Pilot training in our time ‐ use of flight training devices and simulators

Abstract The challenge of pilot training include adapting to an industry in which the environment is formed by steep upturns and downturns, cut‐throat competition, and advanced technology that continues to change the role of the pilot and in which safety always must match the continuously increasing demands of efficiency. The pilot training performed at flight training organisations (FTOs) is the fundament in the education of captains and first officers who will be able to manage the operational “sharp end” of this environment.
