Dynamics of Pilot Training

1. Comair, Inc. Captain Larry Neal Dynamics of Pilot Training Initial and Continuing Qualification

2. Dynamics of New Hire Training Background • Late in 2006 moving into 2007 we discussed the “low time” and “lower experienced” pilot market! Initial AQP data showed trends that required additional training resources. • In 2008 AQP trends and analysis showed us that we needed to concentrate on the first time Continuing Qualification crew members. • Changes were made and the results were seen immediately.

3. Dynamics of New Hire Training Advanced Qualification Program for the Initial Pilot Training • To define additional training requirements. • Identified the needed information to make a New Hire Pilot successful. • Outline of the Launch Program. • Ground School Sessions (Subjects Covered). • Simulator Sessions (FTD/ Full Flight Simulator). • Advanced Qualification Program data gave us a way to provide the needs of a New Hire pilot regardless of experience level entering the airline training environment.

4. Dynamics of New Hire Training As average class experience varies, we can modify our training program with AQP Class average experience 600 - 1,000 TT

16. MV and LOE Grading Scale # 1. Unsatisfactory - Major deviations from the prescribed qualifications standards occur that are not recognized or corrected. Individual or crew performance could result in hull loss or life. CRM skills are not effective. # 2. De-Brief - Deviations occur from the prescribed qualifications standards that are recognized and most corrected. Individual or crew performance meets expectations. CRM skills are effective. # 3. Standard - Minor deviations occur from the prescribed qualifications standards that are recognized and corrected in a timely matter. Individual or crew performance meets expectations. CRM skills are clearly effective. # 4. Performance - Remains well within the prescribed qualifications standards. Individual or crew performance, management and CRM skills are exemplary.
