If you’ve had any connection to professional flying in Europe, you understand that the exams required to obtain your airline transport pilot license (ATPL) under the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) are notorious for their length and complexity. Recently the agency released its update governing flight crew licensing, the EASA 2020 theory syllabus, including the ATPL. This new document updates the Learning Objectives (LOs) for the theoretical knowledge syllabi, and introduces the TEM (threat and error management) concept and its application.
