Flight Schools Find Jet Orientation Training Technology Key to Future Success
|
Date: Thursday March 26, 2009 |
Speakers include:
|
An Experts Round Table Discussion
The relevance of jet transition training and the technology behind it is receiving greater attention today because traditional ab-initio pilot training over the decades has not changed at the same pace as commercial aircraft's operating environment that is rapidly becoming more and more complex. Today's modern jet automated flight deck, intense traffic and ATC are just a few examples. Today's typical ab-intio curriculum still intensively relies on single pilot operation and many are questioning if it does prepare the student well for an airline pilot's job. Several avenues of improvements are being explored. This session will present several initiatives provided by some of the world's top FTO's that are bridging the gap between the traditional ab-initio training proficiency level and the required level for a smoother and more successful entry into airline operating environment. The session will also present some potential standard practices for the particular transition part of the training that today, with the exception of MPL, has very limited if any regulatory framework...not to mention the availability of a standardized advanced training curriculum.
The Webinar group will feature the following experts:
Moderator:
- Sandra Arnoult, Air Transport World, Senior Editor
Speakers:
- Francois Tremblay, Director Pilot Provisioning Worldwide, Mechtronix
- Ian Cooper, Chief Flight Instructor - Multi Pilot Aircraft, Oxford Aviation Academy
- Peter Sadler, Managing Director, Flight Training Europe S.L.
- Anna Kjaer, Chief Ground Instructor and Operating Manager, Center Air Pilot Academy
After brief presentations, the three experts will form an interactive panel that will answer your questions. Participants can ask the experts about the key considerations, financial issues and intricacies involved in training today's students as they make the transition into the automated flight deck.
Just a few issues addressed will involve:
- How you can prepare your students for both standard commercial pilot training and MPL.
- How to select and deploy the most affordable and practical technology for your students and the new changing needs of commercial clients.
- Why is this technology more affordable and practical for today's flight training organizations?
- Determining the ROI for your Flight Training Organization.

STRATEGIES FOR UNSCHEDULED AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
|
Date: Tuesday December 9, 2008 |
Speakers include:
|
What can be done and how to do it
Airlines and MRO shops are striving to optimize maintenance planning and execution to increase equipment uptime and reduce operating costs. The challenge, however, is that aircraft frequently require unscheduled maintenance--service that occurs outside regular maintenance programs.
How can airlines and MRO shops prepare for the unexpected?
- Plan and execute unscheduled maintenance
- Ensure that aircraft information is accurate and relevant
- Improve compliance and safety
In this free webcast, you'll learn from industry experts about how to improve maintenance efficiency, asset performance, compliance and safety by creating a seamless flow of information across service planning, inventory management and execution systems.

Date: Wednesday December 3, 2008 |
Speakers include:
|
This topical webcast will address the impact of new Environmental Regulations on airlines' operations, with a focus on the EU ETS, and present how IT systems can help airlines demonstrate their compliance with these regulations and control their environmental data, without suffering from this new burden.
The airline industry is faced with the challenge of cutting costs and streamlining operations; yet at the same time, companies in the airline industry are seeing more and more Environmental Regulations and reporting requirements. New Environmental Regulations will all create a significant impact on the airlines' operations to ensure proper implementations.
During this webinar, SITA and invited industry experts from the European Commission and EUROCONTROL will cover the Environment Regulatory matters, which usually contain Monitoring, Reporting and Verifications requirements that will impact all stakeholders from the Air Transport Industry. To meet new Environment challenges, it is imperative for Airlines to find cost-effective operational IT systems that can help demonstrate clear compliance visibility and offer increased control over their environmental data, through Monitoring, Reporting and Verifications.

Passenger self-service trends and adoption
|
Date: Tuesday October 7, 2008 |
Speakers include:
|
In this free webcast, we will share the findings of the 2008 Passenger Self-Service Survey conducted by SITA and Air Transport World. In its third edition, this annual survey interviewed over 2,000 passengers at the gates of 6 of the world leading airports:
- Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson airport
- Paris Charles de Gaulle International airport
- Mumbai International airport
- Johannesburg International airport
- Sao Paulo Guarulhos International airport
- Moscow Domodedovo International airport
This survey gives a unique snapshot of the adoptions of "self-service" technologies through the measure of "actual" usage by passengers. Moreover, it gives an interesting insight into passengers preferences and willingness to use technology throughout their travel experience in the future.
What needs to be done to increase passenger adoption while delivering the expected return-on-investment for airlines and airports? As self-service options are increasingly becoming mainstream, what are the main challenges and priorities facing the Air Transport Industry?
During this webcast, you'll be able to hear about Mumbai International airport's experience in deploying self-service alternatives on and off-airport and well as their plans towards self-service expansion in the future.

New generation aircraft communications: the airlines' challenge
|
Date: Thursday September 18, 2008 |
Speakers include:
|
This topical webcast will address the business transformation imperatives resulting from the advent of a new generation of aircraft systems such as Electronic Flight Bags generating much higher data transfer requirements than the traditional ACARS systems that have been around for 30 years. These new generation communications systems will come as standard in the new A380 and B787 models and be progressively added to existing models.
The speakers will cover the challenge of establishing wireless coverage in airports worldwide and via satellite broadband networks. They will discuss how aircraft cockpit data communications migration from ACARS to using the much more open Internet Protocol will pose the challenge of securing and encrypting air-ground communications.
Hear about the challenges and opportunities, the impact on existing processes and systems, and the implications for security as next-generation aircraft become part of the IT network.
Discussion topics will include:
- New cockpit systems: Electronic Flight Bags, Electronic Logbooks
- Impact on aircraft operations: proactive and en-route maintenance, faster turn-around, mixed fleet management, access to aircraft manufacturers
- Connectivity: open but secure connection via airport networks and Inmarsat
- Growing data exchange volumes: the need for high bandwidth to enable implementation of data-hungry applications at reasonable cost
Join us on September 18!
