Training Management System

Flight safety is the ageless theme of civil aviation, and also the collective goal of Airbus and civil aviation industry of China. The training quality of flight crew and mechanics is fundamental to flight safety. Since the every beginning, Huaou Aviation Training Center has set up its primary objective of training and operation support as ensuring the flight safety, and established the training management system in strictly compliance with Airbus training centre standards, which includes the uniform selection, training and certification of instructors, uniform training outlines and course simultaneously updated with Toulouse Training Center, and uniform training programme and schedule. The simulators and other training facilities of HuaouCenter, including system enhancement and upgrades, also comply with the uniform standard of Airbus. Besides, HuaouCenter utilizes the same software system with that of ToulouseCenter for the training management, i.e. MAGIC for instructor qualification management, COCOS for training requirement information management and GIPSI for training schedule management. The implementation of these standards and usage of these software have constituted a firm basis of training quality assurance.

Furthermore, to have a satisfactory training outcome, each trainee will be asked, at the end of the training, to fill out the Training Satisfaction Investigation (TSI) form. The Training Quality Assurance Department of the Center will analyses the result of TSI and the management of the Center will determine necessary actions to be taken to ensure the consecutive improvement of training quality.

The differences within experience and style of each instructor, along with subjectivities during the training process may result in difference in the information delivered to each trainee. The Center has a Training Standardization Department with specifically trained standardization instructors, who will hold training standardization meeting on routine basis with the whole instructor team to address the issues and rectify the deviations encountered in the delivery process, so that the training is standardized and uniform information can be delivered.

The operators of Airbus jetliners spread all over the world and every often the operators will choice different types of engine and equipment to meet their specific needs. The two simulators of the Center have always been updated to cover the latest equipments, system functions and engine types so that customized training can be provided on the basis of the operator’s equipment option and engine type. Besides, these simulators is also equipped with particular visual databases for the airports specified by certain customer to address their specific training requirements.
