 BOEING FORECAST ESTIMATES ASIA PACIFIC TO REQUIRE 180,600 PILOTS OVER NEXT 20 YEARS (ATI, SEP 2010)  IT WOULD REQUIRE 30 TRAINING CENTRES TO TRAIN 301 PILOTS PER YEAR TO MEET NEED  MORE THAN 2 MILLION AB INITIO TRAINING HOURS PER YEAR Estimated Pilot Requirements

Ab Initio Pilot Training & The Challenges

Training Development Process 13  CASE STUDY – FULL AB INITIO  DEFINING TRAINING NEED2 MONTHS  SOURCING CANDIDATES 4 MONTHS  AB INITIO TRAINING 14 MONTHS  TYPE AND LINE TRAINING4 MONTHS TOTAL24 MONTHS

 MPL SYNONYMUS FOR CHANGE?  ALLOWS AIRLINES TO WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH FTO AND CREATE A TAILORED TRAINING SOLUTION – “BEST PRACTICE”  ENCOURAGES REGULATORY OVERHAUL OF AB INITIO PILOT TRAINING MPL or not?

Embracing Innovative Training Solutions

Training Value?

There is no such thing as a GENERIC MPL Each course is tailor-made and approved by the Regulator - with the airline and FTO working in partnership

 MORE “MPL” DATA BEING GATHERED WITH MORE TRAINING TAKING PLACE  INITIALLY SLOWER RESPONSE HAS TURNED INTO ENTHUSIAMS TO TRIAL TAILORED SOLUTION  AIRLINES AND FTO WORKING TOGETHER TO ENSURE OBJECTIVES ARE ACHIEVED  REGULATORS PLAY IMPORTANT ROLE TO WORK WITH AIRLINE AND FTO MPL

Conclusion

 IS IT ALREADY EMBRACED? “YES”  BEST PRACTICE? “IN DEVELOPMENT”  CONTINUED PROGRESS AND ACCEPTANCE OF NEW TRAINING CONCEPTS  SUPPORTING YOUNG MOTIVATED INDIVDUALS TO ENTER THE PROFESSION Embracing Best Practice
