APATS 2023 Conference

For all the conference tracks, presentation proposals should address an aspect of aviation training and education in one or more of the following broad categories:

  • Airline stability & growth, including pilot hiring, recurrent/retraining.
  • Training the next generation, including ATOs, diversity, funding, EBT/CBTA/AQP/KSA100/ABLE/MPL, instructor standardisation and UPRT.
  • Technology enablers, including:
    • FSTD’s
    • AR/MR/VR/XR
    • Big Data/AI/Cloud/Metaverse
  • Human factors and personnel readiness, including cognitive processes, biometrics/tracking sensors, and situational awareness.
  • Environmental sustainability regarding training.
  • Cabin crew training challenges and solutions, including unruly pax.
  • Ab Initio training, issues and solutions.
  • Maintenance technician training challenges and solutions.
  • Regulatory challenges and developments.
  • OEMs and Industry Association roles.

APATS is an ‘applied’ conference and while full academic papers are not appropriate, we will consider summaries of appropriate aviation training and education research projects, particularly if there is international application.

Preference will be given to air carriers and training organizations with real-world training insights, lessons learned and training solutions and outcomes information. In no case will sales presentations be accepted. Presentations must fit into the APATS format, which is 15-18 minutes as ‘delivered’, followed by a Q&A period.
