Core and Evidence (Evidence Based Training)

 Core and Evidence (Evidence Based Training) EBT

In my previous post, I wrote what does evidence based training technique mean, so now; I want to explain the difference about Core and Evidence.

Core:

The core competencies are evident and determinate and include everything a pilot needs to operate safely, effectively and efficiently in today’s aviation environment.

Evidence:

The evidence, is the results from the analyses of worldwide safety and training data. The evidence collections from normal operations monitoring LOSA (Line Operations Safety Assessment) and FDA (Flight Data Analysis), to data collected from training, accidents and incidents.

The evidence is used to determine the need for training (called training criticality) through aircraft of different generations. These results effort a three year recurrent program called EBT Baseline, published by ICAO in 2013. In the EBT Baseline, the training topics were resulting from the EBT Evidence Study and were used to recover and improve pilot performance in the core competencies.

The EBT is a voluntary program but its benefits are important to maintain a good safety records. The goal of EBT is to improve the safety operations by increasing the effectiveness of a good pilot training.

Evidence Based Training is designed to mitigate the existent risks we see in day-to-day operations, by developing competence, enhancing the capability of pilots to deal with unexpected and unforeseen events.

Evidence Based Training is also an Alternative Training Means that will allow pilots to improve and maintain competencies.

In my next writing post, I’m going to exchange dealing with the unexpected, and explain what the black sawn concept means theory in aviation is. 

So, what is an example of a black swan event, for the aviation industry, and also some examples of black swan events to pilots understand the concept.

The best safety device in any aircraft is a well-trained safety pilot.
