EASA and Lufthansa Aviation Training Explain How EBT Data Becomes Training That Can Be Proven Effective

Halldale examines how operators turn evidence-based training from principle into a working programme. EASA says EBT draws on hazard and accident reports, flight data monitoring, investigations, manufacturer information and data from EBT sessions, and that it prescribes no fixed weighting between sources; the operator's management system and its safety, flight operations and training functions customise the programme. For baseline EBT, EASA stresses a mature management system, feedback process, cooperation between functions, a positive reporting culture, robust instructor standardisation and safeguards against misuse of EBT data. Lufthansa Aviation Training's Raghoonundun Gunputh says ICAO's Doc. 10002 competency framework for cabin crew needs an adapted competency model so instructors observe only behaviours relevant to a given exercise, and that cabin crew datasets will take several years to mature. He argues that vague findings such as poor workload management should be broken into causes like ineffective task delegation or delayed decision-making. EASA lists proficiency levels, observable behaviours, recurring errors and instructor agreement as effectiveness indicators, and says conclusions need sufficient exposure and sustained trends rather than single events. Pilot feedback may give an early qualitative signal.
