Background to Lufthansa’s ab initio training
Starting point for introducing a new ab initio training concept
ICAO Multi-Crew Pilot Licence (MPL)
Benchmarking study of training costs
Life-time limit of existing training aircraft PA 42
Fundamental policy of the Lufthansa Group:
to retain an ab initio training system with consistent pre-selection
to retain the Pilot School in Bremen / Phoenix, Arizona for Lufthansa’s ab initio training
to retain 2003 training standards
Further development of the training system was necessary

Reorganisation – Information Technology
The switch to a new training concept was used as an opportunity to reorganise IT:
Administration was simplified through
- online access to performance data at various locations
- central data management to verify performance
A grading system was integrated into the administrative software to enable individual performance tracking
