Data-Driven Training

We use L3Harris’ Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) as part of your flight training, which provides data-driven insights.

FDM provides detailed feedback on all training flights helping create a more efficient training environment and safer pilots.

• Airlines use similar technology: Data is key to an airline’s operation and we are committed to recreating that, or a similar environment in your training journey
• Efficiency: Each cadet is different. Throughout training you receive insight that can highlight areas of excellence and potential improvement, a shift towards competency-based training

This training innovation received the prestigious Aviation Technology Achievement Award. Check out the video below.
