CAE is continuing to expand competency based training and assessment methodologies across its business aviation recurrent training programmes.

The approach places greater emphasis on human performance factors such as decision making, communication, workload management and situational awareness rather than focusing solely on procedural repetition. By integrating competency based assessment into recurrent training, CAE aims to better prepare crews for real world operational challenges and dynamic flight environments.

The shift reflects broader industry movement toward evidence based training models designed to strengthen crew performance under pressure and improve operational resilience. Human factors and adaptive decision making are increasingly recognised as critical components of aviation safety.

As business aviation operations grow more complex, competency based training is becoming an important tool in developing more capable and resilient flight crews.
