Ab Initio betyr at en utdanner flygere fra grunnen av. Absolutt ikke noe nytt, eksempelvis har Lufthansa gjort det i mange herrans år. Det er antakelig veien å gå nå til dags, altså målrettet flytype en vet det kommer til å bli mangel på flygere på. (Red.)

Mexico City,
26th July 2018 – In its latest Global
Services Forecast, Airbus predicts that a total of 540,000 new pilots
will be needed over the next two decades. To help meet this demand, it is
launching the Airbus Pilot Cadet Training Programme, to include ab initio
training.
The
programme is being launched in partnership with Escuela de Aviacion Mexico (EAM),
located near to the Airbus Mexico Training Centre. After completing their
initial training with EAM, cadets will qualify at the Airbus Mexico Training
centre to become Airbus A320 pilots.
Airbus will everage its EASA-based
programme to offer an innovative, high-quality and cost-effective ab initio
training. Airbus customers will be able to delegate pilot screening activities
and to recruit competent pilots trained to global harmonised standards.
Cadets will
benefit from a complete and fully integrated Airline Transport Pilot Licence
(ATPL) programme built upon Airbus’ high standards and worldwide experience in
pilot training. The Airbus Pilot Cadet
Training Programme aims to equip cadets with the skills and mindset required to become an “operationally-ready pilot”.
Thanks to Airbus’ introduction of competency-based training throughout the
entire curriculum, the programme focuses on the all-important development of the
key pilot competencies. Global standards set by the Airbus Flight Training
reference, will ensure a harmonised, high quality training. Airbus also provides
a bridge course from local licence to EASA licence, allowing cadets to enlarge
their scope of future employers while ensuring the same high standards from a
harmonised training curriculum.
The
programme will be open to young people over 18 years old who have graduated from
high school. Candidates will undergo screening tests online and on-site. The
first batch of Airbus cadets is expected to start training in January 2019,
graduating in July 2020. Similar partnerships are planned across the globe over
the coming years.
Airbus has
been offering training courses since its creation some 50 years ago and has
always taken a comprehensive and innovative approach via its unique cockpit
commonality concept and the regular introduction of the latest technologies or
learning concepts (e.g. learning by doing).
Airbus
tripled its training locations worldwide in the last few years. With an
extensive and growing global network (, Airbus has created a complete flight
training package, allowing its customers to benefit from its training expertise
closer to their home base, ensuring a wider range of competent candidates make
it to the cockpit.
Escuela
de Aviacion Mexico (EAM) was established in 1943 and
trains 200 cadets per year. Serving Mexico’s main
airlines, EAM is located in Mexico City and Guadalajara with flight bases in
Acapulco, Cuernavaca and Atizapán. EAM operates the
largest modern training fleet in the country and uses latest-technology
simulators, including an A320 for the ab initio programme.
