Alternative Training and Quaification Programme
The report by Norman MacLeod discusses the progress of the EU-OPS 1.978 Alternative Training and Qualification Programme. It highlights critical implementation issues faced by airlines such as SAS, Hapag-Lloyd, and easyJet, alongside the challenges associated with cherry-picking training elements. The study emphasizes the need for a fundamental shift in pilot training methodologies to align with safety data and operational realities. It proposes identifying essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA) required for pilot operation and underscores the importance of investing in effective training solutions that address both technical and non-technical skills.

Agenda Items • EASA OPS NPA • ITQI
New Training Hypothesis – development: • Identify Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes (KSA) necessary for pilots to operate safely, efficiently and effectively • Quantify observable means by which to assess the demonstrations of KSA • Conduct a safety threat analysis {…} • Determine priorities {…} for training and checking in each flight phase • Based on a review of what should be trained, determine best methodologies for the efficient delivery of pilot KSA • (ITQI Report Spring 09)
Conclusions If we fail to make a substantial change to the philosophy of airline pilot training, we will face an increasing gap between training and reality. It is time to create an effective bridge between safety data and the development of training solutions. At the same time, we must embed robust methodologies for the handling of real events and the development of key pilot skills, both technical and non-technical, into those training solutions. (ITQI Report Spring 09)
Conclusion • Coherent, operationally-focussed • Does require investment • Probably already off course • Best practice Next JAA TO ATQP Workshop 23-24 Jun 2010
