CAE, an eVTOL Writers Group Interview

An innovative & data-driven approach to building the Aviation Workforce of Tomorrow in Advanced Air Mobility, a VFS webinar on July 7, 2021.

We are on the cusp of a new era of aviation and with this new era comes a huge demand for uniquely trained professional pilots to safely fly passengers and cargo at scale across global markets. While most attention in the field of Advanced Air Mobility has been focused on advances in electric propulsion, sources of power, and infrastructure, a void exists in the narrative on pilot training. This talk covered a wide range of topics from challenges in developing a training program for the eVTOL aircraft, the relevance of training to type certification as well as insights into the optimal training structure and regulatory pathways required to make this vision of tomorrow’s pilots a reality. It expanded on new and innovative training technologies and methodologies that will shift the training paradigm towards affordability and scalability while keeping safety paramount for the unique challenges of Advanced Air Mobility.
