Cadet training in a SkyDynamics FNPT II simulator

ATO to the line

One pilot record, from the first lesson to the line.

A cadet is assessed in a flight school, again in an MPL or type-rating course, and again in recurrent training, usually in three systems that do not speak to each other. SkyDynamics builds the devices and the software for every stage on one platform, so the pilot record travels with the pilot.

The problem

Where the pipeline breaks

  • At the handover

    An airline receives a logbook and a certificate, not the competency picture the ATO built over eighteen months.

  • At the device

    Training is planned around the device that is free rather than the device that can credit the lesson.

  • At the standard

    The ATO, the type-rating organisation and the airline each grade to their own interpretation of the same competencies.

The pipeline

Four stages, one thread

One record

The record follows the pilot, not the organisation.

Logbook hours and the training file stay attached to the pilot as they move from the flight school to the right-hand seat. From type rating onward, competency assessments, scenarios, devices and instructor observations build up in AeroEBT, so a training department planning a cycle can see where each pilot has actually been. Carrying ab initio competency grades into that history is on the roadmap.

  • One pilot account across ATO, MPL, type rating and recurrent
  • Portable logbook from the first lesson; competency history from type rating onward
  • Device capability recorded with each session, through FCS++
  • Exportable at any time: the data belongs to the organisation that owns it

Who this is for

Both ends of the pipeline, and the partnership between them

  • Airlines running cadet programmes

    Follow progress at your partner ATO through the sponsor portal while the cadets are still there, not at the handover.

  • ATOs supplying airlines

    Show airline partners evidence rather than assurances, in the format their training department already uses.

  • Flight schools growing into ATOs

    One system for operations and training records as approvals expand.

  • Training organisations with mixed fleets

    Devices, scenarios and syllabi managed together, with each session run on a device that can credit it.

What sits behind it

One supplier for the devices and the software

Few companies build both the simulator and the training system that runs on it. That is what makes one record across the pipeline practical rather than theoretical.

Questions airlines and ATOs ask

It is easier when they do, but not required. What matters is that competency data can be exported and imported in a structured form rather than as a PDF.

The organisation that collected it, subject to the GDPR and the agreement between the ATO and the airline. Nothing is shared between organisations without an explicit arrangement.

Yes. Most operators start with recurrent EBT or with ATO operations, then extend. The pipeline is a direction, not a prerequisite.

No. The software works with any FSTD. Using our devices means the capability evidence arrives with the device.

Knowledge, skills and attitudes assessment in the ATO phase is part of programme design. Recording it in the same competency structure as later stages is on the roadmap; today ATO lessons carry competency marks.
