Remote pilot training and currency
Train pilots on the aircraft they will actually fly, and prove their currency.
Remote pilot training and currency
Remote pilots are often trained on a generic simulator that handles nothing like the aircraft they will operate, and their currency is tracked, if at all, in a logbook nobody audits. The first time a pilot meets the real aircraft's behaviour is on a real flight.
Useful training needs a model that matches the aircraft and scenarios that match the mission, and building both for every airframe type is exactly the work most operators cannot spare. So training defaults to whatever generic tool is to hand.
Cadet trains against the same airframe model Crosswind uses, so pilots practise the handling and the failure cases of the actual aircraft. Skills and currency are recorded against each pilot, so who is current on what is a fact rather than a claim.
Cadet shares the airframe model with Crosswind, so the aircraft a pilot trains on is the aircraft the programme designed and flies.
Tell us what you are flying and where the programme is losing time. We will tell you honestly which of these helps and which does not.
