1 From Candidate to Flight Crew: Keeping Your Airline One Step Ahead in Pilot Selection and Provisioning World Aviation Training Conference and Trade Show April 27, 2010 - Orlando, Florida Lou Nemeth, Chief Safety Officer

2 CAE Inc Confidential and/or Proprietary Information The New Focus – Competency-Based Training Existing prescriptive training programs do little to confirm that a trainee has obtained the knowledge and mastered the skills associated with a given task CAE believes that competency-based training and assessment provides a viable means of improving pilot proficiency Examples of competency-based training: Most military flight training programs Advanced Qualification Programs (AQP) programs for line pilots Only achievable if the principles of the ISD process are well understood and successfully applied

3 CAE Inc Confidential and/or Proprietary Information Competency-Based Program Benefits Benefits to Sponsoring Airline ► Consistently high quality of graduates will enable airlines to reduce the time and overall cost of new-hire training ► "Train Like You Fly" philosophy -- pilots are trained to operate as part of a crew using the airline SOPs. Benefits to the Cadet ► The highest quality training available in the industry from a global aviation training leader ► An efficient, more direct path to an airline pilot career opportunity

4 CAE Inc Confidential and/or Proprietary Information Competency-Based Training Features Practical and Theoretical Training ► Competencies precisely defined ► Cumulatively provide the theoretical and practical competencies of an ATPL holder qualified to operate a multi- engine, turbine-powered, pressurized airplane in all possible operational environments ► FSTDs provide the fidelities necessary to train competency- based objectives ► Windshear, CFIT, Upset, and recovery from energy critical maneuvers required ► CRM/TEM attitudinal competencies trained in a mission context ► Training providers, not the airline have the regulatory burden for course approval

5 CAE Inc Confidential and/or Proprietary Information Competency-Based Training Features Testing ► Comprehensive assessment of developing ATPL knowledge and skills ► PF and PNF ► Evaluation standards connected to existing / future technologies Data Collection and Analysis ► Absolutely essential to assure competency development ► ICAO data collection recommendations provide a good start ► Data collection should extend through release to the line and the first year of operational experience to validate the training process

6 CAE Inc Confidential and/or Proprietary Information Comprehensive Aircrew Selection Process Our program focuses on the Big 3: ► Cognition ► Personality ► Aptitude Program features: ► Verification of candidate application data ► Background checks ► Administration of tests (math, physics, English) ► Aptitude, attitude & personality ► Physical assessment ► Structured interview ► Debrief

8 CAE Inc Confidential and/or Proprietary Information CRM / TEM Training/ Professionalism First represent Crew Resource Management (CRM) as a set of skills that provides the means of improving human behavior in interpersonal relationships. Thereafter, introduce CRM as a discipline that improves cockpit discipline and resource management, improves personal work habits, and reduces error Prioritize the introduction of threat management and error management techniques Embed TEM principles in all appropriate theoretical lessons Ensure standardization of the message; instructor expertise in the disciplines is absolutely essential Professionalism: Thoughts Habits Priorities

9 CAE Inc Confidential and/or Proprietary Information CAE Competency-Based Training We are validating competency-based training in the first test of CAE’s MPL program

15 CAE Inc Confidential and/or Proprietary Information FAA ANPRM

16 CAE Inc Confidential and/or Proprietary Information The Challenge of Training for Safety  The primary response to aircraft incidents in recent decades (thus far) has been to increase the prescriptive hourly requirements, required maneuvers, and testing processes necessary for qualification.  There have been improvements:  Ever-improving synthetic training technology and tools  Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) training  ITQI Initiatives (Instructor Training & Evidenced-based Training)  Maturing Threat and Error Management (TEM) Programs  We are still challenged to advance our training and evaluation methods in the international aviation community

17 CAE Inc Confidential and/or Proprietary Information Comments on the FAA ANPRM  We do not believe that hourly requirements establish a pilot’s competencies for a pilot of a Part 121 air carrier (whether 1500, 800, 750, or otherwise)  The 1500 hour requirement will further discourage potential candidates from entering the pilot profession  What is needed for air carrier safety and efficiency is:  A structured systems approach to instructional design  Scientific validation of demonstrated knowledge and skill-based outcomes  Theoretical knowledge and practical skills competencies should be defined through the Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) process

18 CAE Inc Confidential and/or Proprietary Information An Additional Recommendation  We encourage the formation of a global Aviation Training Organization from which ICAO could seek cooperation and counsel on training of aviation professionals  Examples:  IATA -- the global voice for airlines  IFALPA -- the global voice for pilots
