1. Using Data Collection Tools in Flight Training Kris Rockwell Hybrid Learning Systems AICC Phoenix February, 2004

2. Data Collection Programs Examples of Current Data Collection Programs Within Flight Training –Advanced Qualification Program (AQP), FAA –Alternative Training and Qualification Programme (ATQP), JAR-OPS –Line Oriented Safety Audit (LOSA) –Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP)

3. Flight Training Data Collection Data collection has become a critical but often neglected component of Flight Training Data collection is an important component to regulatory compliance Analysis can lead to the identification of weaknesses in training programs or individuals

4. Current Data Collection Scenario Pilot Record Overview

5. Current Data Collection Problems Separate Databases do not allow for easy tracking of pilot/crew status and currency Poorly implemented collection methods Static storage solutions Lack of integration with current training methodologies No method to track blended learning solutions Data forms are not easily updatable

6. Ideal Data Collection Scenario

7. Ideal Data Collection Solutions Integrates Databases to provide a single traceable record Allows registration into a training program that automatically registers student as needed across the board Tools access common data sources for consistent data Amount of paper and administration drastically reduced offering cost reduction in record keeping

8. How The Be Accomplished? Robust, easily configurable data collection toolsets Easily accessible, cost effective hardware platforms Data communication standards

9. Data Collection Software Simple interfaces and flexible input and recall methods Data validation Connected and disconnected functionality Easily modified collection fields and parameters Flexible delivery systems

10. Data Collection Hardware Collection Devices –Desktop PC’s –Microsoft Tablet PC Devices –Microsoft Pocket PC Devices –PalmOS Devices –Smartphones???

11. Communication Standards Developing/modifying standards so that software outside of the CBT realm can communicate with the LMS Determining common data structures for user records Integrating systems into the lesson plan for blended training solutions

12. Data Collection Application Demonstration Précis LOSA Data Collection Toolset Four Components to the Toolset –Précis.Acquire –Précis.Manage –Précis.Admin –Précis.Report

13. Précis.Acquire –Tablet PC based application –Runs both connected and disconnected to the network –Provides flexible interface and data collection points –Tested for in the cockpit usability –Currently being tested in real world environments
