Experience competence or syllabus?: Influences on flight hours at licensing of commercial pilots
Competency-based training is a training philosophy that has become well established
in many countries around the world, predominately in the vocational education
and training sector. In some of these countries, the concept has been extended
to include aviation flight training. This is the case in Australia, which introduced
the requirement for competency-based training in aviation in 1999 through the Civil
Aviation Safety Authority. This article gives a brief outline of the current status
of flight training in Australian aviation and also highlights some of the difficulties
facing flight training organizations in introducing a competency-based training system
into a tightly regulated aviation industry, in particular the conflict between the
philosophy behind competency-based training and the reality of meeting regulatory
minimums and airline syllabus requirements.
