021 this domestic market is forecast to grow from 60 million in 2011 to 180 million. Present plans anticipate the 14

arrival of 900 new aircraft due over that timescale, and that points to a potential demand for about 800 new pilots a year.

Sourcing New Pilots Within Indonesia the government infrastructure clearly allocates the responsibilities in addressing this requirement. One organisation, the Air Transportation Human Resources Development Centre (ATHRDC), an agency within the Ministry of Transportation, is headed up by Yudhi Sari, who explains that the role of that department is to identify the need, to scope the training tasks and to define the objectives to prepare aviation professionals for the full range of disciplines in the industry. It also has the responsibility of providing the training for all government employees in the aviation sector. The definition of the training packages is done in consultation with appropriate specialist governmental departments, training organisations and subject matter experts. The ATHRDC is the source for all the training material provided to the Approved Training Organisations (ATOs).

The role of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation in training is to define and advise on regulatory requirements which must be satisfied before licence issue, and it also maintains oversight of the training process at the ATOs. An illustration of the way this works is that, for instance, Yudhi's team is working in conjunction with Boeing Flight Services to formulate a Multi-crew Pilot Licence (MPL) course. The DGCA will then have to approve that it conforms to ICAO and international licensing requirements. The eventual aim is to source all pilots from within Indonesia, but at the moment many are recruited from overseas. This has sometimes proved to be problematic, as experience has shown that the quality of some of those expatriates, in particular low time pilots, falls well short of the essential skills necessary for commercial operation. To address this problem, in January 2013 the DGCA published a regulation which now requires a minimum of 250 hours on type for new foreign hires. The present ab initio pilot training

infrastructure in Indonesia consists of 15 ATOs, of which two are run by the ATHRDC. The theoretical combined maximum capacity of all the ATOs is 420 new pilots annually, but actually the throughput is less than that, so it would appear that there is a shortfall in matching the annual demand; for the moment the top up has to be solved through the continued recruiting of expat pilots. The common challenge of ATOs around the world is largely one of financing - both for the school itself to acquire modern equipment and, critically, for the student pilot who has to find his/her own funding. Indonesia is no different in this respect; however, some local issues have their own impact. For instance training aircraft bought from overseas are classed as “luxury items� and an import tax of 67% is imposed on them. This is itself a major barrier to updating the training fleets. As elsewhere, there is a chronic shortage of suitable instructors – in a system largely based on FAA regulation, the pattern of gradually acquiring CPL/

IR, Multi Engine Rating etc. leading to hours building until a job can be found with an airline, has resulted in the classic flow of young instructors to airlines as soon as the hiring starts, leaving a gap in the instructor teams. The concept of training to competency has not yet been embraced here, and there is huge pressure to provide training in the shortest time and at the lowest possible cost; consequently the quality of that training is not always certain. Although at the moment no specific regulation exists for the provision of a MPL, that has become a clear objective of the ATHRDC, and as mentioned earlier, there is very close cooperation with Boeing and the DGCA to put such a programme in place. This would address the issue of competency right from the start and thus would provide a pipeline of national pilots directly to the airlines. Of course one of the challenges is to identify suitable and willing airline partners as part of that pattern, and there are signs that some of those are now being identified.

National Focus Planning Ahead There is recognition that there needs to be an expansion of the training capacity, and this is being led by the ATHRDC. It already administers six training organisations across the country. A new training facility will be opened at Banyuwangi East Java and this will provide additional capacity. These academies provide training for maintenance teams, air traffic controllers, as well as the two schools ATOs which deliver ab initio pilot training. The ATC academy graduated 100 controllers last year, and the plans are to use good simulation and new methodologies to reduce the training time from the current diploma-based course duration of two years to about nine months of competency-based ATC training. Until recently, a degree was an essential criterion for entry into the national training facilities. This has now been modified to allow new entries to compete in the selection processes without a degree. However they are encouraged to continue to work for a degree once they have completed their professional training. The key to the new philosophy of training is to establish and maintain competency. One interesting initiative is the recruiting and sponsoring of student pilots from within the Ministry of Transportation. These selected candidates (this year 20 were chosen from a group of 100 volunteers), will be sponsored for the cost of the training, but will then have to take on the role of instructors for five years before being released to the airlines. This system has two advantages – it opens the door to employees who cannot afford training from their own resources, and also starts to build the number of instructors available to the ATOs. It is hoped that some of those who follow the pattern may well choose to stay with the ATOs to build up the cadre of professional instructors.

Private Initiatives Whilst the government is taking action to ramp up training, there are also opportunities for private organisations to become involved. One example of this is the first independent training organisation in Indonesia which can provide pilot type rating and recurrent training. The Jakarta Aviation Training Center (JATC) was established in 2010 and became operational in January 2011. It is a joint venture, with Indonesian shareholders having a 51% interest, the remaining 49% being held by Sim-Industries (Lockheed Martin). So far two full flight simulators (FFS) manufactured in the Netherlands by Sim-Industries, have been installed; a Boeing 737NG and an Airbus A320. Stella Aviation, also based in the Netherlands, manages the training organisation and provides manuals, instructors and the administrative support. Andrew Chalmers, General Manager, says that the organisation has approval from the Indonesian DGCA as a training facility, as well as an EASA approval as a Type Rating Training Organisation (TRTO) through the Dutch national aviation authority. Whilst Indonesian airlines use this facility there is also a market for the self-sponsored students to get a well-recognised qualification, and the links to the local ATOs to encourage this flow are gradually opening up.

Training Rollout Historically Indonesia has not had a strong culture of aviation training, but the recognition of the demand for quality training to 16

cope with the increase in commercial aviation, has spurred both the government and private business to prepare modern training facilities and processes. The scale of demand is itself a challenge, and answering it will also require a change of approach and attitudes within the traditional training infrastructure. Training organisations have generally operated independently of each other, so there are obvious benefits in co-operating – perhaps through joint purchasing and sharing of best-practice training patterns. Whilst school leavers close to the capital, Jakarta, may have an awareness of aviation as a career opportunity, that message does not necessarily reach to all the scattered cultures and populations within the Indonesian archipelago. One of the additional tasks of the industry is to raise the profile of aviation more generally to ensure a continuous stream of good candidates - one of the encouraging things is that the role of a pilot is still well regarded. There is no doubt of the determination of government departments such as the ATHRDC and the initiative of the JATC to introduce methodologies and processes appropriate to the 21st century. These organisations have already embraced the principles of top-down safety culture and embedded safety management systems, together with competency-based training. There will no doubt be hurdles to overcome in order to spread this new culture more widely within commercial aviation in Indonesia, but already some airlines are enthusiastic about this change of philosophy, and have adopted best practice from the broader global aviation community.

Work in Progress Indonesia is keen to match the global standards in training and operating in commercial aviation. The first steps to achieve this have already been taken, and the vision has been clearly established. It now falls to the talents of government, together with global and local expertise, to work together to guarantee the training necessary to ensure the safe and efficient introduction of the new aircraft fleets as they arrive. cat



Visual Technologies

New Visual Technologies on Display With new projection technologies entering the entertainment, scientific and home theater markets, Chuck Weirauch spoke with leaders in the civil aviation simulation industry to gain their perspective on how, when, and if such technologies might become available in this market in the near future.

T

he goal of eye-limiting resolution has long been the Holy Grail for those in the flight simulator business, and now that goal seems achievable with the 4K projectors coming to commercial market. But whether the advantage of a resolution of four times that of conventional HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) will provide enough benefits over cost considerations is open to debate. According to Dan Myers, marketing director for FlightSafety International's Visual Simulation Systems, his company is seeing that now for the most part 4K projectors are being put on contract to replace older technology. "4K allows us to reduce the projector count and therefore the IG channel count," Myers said. "This makes it less expensive than the current technology, but with higher quality and pixel count. Customers are using this technology to actually reduce the cost by fewer projectors and fewer channel counts. We can also use this 4K technology for eye-limiting resolution requirements. However, we see that as very few and far between, at least for the time being, since that still requires an enormous amount of channel and projector count. We do see it in the future, but probably not for a few years because of the acquisition cost." But rather than moving towards higher resolution projectors, those that are capable of providing a higher frame rate may

18

CA T M AGA Z INE 4 . 2 0 1 3

be more of a near-term solution, Myers pointed out. Going from a 60 Hertz frame rate to a 120 Hertz frame rate sharpens the image immediately. So one trend that could emerge is 120 Hertz projectors being used to provide much higher dynamic resolution as an alternative to 4K, he said. Graham Watson, Visual Product manager for L-3 UK's Civil Simulation Product Group, said that although it may be that 4K could become affordable, at this stage his company believes that it is not necessary for what is needed as far as regulatory requirements are concerned. Alternatively, L-3 is offering HD resolution on each image generator channel, along with offering as an option a WQXGA format, 4 million pixel projector. "With this solution, we can see some real advantages, such as runway recognition at range, better light point fidelity and the legibility of sign boards," Watson said. "So 4K will come with the march of

projector technology, but we are already seeing the benefits of improved resolution, and indeed a larger field of view." Graham Olive, Technical Lead in the L-3 Product Authority Group, explained just how his division is working on expanding fields of view for full flight simulators for newer aircraft. "Along with the various aircraft types, we are working with the new Airbus A350 simulators with very large and curved cockpit windows, so we are putting an effort in trying to fill the field of view from those windows to get rid of some of the artifacts and even the glazing. So rather than going to ultra-high resolutions, we are going to optimize filling the field of view beyond what the regulations require." Dennis Hartley, Chief Systems Engineer for Visual Systems for Rockwell Collins Simulation, Visualization and Training Systems (SVTS) said that his company has provided simulators equipped with 4K projectors to the US Air Force for air refueling training and for a Mitsubishi Regional Jet full flight simulator. However, he does not foresee their use for commercial aircraft training in the near future, since there are no FAA requirements for them.

Laser Projection Laser projectors are now lighting up cinema screens, but it will still be some time before they are employed for flight simulators. FSI's Myers considers laser projectors as "that fruit on the tree" that still can't be acquired just yet for simulation but holds promise for the future.� "It's still expensive, and I think that there are still some

safety concerns," Myers said. “But certainly lasers would provide us with the kind of contrast that we so desire, and for many applications, especially on the military side. So the laser has the promise of much better contrast, a larger field of view capability and increased resolution potential. But this will come down to cost and life cycle cost once the technology is available". Both L-3's Watson and Olive had worked together to develop a laser light point projector, but that effort proved to be "not right for the market" when LCoS technology emerged. "Certainly we are aware that there are laser light technologies being used," Sanjay Kale, L-3's Authority Group Manager said. "But the main problem with lasers is speckle, and it is a desperately difficult thing to overcome sufficiently."

3D Stereoscopic Kale said that his company has not developed any 3D stereoscopic maintenance trainers, but it is something that they are "keeping a close eye on".

Visual Technologies "At this point, it might not be quite good enough for training," Kale conjectured. "And we are not sure if it can be used over an extended period of time because of possible eyestrain." Hartley, however, pointed out that there very well could be a future beyond maintenance training applications in civil aviation for 3D stereoscopic projection. He bases his opinion on the fact that by next year nearly all projectors will be 3D capable. When employing these newer projectors in a simulator, all that would be needed to provide that capability would be to add an additional channel out of the image generator. Then training providers would have 3D with a collimated display, he summed up. "We have had some interest from a customer who sees advantages in using 3D for improving docking training when aircraft are pulling up to the gate and for other ground maneuvers," Hartley said. "You could just turn on the 3D capability when you are training ground maneuvers. There is also potential in helicopter training, but the question is whether you can get pilots to use 3D glasses."

Solid State Illumination According to Bruno Cacciola, CAE's Director of Product Strategy and Marketing, the company will soon be offering a 4.1 megapixel LED projector, the projectiondesign FL 35, to its customers as an option for its lineup of full flight simulators. The offering will be made in conjunction with the recent release of CAE's advanced Tropos XR image generation system. "The goal was to provide a higher resolution product in order to leverage commercial off-the-shelf products and offer more capability than we have been able to offer in the past," Cacciola said. "LED also brings advantages beyond just resolution. LED provides better life cycle costs as far as the total cost of the acquisition. This light source is more stable than what we have had in the past, with some of the LCoS applications in terms of less shift in color and brightness, and it also reduces maintenance costs." John Hester, General Manager of FSI Visual Simulation Systems, feels that the next step in projection technology 20

CA T M AGA Z INE 4 . 2 0 1 3

is in the realm of the LED diode, where the light source has a much greater life than the lamp technologies that are used today. L-3's Kale said that the company is "acutely aware" that customers are concerned about the lifecycle costs of LCoS projectors. That is why the firm is offering LED projectors when customers request them. In fact, LED projectors are currently being used in L-3 civil aviation training centers, he pointed out. "LED illuminators definitely have a part to play," Kale emphasized. "There may be a window where LED is an extremely good alternative to LCoS before there is one with a laser diode or some sort of solid-state laser illumination comes along." Hartley said that he is looking forward to laser-illuminated projectors, because they are brighter and have contrast ratios in the same range as what LCoS projectors currently provide. But rather than a laser-only projector, he speculated that hybrid projectors that incorporate laser diodes will reach the simulation market sooner. "I think that you are going to see a lot of DLP manufacturers come up with laser-phosphor projectors to get higher brightness with a solid-state light source," Hartley said. "There is also going to be laser-illuminated LCoS technology as well within the next couple of years. These projectors will offer better brightness and a better color gamut with a solid-state light source for a better life cycle cost. Overall, I think that that solid state is going to become the dominant thing, and will replace lamp technology."

Trends According to Bob Brantley, manager of Image Generation and Content Products at Rockwell Collins SVTS, in the next two to three years providers of image generators could find themselves facing "a major disruption in the market" for the advanced off-the shelf PC graphics cards that have revolutionized the quality and cost-effectiveness of current simulator visual systems. This disruption, which would be fueled by the transition from central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) technology, to that of the next-generation accelerated

processing unit (APU) technology by card manufacturers, could make standard PC graphics cards that already are a part of IG systems, more expensive or more difficult to obtain, he explained. To offset this challenge, Rockwell has begun research on the early generation of APU technology, which Brantley said is currently "not ready for prime time in a realistic multi-channel simulation environment." But since APUs will offer significant advantages of requiring less power, a much faster data transfer rate and fewer components with less cost, Rockwell intends to have a product with this capability ready for the civil aviation market when the predicted disruption hits. One of the most significant advantages in employing the latest in commercial graphics cards and ever more powerful PC technology for image generators, is more realistic weather replication. But while significant advances have been made in this area, still much needs to be done to simulate actual atmospheric conditions. Hester said that the biggest computational challenge is that of simulating weather on a large scale. "This is really the grandest computational challenge out there," Hester emphasized. "We have just come out with a product that provides real-time dynamic shadowing and will be providing volumetric cloud simulation in the very near future. The goal is physicsbased rendering, which is where we are going to see the most benefit to the training experience, because it is going to add yet another whole dimension to what we already have." Brantley pointed out that Rockwell Collins already has a physics-based regional weather model available to customers. He added that his company is also looking at ways to tie in live weather streams to that model as well as linking in radar solutions into its image generators. In addition to more realistic dynamic weather representation, L-3's Olive pointed out that what customers are looking for is a much livelier airport scene with dynamic and static clutter to provide more realistic taxi training. Kale said that the company is looking toward adding airfield scenarios that are driven by some kind of artificial intelligence. cat



Procurement

FFS Procurement 101: Buyer’s Market Airlines and training centres seeking to acquire their own full-flight simulator have at least 10 Level D manufacturers to choose from. Rick Adams looks at the players and the process.

I

t’s a more-for-less market,” admits Dean Fisher, CAE’s global leader for simulation technology sales. CAE has dominated openly competitive sales of airline full flight simulators (FFS) for the past decade or more, almost at monopolistic levels with a market share of 70-80% of the 40 or so FFSs sold worldwide annually. The Montreal manufacturer is not expected to yield that position willingly, but now faces intensifying price pressure from at least four other vendors with deep pockets, as well as a handful of smaller companies capable of producing Level D FFSs. In the past couple of years, L-3 Communications and Lockheed Martin have bought into the civil simulator market via acquisition, Rockwell Collins has suddenly gotten aggressive with a China-focused strategy after being dormant for five years, and FlightSafety International (FSI) is also signaling a desire for more commercial aircraft sim manufacturing business. In some competitions, there may also be proposals offered by Mechtronix, Opinicus, Frasca, Indra, or even new sim-in-a-van players such as Venyo. If you represent a start-up airline seeking to purchase your first FFS, or an independent training centre, or even a major airline who is a long-time customer of traditional vendors, it’s a buyer’s market unlike any time in recent memory.

High Finance The competition is less about technology, which has almost become commoditised across the board: electric motion platforms, high-fidelity image generators, liquid crystal on silicon 22

(LCoS) display projectors, and a data package from the aircraft manufacturer which may absorb half or more of the initial procurement price. “Fifteen years ago, the focus was on technical merits. Today, decisions are made almost exclusively on price,” says John Van Maren, FSI director of programmes and customer support. CAE’s Fisher concurs. “There are new players in the process. The tech people are always a key function. But we’re seeing more and more financial leadership; that brings into the fold many other questions about what is important versus what is nice to have.” Sometimes the discussions lead to nontraditional financial arrangements. CAE’s strategy has emphasised joint ventures with major airlines in each region – for example, AirAsia and Emirates – coupled with long-term agreements to train the airline’s pilots. That provides a baseline usage for the simulator to justify the purchase price; excess time can be sold to other airlines and the proceeds shared between the JV partners. In other situations, the simulator manufacturer may agree to locate a simulator with an airline in return for a

5-, 10- or even 20-year services agreement, a concept sometimes referred to as “power by the hour” (the approach of Belgian-based Venyo and occasionally used by some of the larger vendors). In a few cases, a third-party organisation such as asset manager Black Rock may provide the simulator purchase funds (much like an aircraft lessor), while the training centre operates the device. Not surprisingly, the vendors with the longest pedigrees prefer to promote their staying power and depth. FSI, which opened its doors in 1951, has a ‘fleet’ of nearly 400 simulators at their commercial, business aviation and helicopter training centres worldwide. “We’re keenly aware of what is required to keep that fleet going,” notes Van Maren. “Smaller vendors have to amortise the development cost of upgrades and standards changes across a much smaller fleet.” CAE, launched in 1947, “has more than 100 people in customer support and 2200 engineers backing up the simulator design,” notes Fisher. “All of that knowhow and DNA are in the next simulator

going out the door.” For example, Fisher says CAE has produced more than 140 FFSs just for 737 variants. There are few start-ups in the current vendor mix, though. Even Mechtronix and Opinicus recently celebrated 25 years, and Frasca began 55 years ago. The “new” airline simulator entrants have substantial histories as well. Rockwell scooped up in succession simulator integrator NLX, image generator stalwart Evans & Sutherland, industry-leading SEOS Displays, and Blue Ridge Simulation. L-3 already had the iconic Link in its stable for military programs, and won the bidding for Thales’ civil simulator resources in the UK. Lockheed Martin, the largest US defence contractor, purchased the relatively youthful SIMIndustries (founded 2004) in 2011. Since full flight simulators are not inexpensive – from several million dollars for a narrow-body such as an Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 model to more than US$20 million for A380s and 747s – many focus on the up-front cost. L-3 Link Simulation & Training

Asia: Half the FFS Market? With roughly one-third of the world’s 35,000 new aircraft deliveries destined for the Asia-Pacific area over the next 20 years, according to Boeing’s forecast for 2013-2032, China and greater Asia are the prime battlegrounds for FFS sales. As many as 70% of those aircraft will be narrow-bodies, predominantly A320s and B737s, which are easier and cheaper to simulate than more complex wide-bodies. This relatively low barrier to entry invites new simulator vendors into the fray. Rockwell has a “grand plan” for China which leverages the company’s 30-year presence in the country and their involvement with the avionics suites of various aircraft being produced in the People’s Republic. “We are very focused to capture a share of that market. Our simulator product is well-regarded in the customer community, and our world-class visuals are a huge advantage,” explains LeeAnn Ridgeway, vice president and general manager of simulation and training solutions for Rockwell.

Despite buying the various pieces to fully assemble FFSs, Rockwell has bided its time since the 2008 recession. But meantime sent Andrew Morris, simulation and training business development leader, to pave the way for a joint venture with Beijing Bluesky Aviation Technology, a subsidiary (as so many aerospace companies in China are) of Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC). Rockwell and Bluesky have collaborated on simulators for the MA60, MA600 and C919 programs. Morris notes that Rockwell also has experience building 737 FFSs. The basic work split will see Bluesky handling the aircraftspecific cockpit module with Rockwell supplying the avionics suite, simulator motion, visual, and remaining infrastructure. “We can have 100% concurrency with the flight deck,” according to Ridgeway. Rockwell will license their architecture “but maintain IP [intellectual property] control.” She adds, “China will rely heavily on the Rockwell Collins brand, and the brand will be pivotal to penetrate outside China.” Not long ago, CAE was winning nearly every simulator competition in China, with sales veteran Nick Leontidis as point man. Now Leontidis is Group President for CAE’s civil aviation business. He’ll have his work cut out to remain the front-runner, as it seems just about every vendor has picked up a piece of the action in China and Asia. L-3 Link sold an A320 FFS to Sichuan Airlines and a 777-300ER to Boeing’s Singapore training centre. They also upgraded their Bangkok, Thailand facility with a new A330 FFS, and upgraded the ATR42/72 device there.

president Lenny Genna says his team is focused on “making sure life-cycle costs are as small as possible. The device will be running around the clock. It needs to be as efficient as possible. It needs to upgraded very quickly.” Genna suggests that an FFS acquisition price which is marginally $100,000 less, but illdesigned for the long term, may well result in a million dollars or more in added cost over the 25- to 30-year life of the device. Genna also advises prospective customers, “You don’t necessarily have to buy a whole new simulator. If a device was originally designed for X, we can make it a Y; just the cockpit module can be replaced.” The motion base, image generator and visual display can all be reused.

Tech Tweaks Despite technology’s diminishing importance in the purchase equation, simulator companies continue to seek an edge. CAE recently unveiled the ‘XR’ variant of its Tropos-6000 image generator, which includes “precise and highly realistic replication” of airport lighting, including through fog conditions. Dynamic shadows are said to be correlated with sun position, and are cast across the ground, buildings, and moving vehicles. CAE is also offering a utility which enables customers to customise each airport. CAE is beginning to incorporate its Simulator Operations Quality Assurance (SOQA) capability into some new customer devices. SOQA features data and video capture to produce animated visualisation tools for post-FFS debrief. Rockwell’s EP-8000 high-end image generator has been “an overwhelming success,” claims Ridgeway, who says the company’s IGs own “the highest channel count in the market.” Even while competing with CAE and FSI for simulator sales, Rockwell often supplies the visuals for competitor FFSs owing to longstanding customer preferences. FSI is the only one offering rigid glass mirror displays on motion


for commercial aircraft simulators, thanks to their acquisition of Glass Mountain Optics. Van Maren cites the “tremendous brightness and clarity,” including better shadows, sun angle, and special helicopter effects such as rotorwash, plus no distortion at the outer edges of the scene. He also points out that mylar, the stretched film used by other simulator manufacturers for their visual displays, “cannot be cleaned” and often tears or gets scratched. Typical glass configuration is 220 degrees horizontal by 60 degrees vertical, but FSI has gone beyond 300 degrees. FSI is working on a “new look” redesign of its simulators with the first model in production at their spacious Broken Arrow, Oklahoma US facility. It will include a more roomy aft cabin and changes to the organisation of the instructor-operator station. CAE has been exploring remote monitoring of simulators, both at its own global training centres and customer sites. “That’s where the industry is driving toward, more to enhance support response and minimize downtime,” says

Fisher. “We want to be right there on top of things when the siren goes.”

Time to Buy? Why jump into the civil aviation simulation market at this time? “There’s growth in the civil market,” believes Genna. “For us there are synergies and common technologies with our military business. And this puts us on the map internationally.” “Our desire was always to get back into the civil market when it was the right time. But starting from scratch was not the right approach. It had to be an acquisition.” If you’re looking to build a simulator from scratch, plan on a minimum six months to as long as 16-18 months, “depending on how well the customer is prepared,” explains CAE’s Fisher. ‘Discovery’ could take as little as one to two months or three times that. “More and more we are involving the customer at the beginning of the process.” And with respect to aircraft parts and data, historically the long pole in the tent, “we’re trying to get way ahead on that.” cat

Maintenance Training

Maintenance Training Developments Higher order learning technologies and content, including human factors are among the advancements in community maintenance training programs, reports Group Editor Marty Kauchak.

N

ew personnel in community maintenance programs are learning and refreshing their skill sets with cutting edge technology. At the same time, human factors and other course content is keeping accession and refresher training in step with developments on the flight line.

Supply and Demand Two subject matter experts have different perspectives on the supply and demand for new accessions into the maintenance sector – keeping alive the debate on this topic. Peter Compitello, a Manager in Delta’s TechOps Training, set aside any notion of impending shortages of maintenance personnel for the civil aviation sector when he spoke with CAT this June. While the Atlanta-based community leader wryly noted he has heard discussions about impending shortages of maintainers since the 1990s, the diminished supply of these professionals has never materialized. Compitello attributed the adequate supply of maintenance personnel to meet industry demands, in part, to the decreased number of personnel required to maintain new generations of aircraft and the airworthiness of these aircraft. Emphasizing the following insight was his own, he recalled his early days as a line mechanic. Then, 8-11 maintainers were needed to complete layover checks and other maintenance activities on an L-1011 when it arrived at a gate. “With the newer Boeing 777 and other models, it simply doesn’t take as many maintainers to take care of these aircraft. It may take only two or three maintenance personnel to do a layover check on a 777 aircraft when it rolls up to the gate. So you don’t need as many personnel as before,” he pointed out. 26

CAT MAGAZINE 4.2013

Jens Lange, the Head of Project Management – Basic Training at Lufthansa Technical Training, provided a slightly different perspective, observing that his organization sees in different global regions a strong demand and corresponding challenges to train young people to become technicians. One popular, current trend he cited is “Emiratization” – occurring in the Middle East. “Not only are there the required new technicians to be trained, but also the focus to reduce the ‘expats’ in this region is a challenge for the industry,” Lange said. The community expert also pointed out the demand for accessions into maintenance forces is being driven by the large number of new, additional aircraft that will be delivered to global fleets well into this decade. “And we have to keep in mind that it takes a few years for a person before he is able to get his type rating in the EASA world,” he added. Training Prospective Maintainers Aspiring Delta Air Lines mechanics first complete a one-week indoctrination class at Delta TechOps Training. The wide range of courses completed in five

days at the Atlanta campus includes an overview of computer-based instruction to be completed that week, airline hazardous material handling policies and other “101-level”-like subjects. “When they complete that one week of instruction, the new hires will go to their new station. Each station has its own indoctrination-like training and they are paired with an experienced AMT [aircraft maintenance technician]. The station manager then decides the follow-on aircraft courses for the mechanic, on a Boeing-757 to gain ETOPS [Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards] qualifications on that aircraft, for example” Compitello said. The airline also encourages its newly hired mechanics to work on the flight line for several months before they return to Delta TechOps Training to complete advanced instruction. Lange succinctly noted the structure of LTT training is skill, knowledge and competence-oriented to bring aspiring technicians at the end of their instruction into “doing.” He continued, “The principle of our training is the blended learning approach that changes the role of the trainer from a lecturer to a facilitator. He is responsible to lead through various media and to guide the trainees through the overall program.” Like their counterparts in the military sector, civil aviation maintainers are decreasing the lag time it takes for an

the increased troubleshooting and repair for one aircraft model’s business class, lay-flat seats. For its part LTT also ensures current content is added to its courses, in particular, to meet and reflect all EASA Part 66 rules in the program. Lange noted that in one instance, all different media, including the organization’s courseware and course notes now include the recent regulation 1149/2011. “To find the correct medium, for the correct outcome, to bring the trainees to skill, knowledge and competence is the real ‘intellectual property’,” he added.

emergent, widely-occurring mechanical problem or trend, and new governing regulations to find their way into course content. Delta’s solution to minimize the time needed to migrate these developments into courses relies on its Delta TechOps Training instructors and managers working closely with airline reliability teams. “If we see an area of concern, there is a concerted effort among training, engineering and others who need to be involved to figure out what the issue is and then go out and tackle that issue,” Compitello remarked. One recent issue successfully addressed through the collaborative efforts of a reliability team was

New training technology devices enhance not only technical training but also human factors aspects of training. William Johnson, Ph.D., the Chief Scientific and Technical Advisor in the Human Factors in Aircraft Maintenance Systems division at the FAA, noted that low cost, yet powerful, simulator technology fosters free play, expands troubleshooting and decision-making practice, and polishes team and interpersonal communication skills. “These are the kind of skills that usually wait for the trial by error when on the job. Today's learners, who are fortunate to have high quality training providers, are likely to be better prepared for immediate readiness as productive and safe employees. New equipment and techniques bring the real

Maintenance Training world into the training world and that’s good for everyone,” he added. Aside from these advancements, Johnson candidly discussed the human factors challenges and trends on the community’s horizon. At the top of his list, was maintainability. The Atlantabased, subject matter expert pointed out that enlightened manufacturers see that there is a definite business advantage if their product is easy to maintain or hardly ever needs maintenance. “When it does, it is critical that written technical procedures are easy to access and to understand. Thus, the quality of technical instructions is an important priority.” For its part, the FAA must strive to ensure that the workforce can add value when reviewing technical publications. “But our inspectors must be much more than proof readers. Inspectors must ensure that the manufacturers have excellent processes to develop, validate, and maintain the technical publications,” Johnson said, and added, “We know that new digital documentation must be much more than old technical manuals transferred to the web. The manufacturers are making positive steps in this area.” During the 1990s and into the 2000s human factors training was somewhat basic, providing the fundamentals and concepts were often applicable to primary (ab initio) maintenance training. Johnson observed that the industry is many training generations ahead with repeated, recurrent human factors training. “Human factors training today, is becoming closely integrated with Safety Management and Risk Assessment. Workers must be trained for early detection of human factors hazards that provide necessary predictive data, to see the events before they happen,” he added. For its part the FAA is focusing on voluntary reporting programs and Line Operations Safety Assessment that relies on formal peer-to-peer performance assessments. “I expect that we will continue to build, support and evaluate such safety programs,” Johnson predicted. The government executive also asserted that worker fatigue continues to be a challenge, providing a compelling case for organizations to raise the aware28

CAT MAGAZINE 4.2013

ness of the safety hazards of fatigue in training programs. Johnson pointed out, “that does not necessarily mean excessive duty time limits and regulations. Instead, government and industry must cooperate to identify and apply proven methods to manage the fatigue hazard. Training is a significant tool necessary to alter all levels of industry fatigue awareness. That will remain as a priority.” Delta’s maintenance training program is being harmonized with the FAA’s interest to include human factors in the wider range maintenance community activities. Indeed, Compitello recalled that human factors is “a big program for us.” In one instance, Delta TechOps Training conducts a human factors course required of all maintainers. He continued, “But we also incorporate human factors into our aircraft initial training and any area that we know can be a potentially dangerous situation. And so we make sure we point them out and include that not only in classroom training but on-the-job training.” One basic application of human factors for this organization focuses on the Airbus A330 main gear door and the hazards that surround it after a recent incident.

Technology Strategies The FAA’s Johnson reflected that his earlier stated priorities suggest that simulators and some other training methods do a good job of “looking” like the real world. Indeed, he also noted that simulator “face validity” is high. “Now, simulator instructors and other maintenance trainers must push to continue to mix the reality of the work environment into the technical training explanations,” he added. And observing that latest trend in progress, he encouraged the community to continue down this course. “Training scenarios must be based on the hundreds of monthly voluntary event reports. The industry must strive to make better use of event data. This is not a new concept. The best instructors seem to have the best stories. Today’s voluntary reports can enhance the number and the quality of the stories. But it takes a formalized effort to ensure that maintenance error stories are

routed to the training department and properly integrated into the curriculum,” he remarked. These and other technology developments are in use by the community or are on its horizon. LTT’s Lange noted that his global organization’s “optimized training program” reflects human learning capabilities in different ways. In one instance, the blended learning approach is helping the generation of digital “natives” (born after the 1980s) and the digital “immigrants” (from earlier eras), learn and reflect on the content in the way they can best learn. “We are working with pictures, mix of media, self-learning tools and discussions. Also we take into mind that in the afternoon the learners need a special attention to keep them attentive. Group work, or hands on training can help to respect the biorhythm.” The training entity also uses different training media. Next to the computer-based training for basic training themes, this technology is also used as a self-learning tool in the field for type training. The organization also uses type training simulators in its courses. “Therefore we generated special tasks for the basic training courses that reflect the necessary content,” Lange remarked, and added, “One important item was to bring all our course notes into our iPad APP LTT viewer. More than 25,000 users are now connected to the LTT viewer and this content. LTT published nearly all relevant documents for self-learning to prepare learners for the full, basic examination of the EASA CAT A1 and CAT B1/B2 [licenses].” The bridge to mobile learning is also built at LTT. Also available for the students are dictionaries and abbreviation lists. Another just-in time product the organization developed is webbased training, to describe the differences between the old EASA B2 and the new EASA B2 after 1149/2011 was enacted. “This product is highly requested in the EASA environment, because the 145 organizations do not want to have different qualifications,” Lange said. In one major effort at Delta TechOps Training, the Atlantabased organization continues down its path of eliminating paper from its courses of instruction. To reach this end state, Delta TechOps Training is setting up cloud-like accounts for its students that will help provide more capable electronic maintenance manuals and other benefits. Compitello described one advantage. “This will help the students at the end of the course or when they get home, to download their paper notes into the electronic maintenance manual, which will be on a cloud account.” Delta TechOps Training students are expected to have cloudlike accounts later this summer. The establishment of cloud accounts for all students is an internal Delta IT effort, without the support of any outside vendor. Delta TechOps Training is also collaborating with other internal airline training departments to develop a common, future IT plan for all airline stakeholders – pilots, flight attendants, dispatchers and others – in addition to maintainers. Conceptually, this joint effort among training departments would provide common content among communities’ training programs in a similar format and other advantages. “Instead of individually fighting for some piece of technology or some new advancement we can do it as a group – the more united a voice you have, the better the outcome,” Compitello concluded. cat

Cabin Crew Training

Getting Out Safely Improved training methods, sophisticated hardware and a mindset change of management is helping to evolve cabin evacuation training. Robert W. Moorman investigates.

T

wo aircraft accidents in recent years highlight the life and death importance of cabin evacuation training. One was the much-publicized 2009 ‘Miracle on the Hudson’, a US Airways A320 flight crew executed a near flawless landing on the Hudson River near New York City after Canada geese were ingested into both engines, taking out the power. The other accident occurred in August, 2005. An Air France A340-300 skidded off the runway after landing long at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The aircraft burst into flames after plunging into nearby Etobicoke Creek. Yet all 309 passengers and crew survived, although 43 people suffered non-life threatening injuries. The pilots and cabin crew in both accidents were credited for their professionalism and speed in evacuating all the passengers from the aircraft. To some trainers and safety experts, these and other accidents demonstrated the need to enhance ongoing cabin evacuation training programs. To others, airline management included, the accidents demonstrated that the current method of cabin evacuation training was sufficient and that no major changes were warranted. “That is the status quo argument,” said Candace Colander, Air Safety Coordinator with the Association of Flight Attendants. “You managed to get all of the people out. So we don’t need to change. But if we want to be forward thinking, we should ask, is there something we could do better? Yes. Are there sometimes problems with evacuating a plane? Yes,” she added. 30

CAT MAGAZINE 4.2013

AQP Training Following the Hudson ditching, the US Airways training department accelerated plans to adopt Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) for flight attendants, which relies on scenario-based training. AQP allows trainers to provide more hands-on training programs as opposed to traditional instructor led training. US Airways has also adopted AQP for the recurrent training of flight attendants. In January 2013, US Airways became one of a handful of US airlines to adopt AQP training for newly hired flight attendants. “The lessons learned from the ditching is the importance of situational awareness and being able to execute alternative procedures in handling a situation if necessary,” said Stephen Howell, director of in-flight training for US Airways. Southwest Airlines cabin evacuation training has evolved towards an AQPbased program over the years because of organic growth and acquisition of

other carriers. Southwest, like other carriers, switched from a rigid, rote learning methodology to scenario-based training. “We’ve included a lot more situational awareness and variables for flight attendants to assess and make choices, and change evacuation techniques to fit various scenarios,” said Larry Parrigin, development manager for In-flight Training. “We want them to use the appropriate commands for the appropriate circumstances.” The safety and emergency training program for newly hired Southwest flight attendants is about a week. The evacuation-training portion is spread out over three days and includes land and water ditching evacuation. The full initial training program for flight attendants lasts around five weeks. Southwest began cabin evacuation water ditching training in February 2013 after announcing new international flights. [The FAA requires airlines to carry life rafts for all flights that exceed 162 miles.] All the airlines which CAT interviewed said they developed training

scenarios which focus on unplanned emergencies, much like what happened on the Hudson River. In that emergency, a flight attendant blocked one rear exit because water had crept above the door bus line. She turned the passengers toward another passable exit. US Airways now runs AQP-based scenarios where instructors block a door because it is impassable due to water, fire or debris. For many years, JetBlue Airways’ evacuation drills began with a cue and crewmembers became conditioned to those cues. But trainers discovered that as they introduced variations to evacuation drills, the crewmembers occasionally had “difficulty getting away from the drills they had learned by rote,” said Thomas Kaminski, manager In-flight Training Program Development. “Now we allow the conditions and contingencies to dictate the cues during a drill, and our crewmembers have become accustomed to expect those variations.” Under the AQP umbrella, the emphasis on training has shifted from expect-

ing “picture perfect, verbatim responses” to more realistic training conditions and responses, said Kaminski. JetBlue pilots receive evacuation training adapted from the flight attendant program and is taught by flight attendants. When scheduling allows, JetBlue pilots and flight attendants conduct wet ditching evacuation training together.

Handy Hardware The airlines use a variety of aids for cabin evacuation training. Howell said US Airways takes a “blended approach” to flight attendant initial and recurrent training at centers in Charlotte, North Carolina and Phoenix, Arizona. They utilize cabin door and next generation cabin emergency evacuation trainer (CEET) devices at both sites. During training, cabin crews spend around “80% of the day onboard the trainers,” which is a significant jump from years past, he added. Flexibility is the key to all phases of cabin training, including evacuation instruction. And computer based training is helpful, up to a point. US Airways

Cabin Crew Training

ICAO Rewrites Manual The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is in the process of rewriting its Cabin Crew Safety Training Manual with the focus on competency-based training. ICAO formed the Cabin Safety Group in January 2012 to rewrite the manual. The group, which is made up of industry and regulatory leaders, is developing guidance material to support implementation of ICAO Annex 6, Part 1 (International Operations) training requirements for cabin crew. “We have spelled out in the manual what evacuation should include,” said Martin Maurino, technical safety officer with the Air Navigation Bureau, ICAO. The rationale behind the rewrite is “to ensure that the cabin crew is proficient to perform their duties and establish an international baseline no matter what cultural differences are in the mix,” he said. The manual will include guidelines for safety and emergency procedures training. Guidance includes practicing skills required during evacuation, such as communication, teamwork and leadership, error recognition and management, workload and time management and decision-making. There is also guidance for hands-on exercise on assisting evacuation means, such as slide, slide-raft, life raft and ropes. Training also addresses crowd control and management of the cabin situation. This includes giving appropriate instructions to passengers for evacuation. Work on the 12-chapter manual will be complete by the end of 2013, Maurino said. Carriers and interested parties can obtain an unedited copy once complete. The manual will then be polished and released formally in mid-2014. 32

places its Continuing Qualification Training recurrent home study guide online, a six-hour course that flight attendants must complete prior to showing up for their annual recurrent training. Southwest said the cost of placing advanced CEET and sophisticated cabin door trainers at the nine training centers is prohibitive. But the airline provides basic door trainers at all the sites. Southwest has one advanced CEET, half the size of a B737-300 cabin, at its Dallas headquarters. The CEET, manufactured by Safety Training Systems of Tulsa, Oklahoma, comes equipped with smoke, fire, motion (roll and pitch) and sound. JetBlue University in Orlando, Florida, which trains pilots and flight attendants, employs several door trainers. JetBlue will soon acquire an advanced door trainer built by EADS RST, Rostock System-Technik based in Germany. The door trainer simulates the 3 left and 3 right door pair. Airlines examine accidents and incidents industry wide typically to enhance their scenario based evacuation-training programs. They also apply lessons learned from accidents in which they’ve been involved to their evacuation training programs. One accident occurred in July, 1996. A Southwest 737 overran the runway at Nashville International Airport after an aborted takeoff. Flight attendants initiated an emergency evacuation when the aircraft came to rest without alerting the pilots. It was learned later that an emergency evacuation was not warranted. “This was a great example of where communication between the cabin and flight deck needed improvement,” recalled Parrigin, adding that the accident marked the start of Southwest’s current CRM and threat and error management programs. Additional improvements to Southwest cabin evacuation training came from two other runway overrun accidents that prompted evacuations. One occurred March, 2005 at the BurbankGlendale-Pasadena Airport. Southwest Flight 1455 overran the runway after landing fast and came to rest in the street near a gas station. Parrigin said there were “multiple issues with that evacuation” that could be used in training pro-

grams. Some equipment malfunctioned and a few exits weren’t available. Another overrun incident occurred December, 2005 at Chicago Midway International Airport. Flight 1248 slid off the runway after landing in a snowstorm and crashed into automobile traffic. Whilst a valuable training tool, JetBlue’s Kaminski cautioned against adopting lessons learned in evacuation training without careful examination. Best practices as they relate to evacuation training are “hotly debated,” said Kaminski. “We are very careful in training when discussing or enforcing best practices unless they specifically support good threat and error management. You always need to keep an eye on best practice that can lead to procedural drift.”

Training Devices Helping trainers’ replicate this real life like environment in cabin evacuation training are various hardware and software training aids. Leading the pack are next generation door and CEET trainers. In addition to the training solutions giants, CAE and FlightSafety International, there are other manufacturers of training devices worth noting. EDM Ltd. produces numerous sophisticated door trainers for Airbus and Boeing aircraft, including the A340, A320, B737 and B787, and advanced CEET systems. Its latest product is SEPTRE, which stands for Safety and Emergency Procedure Training Reality Engine. SEPTRE is a PC-software based system that provides motion, digital sound and visual cuing for CEETs. It is a modular design system that simulates pre-programmed training scenarios, such as engine fire, turbulence, ditching and aborted takeoff. “If an airline can’t afford a new CEET, we can offer SEPTRE as an upgrade to an existing trainer,” said EDM Sales Director Mick Bonney. EDM has delivered eight SEPTRE systems to China airlines mostly, including Air China and Hainan Airlines. China requires that all CEETs have motion systems and EDM recently built a motion equipped A330 widebody CEET for Air China. The company claims to be the first training device provider to design and manufacture a CEET for the

B787 Dreamliner. It is supplying Continental Airlines with a CEET for its new Dreamliner fleet. Aviation Reproduction Inc. (ARI) is another leader in manufacturing door and elaborate CEET trainers for commercial and business aircraft. At present, the Mississauga, Ontario-based company’s products vary from a standalone door trainer and door trainer with cabin space to full cabin trainer as long as 43 feet, some with a cockpit included. For full cabin trainers, instructors are able to control the lesson plans with a touch screen, or from anywhere in the cabin via a tablet or smart phone. ARI is delivering a Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 commercial cabin trainer to Westjet Airlines, and a corporate Gulfstream Corporate Cabin Trainer to FlightSafety International in Savannah. The Gulfstream trainer is able to train for multiple configurations, such as the Gulfstream Legacy and G650. In addition to a lavish interior, the corporate trainer includes fire and smoke, 3D visuals and full motion. Sim-Tech Manufacturing of Fayetteville, Georgia produces standalone door trainers and CEETs. Sim-Tech’s clients include TACA, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Qantas and Air Tran Airways. The lean company is somewhat unique in that it builds CEET trainers from scratch, but also refurbishes actual fuselages and exit doors for training, in what the Sim-Tech president Dan Conrey calls “repurposing.” Seventy-percent of Sim-Tech’s business is producing door trainers. Safety Training Systems, Inc. specializes in designing and building cabin training devices along with training devices for other aviation related disciplines. Founded in 1978, this woman-owned small business is capable of designing training devices to detailed customer specifications. RST Rostock System-Technik GmbH, an EADS company, allied to Airbus, supplies door and evacuation trainers for various commercial aircraft. RST was selected to design and manufacture the first two door trainers for the Airbus A350, which recently made its inaugural flight. Spatial Composite Solutions supplies cabin training simulators and is the only one based in the Middle East. The company supplied cabin, CEET, door trainers to numerous carriers, including Virgin America and Virgin Blue in Australia. RP Aero Systems, part of the RP Group, designs and manufactures cabin crew training systems, including CEET trainers that come with fire and smoke simulation and cabin communication systems. Aer Lingus, Air Asia, Air Canada and British Airways are among their customers. RP Aero’s B787-door trainer recently went into service at the BA Training Center, Cranebank, UK.

Software Software is key to producing realistic cabin door and evacuation trainers. LIVINGSOLIDS GmbH, a German-based maker of virtual reality software, is one such company. LIVINGSOLIDS software can replicate a 3D model of any technical device, which is especially helpful in flight and cabin training. Photo Concept AB’s Virtual eTraining Software, which demonstrated its cabin crew recurrent training applications at WATS 2013, is another software maker worth noting because its 3D tools are becoming an integral part of cabin crew training, including cabin evacuation training. The interactivebased 360-degree image technology has been around since 2008, but only recently began marketing it to airlines as a training tool. Norwegian Air Shuttle is the launch customer for the virtual training module for airlines. The walk around experience in the 3D virtual cabin is a principal benefit of the technology. Photo Concept AB is developing a network of partnerships with training centers and flight academies, according to Örjan Persson, head of sales. cat

Latin American Training

It’s All About the Growth Willem-Jan Derks profiles aviation training in Latin America.

L

atin America, with its 590 million inhabitants, has been an increasingly important market for over a decade now and seems to be continuing that trend. It was one of the few regions of the world that continued to show growth during the past years of crisis, and the airline industry is one of the clearest indicators.

Airline Industry According to data available from the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA) their associated airlines increased passenger numbers from 140 million in 2007 to 388 million in 2012 with the obvious increase in employees (84,000 to 157,000 direct employees in those five years) and fleet to accommodate this growth. Companies like Copa Airlines have grown from 36 aircraft in 2007 to 94 at present with orders for another 47. Another interesting development is the modernization of the fleet over the same period among ALTA airlines; from 2007 to 2012 the Boeing 727 was phased out, the Boeing 737 classic reduced from over 100 to just six aircraft and the DC-9/MD-80 series reduced from 96 to just five. On the other hand the Boeing 737NG increased from 123 to 259, Embraer 170/190 from 14 to 81 and the A320 family from 224 to 360 aircraft in the same period. This development continued with the Boeing 787 entering service with LAN Chile as well as the Sukhoi Superjet 100 joining Interjet Mexico. Recently, LATAM Airlines confirmed an order for another 165 aircraft for fleet renewal and fleet expansion, including Airbus A320 Neo, A350 and Boeing 787, and Avianca con36

firmed an order for 104 aircraft, including the Boeing 787 and Airbus 350. Aeromexico has 74 aircraft on order, including eight Boeing 787’s. Leading Latin American airlines are rapidly modernizing their fleet and services to the highest standards, incorporating the latest aircraft models and technologies as some of the first airlines in the world. Mergers and co-operations, such as LATAM Airlines (LAN Airlines and TAM Airlines) and Avianca (Avianca and TACA) have created some of the largest airlines in the world with operations across many of the countries in the region. These unified airlines have had to integrate teams of experienced professionals with different national and corporate cultures, language issues and differences in legislation between the countries that sometimes can be substantial. All of these developments have also affected other related sectors in aviation. As an example, the number of licensed Air Traffic Controllers in Chile increased by 380% between the years 2000 and

2010. Maintenance is another group of professionals that has experienced high demand for new mechanics and engineers. Airport services and handling staff, including executive aviation, sometimes have a hard time keeping up with these developments, especially in the major airports in the region. Helicopters have traditionally been an important working tool in this region and will continue to fulfill this role, especially in parts that are hard to access such as the Andes mountains. Furthermore, São Paulo has the world’s second largest fleet of helicopters (some 500), only surpassed by New York City, and about 260 heliports in the city.

Recruitment and Training It is complicated for airlines to keep up with the recruitment requirements that come with such large expansions. “The biggest challenge we have faced in these last years has been to make sure the recruitment and training of new pilots for the company matches the strong growth we have gone through as a company”, said Captain Eric Greenhill, senior manager Flight Training LAN Airlines (part of LATAM Airlines). “We have had to prepare a very detailed plan to make sure our aircraft have duly trained pilots at the times the commercial departments need them,” he continued.

Before the rapid expansion, the airlines received their new pilots from the local training industry as well as a large number of pilots who had retired from the Armed Forces. At recent expansion rates, these sources do not always provide sufficient pilots, resulting in several initiatives by the airlines to ensure an adequate supply of applicants, ranging from sponsoring an aviation school, as is the case for Copa Airlines with the Academia Latinoamericana de Aviación Superior (ALAS - ‘Wings’ in Spanish), to advertising aviation careers and working with local flight schools as does LAN (www.quieroserpiloto.cl). Captain Pedro Saravia, manager Flight Training Avianca, said “In Colombia there is still a big interest in aviation careers amongst the youth, but there is a lack of orientation as to how one can become an airline pilot. We periodically meet with representatives of the (local) flight schools to suggest to them how to improve their training programmes, basing this feedback on the results we see during our selection processes.” Generating awareness of the real possibilities to pursue a career in aviation is an important factor to motivate and train the local youth that currently believes such careers are out of reach. Airlines have increasingly hired expat’s to support their growth, but in many

cases, local legislations limit the amount of ex-pat employees a company can hire. This means the importance of training local new professionals is even greater and more urgent. Captain Greenhill commented “another important matter is the support of growth and modernization of flight schools in the region. Today, the cost of training is very different from one country to the other for several reasons and regulations as to the required training hours and flight experience to obtain the various crew licenses vary between countries as well, resulting in different training programmes, which in the long term complicate the different courses we require.” This is particularly important to a company such as LATAM Airlines, with subsidiaries in Chile, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Paraguay, Argentina and Colombia, all with their own national legislations. Captain Saravia of Avianca, with operations out of Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Peru, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua, finds that the training centres in the region “need better technology, use of CBT, aircraft better equipped with navigation systems, appropriate fixed-base training devices and in general, could use equipment more adequate for learning.” It would seem the ab-initio training infrastructure in the region has had a

Latin American Training hard time keeping up with the requirements of new professionals by the rapidly expanding airlines and aviation industry. A significant number of students from the region are still training abroad, mainly in the USA, such as at Pan Am International Flight Academy whose Latin American students attended the Spanish Language sessions at WATS 2013 with great interest. There is however, an increasing trend to establish, maintain and encourage local training options. A positive development the training departments in the airlines have noticed over the last few years, is the high learning curve of the new generation of pilots due to the ease with which they learn new technologies, such as advanced navigation and glass cockpit systems.

Developments In recent years, according to Captain Greenhill “the region has seen the arrival of the major simulation providers, WBT, AQP model acceptance and flight schools with cutting edge technology. If we want to compete on a global level and be one of the safest regions with biggest growth, we have to invest in training. Accident statistics of the last few years show the region has become even more professional, we have better and more modern aircraft, better airport infrastructures, radars, better trained air traffic controllers and development of PBN programmes. I believe one of the most relevant issues at present is the modernization of aeronautical legislation, ideally unified for the region. This would allow us to advance in big projects that would allow all of us to work on AQP models, robust human factors programmes, share best practices, have access to the best simulation equipment, and modernize and expedite the certification processes for their approval by all countries with a regional certificate, etc.” The large airlines such as LATAM Airlines, Avianca, Copa Airlines or Aerolíneas Argentinas amongst others, operate simulator centres either independently or in association with companies like CAE, with the largest amount of simulators installed in Brazil. Much of the type rating and recurrent training however is still done outside the region. It is interesting to note that in spite of the 38

CAT MAGA Z INE 4 . 2 0 1 3

changes and increase in fleet and operations in the region during those years, according to the CAT Full Flight Simulator Census only two new simulators were installed between 2007 and 2012, with a total of 26 simulators in Latin America out of the 1334 simulators in the Census worldwide in 2012. Not only are training providers and centres continuously developing in the region, equipment and services providers such as Colombia-based Nediar that develops simulators and simulation technology are as well. Even though they have reached a large part of the airlines in the region, new training concepts such as Competency Based Training (CBT), Evidence Based Training (EBT) and MPL programmes are still very rare in the ab-initio training providers. These concepts will allow training providers and trainees to take better advantage of their programmes and align the contents to the latest technologies applied in the aircraft and by airlines. English training and testing remains another pending subject as discussed during WATS 2013. The issue seems to

be more resolved for pilots, but airlines have stated the need for more training and standardization for other aviation professionals as well.

The Future The Latin American civil aviation industry has gone through rapid changes and growth over the last decade, and in many ways is at the forefront of aviation. The training industry, especially in the ab-initio segment, is slightly behind the curve, particularly in terms of capacity but the indications are there to show that this segment of the aviation industry is growing and maturing in the region to the standards known and accepted in other parts of the world. There is no doubt that during the next years, we shall see more interesting developments in Latin America, and its contribution to the continued progress of aviation shall be ever more noticeable. cat

LATIN AMERICA AT WATS Halldale Media started a new initiative this year to further integrate and support the Latin American aviation training sector, starting with dedicated sessions for the region in Spanish. These sessions have had great feedback and response from the industry with close to 100 delegates in the break-out room, and more sessions with even better content have been confirmed for next year’s WATS as well as regular profiles of the region in CAT magazine.

EATS 2013 Flight Plan Filed for Berlin Conference Chair Chris Lehman provides an update.

T

he European Airline Training Symposium (EATS) is again landing in Berlin, Germany. From October 29-30 at the Estrel Hotel, we’ll be continuing our annual tradition of exploring European expertise in aviation training and simulation. And this year for the first time there will be a full cabin crew training stream to complement pilot training. The overall theme of EATS 2013 is "Enhancing Flight Crew Training,” and one of the goals of the conference will be to summarize recent European regulatory developments that impact both pilot and cabin training. The main focus of EATS however, has always been to explore European training “best practice” and this year will be no exception. Regulators, FTOs, TRTOs and airline operators

will provide their latest perspectives and advice on the industry’s most pressing training challenges as we stare at enormous global growth and unrelenting technical change. Gold sponsor of EATS 2013 is CAE and Host Sponsor is Lufthansa Flight Training. With its accompanying exhibition, EATS provides a uniquely European perspective on civil aviation training, yet attracts conference delegates, speakers, and exhibitors from around the globe. Since inception, a hallmark of EATS is the quality of attendees – quite literally the majority of the senior personalities that

drive this highly specialised sector. Year after year we see that quality - last year some 478 delegates from 64 airlines and 45 countries attended EATS 2012, along with 51 international exhibitors. Personnel recruitment, selection, and F/O training issues will be explored at EATS 2013, including the experience to date with MPL. EASA will provide allimportant status updates, air carriers will discuss the training impact of new generation aircraft introduction, and senior industry speakers will explore EvidenceBased Training, LOC-I, human factors, ATQP, and even training for green operations and fuel efficiency. Over in the cabin track, speakers will explore the complete range of training issues including new hire training and selection, evacuation/egress training, CRM training, EASA’s OSD, unruly passengers, medical emergencies, even the implications of paperless training and transitioning to electronic tablets. In fact, across both conference tracks, EATS will explore all of today’s training and simulation technologies, including the expanding role of e-learning and mobile training technologies that are now becoming common place in the industry. Yet another new development for EATS 2013 is a dedicated panel of aviation training experts that will endeavour to answer delegates’ specific training and technology questions on the afternoon of day 2. Delegates can complete the on-line survey on the Halldale web site, the results of which will be used to frame the initial comments of the panel of experts. Completion of the survey and attendance at the conference will make you eligible to win the latest iPad, with the winner announced during the event.

Simulator Census

World Civil Full Flight Simulator Census Edited by Ian Strachan.

T

his year the World Civil Full Flight Simulator Census lists 1389 FFS, 74 more than last year which in turn was 43 more than 2011. Looking at locations, the USA is in the lead by an enormous amount with 558 FFS, 40% of the world total. However, in the last year there has been a 27% increase in China which now replaces the UK in second place. There have also been increases in India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. If the forecasts are anywhere near right, this will be the start of more major increases in future years and a continuation of the eastwards shift in FFS location. Other nations with increases are Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Qatar, Russia, Taiwan, UAE and the UK. New nations listed this year include Hungary, Tunisia, Peru and Sri Lanka. On the “other side of the coin” there have been small decreases in Australia, Sweden, Turkey and the USA, mainly due to retirements of older simulators. In individual States in the USA, the order is similar to last year with many States having more FFS than many countries. Texas is well in the lead, mainly due to the many training centres in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Compared to 2012, Texas has three more and Florida has five less. There are small increases in Kansas and Ohio and decreases in Arizona, North Carolina and Washington State. Simulators are getting younger. Nearly half were made in the last eight years and nearly two thirds in the last 12 years. Old ones are being retired and only about 3% are pre-1984 when the Level D full flight simulator design, introduced by the US FAA in 1982, was fully

established. This design has full 6-axis motion, wide angle Outside World (OTW) visual, and high fidelity of cockpit, controls and aircraft handling. The Level D is re-named “Type 7” in ICAO Document 9625. This document rationalised worldwide flight simulator nomenclature and reduced duplication of what were similar devices with unnecessarily different names. In ICAO 9625, international simulator categories have been reduced from 26 to seven. The Level D becomes “Type 7” with enhanced requirements for platform motion and more realistic interaction with air traffic and other air-

craft. A few Regulatory Authorities have already transitioned to 9625, with EASA and the US FAA scheduled to follow in about 2015. Comparing the Level C and D devices, although much training can be accomplished on a Level C FFS, the small extra cost of a Level D, its more comprehensive training credits, and its increased future use in critical handling situations such as upsets and stalls, have led to a steady increase in Level Ds, now running at over three quarters of the world total, an increase of about 70 over last year.

Regulators On Regulators, EASA and the US FAA test and certificate between 400 and 500 FFS each. This is followed by China with about 100, then between 30 and 40 from the Australian, Canadian and Japanese Authorities, followed by 29 other National Regulators. Many FFS at the larger training centres are certified by more than one


Regulator because airlines from different parts of the world train on them and need the “tick in the box” from the Regulator that oversees the airline’s operations. On simulator levels, there has been a small increase in Level B devices, but this is in the helicopter area where the reason for Level B rather than D is due to different visual system designs. Some helicopter FFS use direct projection inside a dome or partial dome in order to obtain the good vertical Field of View (FoV) needed for training engine-off and autorotation and some specialist areas such as oil rig work and nap-of-the-earth manoeuvring. This does not fulfil the Level C/D requirement for “collimated” visuals, those with curved mirrors giving “distant focus” so that each of two pilots sitting side-byside sees the same visual perspective. Hence the Level B designation for display systems using direct projection.

Simulator Manufacturers Turning now to FFS manufacturers, CAE is well in the lead with nearly 640, followed by FlightSafety International with 325 and L-3 Link UK with about 270. Link UK now owns the civil fixed-wing side of the simulator factory at Crawley, UK, and previously under the Thales and Rediffusion names. Looking at changes in numbers, CAE has over 60 more than last year, with smaller increases from Frasca (USA), Mechtronix (Canada), Sim-Industries (Netherlands), and Transas (Russia). New manufacturers in this year’s tables are AgustaWestland (Italy/UK), CKT and CSTS Dinamika (Russia), and Rheinmetall (Germany). Finally, simulators from the ex-Penza Simulation company in Russia are no longer in service. Looking at aircraft manufacturers, there are 500 FFS for Boeing aircraft (down 1), followed by over 300 for Airbus

(up 30), and simulators for Eurocopter are up 15. Aircraft manufacturers new to the tables are HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics, India) NH Helicopters (European Consortium), and Pilatus (Switzerland).

Simulator Characteristics Finishing this analysis by looking at simulator characteristics, three channel collimated displays with continuous horizontal view and distant focal length are most common and are fitted to 1070 FFS. These are followed by 130 older three-channel four window systems where each of two pilots sees the same centre image generator channel in the window immediately ahead, and then 70 five channel systems with a centre channel, two left and two right. About 20 helicopter simulators have five channels plus two lower “chin windows” for extra downward view at the hover. Another helicopter innovation this year is the use of eight and more visual channels for greater vertical view. On image genera-

tors, Rockwell Collins leads the way with 495 systems, followed by CAE with 425 and FlightSafety International with 326. On motion platforms, 98% have the full six axes and electric jacks are replacing hydraulic, with 80 more electric platforms than last year. The advantage of electric platforms is not only the elimination of hydraulic pumps and pipes, but also lower transport delays between demand and motion output, leading to more realistic cues and handling in critical situations that need precise control.

Conclusion

The world full flight simulator scene is not only healthy but expanding, with numbers increasing by over 5% this year. In the future, further expansion is almost certain, to train the large numbers of new pilots that are forecast. The technology of high quality flight simulation is well understood and a combination of electric motion and high-resolution wide angle visuals makes realism in the simulator cockpit better than ever, particularly in manoeuvre situations. ICAO and Regulators are already considering Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) and earlier this year the International Committee for Aviation Training in Extended Envelopes (ICATEE) concluded its deliberations and sent its final report to ICAO. It is no wonder that nearly all airline training now takes place in simulators rather than in the aircraft itself. After all, the simulator is designed for safe training of conditions that would be hazardous in the aircraft, whereas the aircraft is optimised for its transport role rather than for training, particularly in critical failure and upset conditions. The future for the world full flight simulator industry is not only bright, it’s very bright! cat
