EATS 2026Loss of control in flight is the leading cause of commercial airline fatalities. Approach and landing incidents are far more frequent and represent a significant source of financial losses. Both depend largely on pilot manual flying skills.
IDT trains and validates your instructors to proficiency in both. Our programs fit within your EBT/CBTA.
Increased automation and stricter procedures have not really reduced the number of safety events.
Compliant ≠ Competent.
Many airline UPRT programs lack comprehensive instructor training and standardisation. Many also contain little or no “Prevention” components – the most critical part of the program. IDT’s UPRT 2.0 program fills that gap. It augments what an airline has already done, and focuses on training and validating instructors on their UPRT competencies.
Integrated into EBT. UPRT 2.0 integrates into your EBT program, instead of a separate UPRT training for each pilot. This minimises implementation cost, without increasing overall training time.
Approach and landing events represent a significant proportion of aviation incidents, and can result in substantial financial losses through aircraft damage and operational disruption.
There is invariably no formal training program for airline instructors on how to train landing skills. FAST trains and validates your instructors on accurate, standardised landing techniques, and gives them a “toolbox” by which skills can be trained or improved. Easy integration into your EBT/CBTA programs.
Reduction of hard landing incidents, bringing their occurrence to near-zero levels.
Example case: a Boeing 737 NG/MAX operator achieved these results within six months of introducing FAST, despite an increase in monthly flights from 7,000 to 10,000.
We are cautious in suggesting that FAST alone made these improvements, however its contribution is clearly significant.
Your FDM data shows what happened. We show why.
IDT’s specialists analyse your landing data to identify the piloting technique behind deviations. The findings show where training will have the most effect. Available without a training program: a first view of your landings, from your own data.
I’d like to know moreIDT has pioneered and shaped the requirements for UPRT globally, including chairmanship of the ICAO-supported International Committee for Aviation Training in Extended Envelopes.
IDT has supported UPRT implementation in several major airlines, including 23 flag carriers – and taught UPRT concepts to National Aviation Authorities of many nations.
UPRT and FAST are built on decades of airline training and management experience.
