Training Methodology

High Tech + Human Factor

We have developed our own methodology based on a cognitive and collaborative approach (the Philosophy behind the methodology). The reason is to integrate both the high tech-level with the human factor in order to obtain a high-tech collaborative training where both instructor and student play an active role in the learning process.

Cognitive approach

GTA ́s Methodology intends to prioritize reasoning and critical thinking above systematic memorization of concepts.

Concentrating the pilot training on moving away from  fact-based education towards collaboration.

From initial classroom attendance to competency-based training and assessment (CBTA) in the final stages of the full flight simulator sessions.

Collaborative approach

Develop and asses KSAs through assimilation of fundamental concepts and core competencies when flying an aircraft in a collaborative environment.

This new approach to pilot training aims to develop and assess trainees’ Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes (KSAs) by the assimilation  of Fundamental Concepts and Core Competencies when flying an aircraft in a collaborative environment.

ACT! Method Goals

We have created a tool to implement our methodology based on the cognitive and collaborative approach: the ACT! method. To provide the general principles, strategies and pedagogical tools to be applied when teaching, these are the goals of the ACT! method.

Key Training  Objectives

ACT! encompasses a variety of training objectives which are directed to:

01

Provide a meaningful learning.

02

Develop a smooth transition between ground and simulator training.

03

Encourage the development of pilots critical thinking skills.

Training Objectives

ACT! objectives aim to provide tangible skills to the trainees for real life situations which:

01

Ensure understanding and application of theoretical knowledge.

02

Develop effective strategies to deal with  real world situations through:

Strategy and course agenda

Development Teaching

Developmental teaching is an instructor-led learning situation, which solicits the active involvement of the trainees in the instructional process. It is one of the most useful methods.

CBTA

Developmental teaching is an instructor-led learning situation, which solicits the active involvement of the trainees in the instructional process. It is one of the most useful methods.

Summative Assessment

The summative assessments provided in the ACT! method enables the instructor and evaluator to work with a trainee to collect evidence of the competencies and performance criteria to be demonstrated with respect to the interim or final competency standards.

Aula Magna

Aula Magna is a module of ACT! which has been developed to integrate and align GTA’s training personnel in the philosophy of the methodology. The main objectives are standardizing and upskilling instructors’ KSAs.

Course structure: Self-explanatory

Course Objectives:

– Ensure understanding and application of knowledge.
– Develop an effective strategy to prepare trainees for real-life situations
– Apply CBTA
– Integrate TEM and UPRT
– Foster resilience

The value of the  Human Factor

We believe that instructor-student interaction is fundamental. Our instructors, with their extensive expertise and professionalism, are our most valuable resource. Their dedication ensures that each trainee pilot receives personalized attention tailored to their specific needs, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
