Salient

We are incredibly proud of our talented team members, Simon Wood and Paul Field, for their insightful presentation at the Royal Aeronautical Society Flight Simulation Conference on tools for pilot training. Their deep insights into learning and the effective use of technology greatly enhances our customer experience. A special thank you to Chris Hunter for the generous invitation. Moving forward, our challenge is to transition from an engineering-centric approach to one that streamlines the instructor’s role, sustaining a learning environment that offers meaningful exposure to relevant threats, aligned with training needs.

Great to see our partnership with Alliance Airlines to implement a bespoke Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) featured on Aviation Business News - https://lnkd.in/eRhprbZ5. Click below to read the full story!

When Virgin Australia decided to introduce Evidence-based Training to enhance the recurrent training of its 1,250 pilots, it recognised the importance of bringing in the outside expertise of Salient. As the company’s Brian Williams says: “We recognised that the move to EBT was not just a change for the trainees and instructors, but also change for the policy makers, the development teams building the program, the management and safety team measuring performance, and the executive team ultimately accountable for the safety of our airline operation.” Read how it’s going, and the pilots’ reaction to what they see as a ‘safe’ learning environment.

Express Delivery! Delighted to see the exclusive by Greg Whitaker in Aviation Business News announcing the partnership between Salient and HK Express Airways in delivering Evidence-based Training (EBT) in collaboration with Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department.

Our CEO, Capt Michael Varney FRAeS will be taking part in a panel debate and workshop on pilot training today at The ALTA - Latin American & Caribbean Air Transport Association Aviation Safety, Flight Ops & Training Summit in Lima, Peru and engaging with fellow professionals committed to seeking the highest levels of aviation safety and operational standards in the region. Salient’s work with Copa Airlines on Evidence-based Training (EBT) shines as an example of what can be achieved in Latin America with the right vision and commitment.

Delighted with the exclusive by Keith Mwanalushi in Aviation Week Network about our new Maintenance Check Flight training delivered by Frank Chapman and Mladen Zunic to Charles Pantlin and Philip Stockton of MalethAero. As Charles says, both are now equipped to manage the more challenging maintenance check flights with confidence. https://lnkd.in/exzzE2xs

10 years on - defining the success of Evidence-based Training. At CATES in Chengdu, China, Capt. Michael Varney FRAeS will chart the progress and success of Evidence-based Training (EBT) as a Step Change in recurrent training strategies. Through case studies and real-life experience, Mike will explain how airlines in China and around the world are embracing EBT, benefiting from a competency and evidence-led approach to the learning experience for individual pilots and crew.

Speaking on 30th April at WATS in Orlando, Capt Jorge Reyes Bonilla of Copa Airlines and Capt Michael Varney FRAeS, our CEO, will discuss the success Copa has had in introducing Evidence-based Training (EBT) and how it has now become the first carrier in Latin America to have gained approval for full EBT implementation bringing maximum benefit to each individual pilot on a journey of continuous improvement.

We have to counter the inappropriate use of TEM in training. LOSA is a great and successful concept and provides unique insights to operators who engage in the process. LOSA is about observers capturing the stories of flights they undertake. TEM is a useful framework to help our understanding of the stories. In training we can use the data very effectively in design, but the purpose of #ebt is to stretch individuals and for crews to manage complexity. Simple as that!
