programs (AQP), which essentially permit “progressive” checking. In other words, if a pilot proficiently conducts a normal takeoff during scenario-based training, the instructor can consider the normal takeoff “checked.” “Airlines use AQP, rely on safety data and change training topics event over event,” said Timothy Schoenauer, senior director of training solutions for business aviation at CAE.“Meanwhile, business aviation is required to have a checking philosophy and we don’t have an opportunity to evolve the training environment. More scenario-based training would allow the industry to evolve.” In the meantime, the industry is taking training improvements into its own hands. For example, CAE is implementing Continuously Optimized Recurrent (CORe) training. CORe training topics will change every six months based on analysis of risks and emerging threats. Schoenauer encourages operators to add the most current CORe training scenarios to a five-day recurrent training event. “We aim to learn from the data and put it back into training to close the loop on the risk. We have to, as an industry, take steps to advance how we train, not just check,” said Schoenauer.“It has worked for 30 years for the airlines; now is the time for business aviation.” 8 AVIATION VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 04, ISSUE 04
