Abstract

This 'report from the field' outlines a new training and assessment framework introduced into a regional airline. The methods used to analyse the effect of the implementation have included surveys, analysis of pilots' rater training, historical and contemporary data analysis. Initial findings have been positive, with early findings identifying a greater emphasis on non-technical skills assessment. Further analysis on rater performance - reported in another study - has identified interesting trends appearing in how pilots of differing rank assess performance.
