ZURICH, November 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Swiss AviationTraining (SAT) has become the world's first flight
training organization to offer the CEFAsim simulator flight
evaluation facility on an Airbus A320 simulator. The new CEFAsim
technology makes flight training debriefings more efficient, more
effective and more successful; and by adopting it in its A320
simulator SAT is further cementing its leading position as a top
address for quality, innovative and professional pilot
training.
The combination of flight training and debriefing is the
cornerstone of any thorough and effective initial or further pilot
training. CEFAsim offers a time- and cost-efficient solution here,
and one that meets customers' highest quality standards. The
facility enables all the key points in a simulator training flight
to be revisited and analyzed by the trainee and their instructor to
ensure maximum training success.
"The two aims of raising economic efficiency and continuously
enhancing flight safety are by no means incompatible," says
Roland Waser, Head of Pilot Training
at SAT. "In fact, they can go hand in hand. And our CEFAsim flight
data visualization tool is an excellent example of this, helping
substantially improve learning success and, at the same time,
raising the efficiency of the training provided."
SAT has now become the first flight training provider in the
world to use CEFAsim software, a product of CEFA Aviation, in an
Airbus A320 simulator. As the simulator session progresses, the
software records all the flight parameters and all the actions
taken on the flight deck. It also gives the instructor the option
of 'bookmarking' key moments or situations to return to them more
quickly and easily during the subsequent debriefing. And by
presenting visual, chart and audio sources together on the same
user interface, the technology further allows any step in the
session to be specifically analyzed to enhance learning
success.

"For our customers our use of this CEFAsim technology really
raises training efficiency, because all the data required are
available as soon as the simulator session is finished," explains
Roland Waser. "CEFAsim also enhances
the effectiveness of our simulator training, because it allows any
relevant event or situation to be analyzed together with the
instructor to ensure maximum learning benefit."
The use of CEFAsim has no impact on the simulator flight itself.
In addition, the new technology is only used with the express
approval of the trainee, and such use is carefully aligned to the
customer's specific training needs. And, once the corresponding
debriefing has been concluded, all the data collected (especially
the video sequences) are deleted immediately, to ensure that due
and full regard is paid to all data protection provisions.
