Boeing, CAE to Collaborate on Pilot Training to Enhance Aviation Safety
Boeing and CAE have signed into an agreement under which CAE will deliver Boeing’s Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) curriculum as the first Boeing Authorised Training Provider. Through this agreement, Boeing and CAE will make innovative, high-quality flight instruction more widely available to customers in the commercial aviation industry.
The transition to CBTA methodology in pilot training focuses on acquiring and evaluating skills, knowledge, and behaviours crucial for pilots to operate safely and effectively in a commercial aviation setting. Through the use of technologically sophisticated tools and fleet operations data, Boeing has implemented CBTA, which allows pilots to respond quickly to problems that develop while in the air by customising training for each person.
The curriculum from Boeing will be used by CAE facilities in India first, with expansion into other international markets envisaged. The CBTA programme is being implemented by Boeing at client locations all over the world as well as at its global training centres in Seattle, Miami, London-Gatwick, Shanghai, and Singapore.
There has been a long-standing collaboration between Boeing and CAE on both commercial and defence projects. In addition to offering operational support and training solutions on defence platforms, CAE is a key supplier of Boeing’s training equipment for commercial aircraft.
