WATS 2010 Orlando Flight Standards and Training April 27-29, 2010
2
JetBlue History Began Operations in 2000 Operating Domestically and Internationally throughout the Americas and the Caribbean Began E190 operations November 2005 −7 aircraft without HGS because of certification timing Every pilot, instructor and check airman certified in dual HGS equipped full motion simulators April, 2010 – 151 total aircraft, 41 E190s all dual HGS equipped
5
Philosophy Traditional Philosophy −Single HGS device −Only on Captains side −Only used during low visibility operations JetBlue’s Philosophy −Dual HGS devices −Used for all ground and flight phases
6
Philosophy Why dual HGS? −Experience with devices in a 121 environment −Experience with the tools −Keeps pilot more “in the loop” to fly an aircraft −Cost savings over traditional autopilot systems
7
Training for Dual HGS Philosophy −Primary Instrument with Specialized Training −Integrated into Systems Training; Videos −Supported in all Briefs (FTD / FFS) Equipment −All FTDs and FFS are equipped with Dual HGS* −FFS has repeater at the Instructor station
8
Pilot Adaptation Positive Feedback −Most have no prior HGS experience but feel very comfortable with device before the end of their training −Valuable tool for all phases of flight −Valuable tool for non-normal events –Windshear, Engine Failure, Collision Avoidance, Terrain Avoidance, Low Energy State, Upset Recovery −Not one safety report in four years of operation attributed to its use
13
Training for Dual HGS Amount of Training for Non-HGS experienced Pilots −Learning style-based approach (4 phases of proficiency) −Multiple media types to allow each learning style to assimilate functions Lessons Learned −Essential to have exposure to HGS during initial simulator training −Emphasize ways to provide greatest benefits −Identify differences from other displays Our Recipe for Success −AQP-like focus on Integrated training in every aspect for Dual HGS −As many touch points as possible −Learning style-based approach for every student
14
What’s Next? Low Visibility Operations −LVTO (300 RVR) −CAT IIIB approaches (600 RVR) Hand Flown (Currently CAT II) −FAA extremely happy −Crew Buy-In
