Why a new Training Concept
We had a unique opportunity with the birth of a new aircraft for a fresh
look at the training concept.

Training Needs Analysis - Threat and Error Management
- External
Internal
It has been observed that as much as 70% of the flight crew activities are
countermeasure - related activities
WATS 2015

• If Threat and Error Management (TEM) fails: potential for Undesired
Aircraft States (UAS)
• Flight crews must employ countermeasures to keep threats, errors
and undesired aircraft states from reducing margins of safety in flight
operations.
Training Needs Analysis - Threat and Error Management
Pilots competencies are considered to be countermeasures
to Threats, Errors and Undesired Aircraft States!

Competency Based Training
• Airbus Competency Based Grading System introduced 2013
• A350 XWB Flight Crew Training program is based on development of competencies
9 Pilot Competencies and Performance Indicators.

3 The How

The Functional Approach
How do you like to learn?
WATS 2015
Remember the
last time you
started using a
new mobile
phone?
A Read the manual for 3 days?
B Immediately start using the phone?
C None of the above?

Functional Learning
WATS 2015
The functional approach links learning to experience. New
information is referenced to knowledge already possessed.
By using materials that the learner will use after training, the
transfer to the "real world" is enhanced. (Sticht.T - US Navy
1975 and 1976)
more effective
more efficientThink about ACP spring loaded toggle
switch, just try explaining that, then just
use it …
Learning by doing!

Procedure training in a realistic environment:
APT+ has been built with:
• side sticks,
• rudder pedals,
• adjustable seats,
• simplified visual,
• 3D hardware thrust levers.

• Manual Flight + Guidance (“Bird” and FD) (APT+, FFS)
• Manual Flight Path Management + Guidance
+ Degraded Aircraft (FFS)
• Manual Flight - A350 Basics – “Pitch and Thrust” and Protections (FFS)

New Training Program
• Surprise as a training element
• Full use of the FFS by introducing 4 Scenario Based sessions at the end
of the course
Manoeuvres Training
• Train psychomotor skills
• Frequent repositions and repetitions
Scenario-Based Training
• Defined profiles (LOFT style flight from A to B)
• Higher level of realism (environment)
• Complexity and realism increases toward terminal phase of the course
