Piper Turbine Transition Training Platform Conceptual study 2010
Piper Advanced Trainers • Late 80’s – Cheyenne IIIA based platform • High performance twin turboprop • Turbine transition training • Airline IOE training • SOP indoctrination • CRM indoctrination • EFIS integrated avionics • Same as in many airliners • Collins ProLine II
Piper Cheyenne Advanced Trainer • Popular with many airlines • Lufthansa • Austrian Airlines • Sabena • Alitalia • All Nippon Airways • Korean Air • CAA China
Lessons learned from the Cheyenne AT program • Turbine transition training is essential part of airline pilot curriculum • Focus on normal operations (SOP, CRM, MCC) • Only airline sponsored schools can afford advanced turbine trainers
Training concepts • “Training for the ratings” • Minimum costs to get licenses • Small private flight schools • “Training for competency” • More expensive, quality oriented • Airline sponsored flight schools
The goal • Create turbine transition training platform • Affordable & cost effective • Fulfilling the training objectives • Efficiently simulating regional airliner • Line-maintainable for high utility
IOE Training objectives • Familiarize with turbine aircraft • Performance • Systems • Operating procedures • Familiarize with operating environment • Weather • Air traffic services • Company procedures • Build pilot’s personality • Decision making • Airmanship • Resource management
TTTP requirements • Performance • Cruise speed 250+ kts • Endurance up to 4 hours • Runway length <1000 m • 150+ kts approach capability • Systems • Pressurization (FL250+ capability) • Ice protection, FIKI certification • Retractable landing gear
TTTP requirements • Avionics • Two-pilot glass cockpit • FMS • Weather radar • Training environment • Dual controls & instrumentation • Observer work station with Com • Tracking & debriefing system
Does the TTTP need two engines? • We believe not • IOE pilots are already multi-engine qualified • IOE training is not focused on emergency procedures • Type specific contingencies are part of type rating curriculum
