Understanding and improving pilot learning and development at critical stages of their career: Maintaining airline safety in changing times

飞行员培训从未像现在这样重要，航空公司面临着巨大的竞争压力，需要改进培训，以应对快速增长和经验丰富的飞行员供应紧张的情况。在一个经济要务和飞机安全紧密相连的行业，支线航空公司尤其面临着招聘和提拔经验较少的飞行员的压力。这项研究旨在跟踪两组处于职业生涯关键阶段的飞行员：进入航空公司的新飞行员和寻求晋升为机长的副驾驶。该项目旨在通过对飞行员如何学习飞行的密切观察调查，填补飞行员培训研究的空白，在飞行员培训方面创造创新，适用于其他复杂的工作环境。

Pilot training has never been more important with intense competitive pressure on airlines to improve training in response to rapid growth and a tight supply of experienced pilots. In an industry where economic imperatives and aircraft safety are tightly interlinked, regional airlines in particular are under pressure to recruit and promote less experienced pilots. The study aims to follow two cohorts of pilots at critical stages in their careers: new pilots entering an airline and first officers seeking promotion to Captain. This project aims to fill a gap in research on pilot training through closely observed investigation into how pilots learn to fly, creating innovations in pilot training, with applicability to other complex work environments.
