“You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” Operators that integrate data management strategies with their training operations can monitor and control programs based on valid information produced through rigorous Big Data processes. Training leaders can make decisions based on evidence rather than intuition. Business leaders can align training effectiveness and efficiency analytics with company goals and objectives.
Leveraging the Halldale 2020 virtual Global Aviation Training Simulation in November followed by the virtual European Head of Training meeting in early 2021, Five (5) major topics surfaced that the industry agreed needed additional focus. The Halldale / CAT Leader Forum was launched, comprising skill decay, XR technologies, EBT/CBTA, Big Data, and UPRT. As the aviation community discussed these topics it became apparent that data underpinned much of the conversation and additional work should be undertaken.
The collaboration between the Aircrew Training Policy Group (ATPG) and the Halldale Group expanded to bring a working group together to help the industry make sense of Big Data. The aim of the working group was to put together a straightforward white paper for Big Data in Aviation Training that is accessible to operators of any size or scope across the globe. The group is comprised of Industry professionals spanning the globe and across the aviation training spectrum.
This body of work delves expressively into pilot recurrent training, as this type of training is the most common across the globe. This is by no means an exhaustive guide to Big Data; it is the working group’s starting point or minimum viable product (MVP) in ‘agile’ terms which is the methodology the group used to tackle this broad subject.
