Cloud Aero Training

}} Cloud Aero Training describes elearning specifically aimed at the civil aviation industry and delivered using Cloud Computing. Training for pilots, cabin crew and maintenance staff is standardised throughout the world under the leadership of ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organisation, and therefore is especially suited to the concept of Cloud Computing and Cloud Aero Training. In Europe the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) governs training standards.^[1][2] Certain courses are mandatory in most countries where civil aircraft are registered and operated. These include training in knowledge and recognition of how Human Factors can influence human performance of maintenance staff and aircrew,^[3] training in Fuel Tank Safety dealing with the causes and prevention of ignition in empty fuel tanks leading to catastrophic explosions,^[4] and training in recognition and correction of wiring defects caused by age or damage in Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS).^[5] Other subjects are becoming or already are mandatory training for airline staff and lend themselves to Cloud Aero Training due to the common worldwide requirement agreed through ICAO or IATA (International Air Transport Association). They include Safety Management Systems(SMS),^[6] Composite Material and the Regulations for Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Air.^[7] Cloud Aero Training can use any of several types of software to generate the courses, which are then delivered by a Learning Management System (LMS). For example Cloud Aero Training Ltd uses a combination of Articulate and Articulate On Line; open-source software such as Moodle can be used. Compliance with the SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) standard is normal. The use of Cloud Aero Training enables airlines, aircraft maintenance organisation and ground handling providers to train large numbers of staff, initially and the with continuation training, at relatively low cost with minimum disruption to work flow. There is no need to call off-duty staff in for a classroom course, nor to call in staff from outstations.
