FEATURES

27 TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Digital flyers With demand for pilots at an

all-time high, airlines are facing two huge

challenges – attracting enough candidates, and

adapting training to the computer age

28 Don’t read the manual Advances in airliners’

digital flightdeck technology has outpaced

evolution of pilot training, leaving the industry

scrambling for new ways to ensure aviators stay

in control

32 Skills generation For all its appeal, the

aerospace industry struggles to recruit talented

young people, so various UK institutions are

working together to build a modern, accessible

training system
