Competency Based Training and Assessment (CBTA)

• Safety - Sound pilot competencies provide the

tool box to operate in normal situations and to

handle the unexpected

• Effective & efficient training - TNA and

operator feedback has shown that the

traditional training system is no longer aligned

with industry need

• Enable robust but iterative course design that

requires the use of best educational practices

and can utilise range of devices


CBTA is an holistic approach to pilot training

that provides the progressive and continuous

development and assessment of pilot

competencies

ICAO Definition - Training and assessment

that are characterised by performance

orientation, with emphasis on the standard of

performance and their measurement, and the

development of training to the specified

performance standards

Differences:

Traditional training v CBTA training

Separated theoretical and practical training

All training phases develop the pilot competencies and TEM

Each training phase ends in known test profile/ rote learn exam hurdle with pass/fail standard

Progressive and continuous training and assessment with grades +

summative assessments at milestones

Prescriptive hours based courses

Output directed, iterative, ISD driven course design

Devices defined

Training need can determine the required device characteristics- enabling

more effective and efficient training and encouragement of device innovation

Prescriptive regulation and oversight

Performance based oversight with focus on course quality and effective

processes


ICAO: Proposals for Amendment of Annex1 and PANS TRG

Annex 1 Proposals

• Definition update

• Finalised shift to CBTA MPL requirements

• FSTD credits for ATPL increased 100 to 250 hrs

PANS TRG Proposals

• Definition update

• Pilot competency framework

• New chapter on CBTA type rating

• Procedures for development of CBTA courses

• Instructor and evaluator competencies and

training

Envisaged applicability 5th November 2020


ICAO pilot competencies

1. Application of procedures and compliance with regulations

2. Communication

3. Aeroplane Flight Path Management, automation

4. Aeroplane Flight Path Management, manual control

5. Leadership and Teamwork

6. Problem Solving and Decision Making

7. Situation awareness and management of information

8. Workload Management

9. (Application of Knowledge)


ICAO: PANS TRG Amendment 5 and IATA


Instructor and Evaluator Competencies

1. Pilot competencies (IEC 1)

2. Management of the training environment (IEC 2)

3. Instruction (IEC 3)

4. Interaction with the trainee (IEC 4)

5. Assessment and Evaluation(IEC 5)

EASA training shift to CBTA

‘Cradle to grave’ pilot training pathway

Requirement for CBTA pilot training courses that:

• Continuously develop the pilot competencies with integrated TEM

• Are based on ISD methodology with each phase being output driven, and

• Utilise education best practices and supportive technology

Same competencies trained and assessed with progressive increase in task complexity and the

minimum ‘satisfactory’ standard

TK EASA exams and KSA competence assessments

EASA electronic subject exams, plus formative and

summative ‘Area 100 KSA’ assessments:

• cover across subject application and pilot

competencies

• designed and conducted by ATO

• assessed at the ATO using word pictures for

determining competence grade

• student debriefed by the ATO, to include

strength, weaknesses and action for future

improvement

• student must have achieved ‘Satisfactory’ grade

or higher in summative assessments and pass

mental maths test before final ECQB exam

CBTA in ab-initio training

A broader approach to training that:

• develops the pilot’s competencies and application of TEM from the start of training

• requires course design to consider and integrate ground and flight training topics

• uses range delivery methods to drive understanding and application

• engages, supports and motivates the training pilot to exceed ‘satisfactory’ grades

• provides supportive and facilitative debriefing of assessments and flights, covering strengths,

weaknesses and how to improve further

Further needs/issues:

• grading tools and data analytics

• instructor and assessor training (critical with decreasing experience level in FI groups)

• ATO risk assessment to be an early implementation step of CBTA in practical flight phases


CBTA Benefits

For All

Safety Support Growth

For industry

Training Effectiveness

Training Efficiency

Continuous course improvement and innovation

Assurance of at least a consistent minimum standard


CBTA Benefits

For the trainee

Best quality course possible for cost

Individualisation of training

Motivation

Support

Attract next generation of pilots

For the trainers and commanders of tomorrow

Strong pilot competencies underpin the wider role development
