IndiGo to Implement Evidence-Based Training for Pilots
IndiGo, a major airline, wants to make its pilot training even better.
They already train pilots to be good at their jobs, but they want to use real flight data to create new training programs.
This new training, called Evidence-Based Training (EBT), will help pilots make smarter decisions and be more aware of what's happening around them during flights.
They plan to collect lots of information from their flights and use smart computer programs to figure out the best ways to teach pilots.
This will help make flying safer for everyone.
IndiGo plans to implement evidence-based training (EBT) programs for its pilots.
The airline currently uses Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA).
EBT aims to enhance pilot skills such as situational awareness and decision-making.
IndiGo will utilize data analytics and artificial intelligence to inform training.
The move is part of ongoing efforts to improve pilot competencies.
