AS FEATURED ON BBC & DISCOVERY CHANNEL
PILOT TRAINING
My Human Performance & Limitations session is a 6 hour workshop built to link ATPL Human Performance & Limitations to real anatomy. As a commercial pilot myself and former ATPL student, the concept of complex biology is better understood in the HPL context through a solid understanding of A&P. This 6 hour workshop is built for ATO ATPL providers to enhance the way they teach this subject, improve student knowledge and develop their pilot career. A solid understanding of A&P helps better cement core principles of ATPL theory, embed a basis for developing good CRM at APSMCC and help in decision making during emergencies. Having spent 15 years training doctors, surgeons, pathologists, paramedics, nurses & midwives in the NHS. There is no doubt this experience will transform pilot cadet understanding.
Who is it for?
The Human Performance through Dissection is a 6 hour long course aimed at current ATPL students studying for the Human Performance & Limitations exam. It's a fast paced hands on journey through all of the major organ structures accompanied with contextualised and clinical based demonstrations relating human factors within aviation theory into hands on biology.
Students will undertake an expert led thorougher and complete dissections of the head, brain, spine, eye, trachea, lungs, heart, stomach, intestines, liver, gall bladder, rectum and anus. The main aim being to embed ATPL theory, give a solid basis for the APSMCC CRM training giving pilot cadets confidence in the 9 pilot competencies at interview, sim check and onwards into their career. CRM matters, it starts by understanding ourselves, our bodies and how we perform on the flight deck. Pilots completing this one day course report a better understanding of their bodies and place more importance on healthier life choices to protect their medical as well as dramatically improving their CRM.
