FlightSafety International just announced a new integrated pilot-performance evaluation and training tool called FlightSmart that begins moving away from qualitative-based instruction towards evidence and competency-based training. Bert Sawyer, FlightSafety’s director of strategic management said, “It employs artificial intelligence and machine-learning technology to capture insights using evidence-based training methodologies and then predicts the best training approach to learning by providing instructors with a comprehensive understanding of a pilot’s strengths and weaknesses.” FlightSmart was created after the training company received a contract in November 2019 from the US Air Force Air Education and Training Command.
