About Our Mission• Gov’t aircraft and Crews

– CL 601, CL 604, LR 60, BE 300 (Bulk of fleet)– Total of 168 Pilots and Mission Specialists

• Inspect the National Airspace System (NAS)

• Inspect both Domestic and Int’l systems– Military contingent

• FAR 135 certificated program– Voluntary– Non-passenger Carrying– Exemptions



BE 300



Where We Were• Road Shows $$$

– 6 bases of Operations (ACY, ANC, ATL, BTL, OKC, SAC)– Budget Constraints– Content Standardization Issues

• Third party on-line training providers – Check in the block– Lost control of content and expensive

• Record Keeping– Spread Sheets– Error Prone

• Mountains of paper files/records

• Mistakes/Self Disclosures



What We Needed

• Needed a way to deliver training more efficiently and timely to crews remotely

• Needed a way to ensure content standardization and relevance (Regain control over our content)

• Had to get away from error prone paper methods of tracking training

• Research for a Cost Effective alternative



Results• Aviation Training Management System (ATMS)

– Manages Training Requirements– Provides performance data required by Regulatory Agencies– Schedules training resources

• Devices, instructors, trainees, instructors-in-training and observers

– Manages current and historical records• Positions, qualifications, user defined entries and training

records– Forecasts future training requirements– Delivers On-line content through the use of ATMS Web

application



ATMS Web

• What is ATMS Web?– Instructor / student interface w/ ATMS Core– Allows access to personal information

• Medical expirations, addresses, phone numbers

– Allows instructors to see and grade training evolutions……On-line!

– Allows students to see upcoming classroom, flight/simulator training they are assigned to

– Allows students to take SCORM compliant online content through the ATMS Web LMS application



Web Training Process

• We develop our own content in Power Point– Most of our content was already in Power Point we just had to

modify it for Web deployment

• Publish the PP products into Flash content for Web Deployment– Articulate Pro ’09 Suite (Authoring Tool)– Publish for SCORM reporting and tracking

• Place training content on our own servers for deployment to our crews using ATMS Web– When and how we want– Great Time Savings



Web Training Results

• Smooth and quick delivery of content to our crews when and how we wish using a common Web user interface

• Regained control over our content quality for regulatory and non-regulatory mission training (Blended training possibility)– Scenario based

• 100% Training Tracking (Zero Errors)– Electronic Database– Self Auditing– Validate Training (Not a check in the block type of training)

• Very cost effective
