Flight training development is a key activity of continuous improvement in aviation safety performance, and it is part of a wider process of training design that also includes the analysis of training needs, the definition of syllabuses, the delivery of training, and its evaluation of training programs. Indeed, flight training development is the cornerstone of training design. The purpose of flight training development is to generate the plan of flight training scenarios, and it is crucial for a positive implementation of the training goals. For a long period, flight training development has revolved around a more or less predetermined list of training items to be accomplished in a simulator or in the aircraft.
Evolving technologies, training concepts and methods, and analytical tools for training design are increasingly affecting flight training development and require specific consideration. We shall review the entire flight training development process, starting from the c…
