The problem we fix

Your training plan is approved. Your evidence lives in twelve spreadsheets.

Most units run CBTA the way they ran the old syllabus: Word for the plan, Excel for the PCS, paper for the assessment sheet, memory for the consolidation. Each handover between those files is a place where traceability breaks and an audit stalls.

EDS puts the chain in one data model. The exercise knows which objectives it serves, the assessment knows which situation it observed, the readiness recommendation knows which rule produced it.

TodayWeeks of audit preparation. Exercise difficulty that depends on who designed it. Struggling trainees spotted at the board.

With EDSEvidence exported in hours. Series balanced by algorithm. Gaps flagged after the second session, with the rule that flagged them.

The pedagogical chain

Competency framework

Eight links. Each one is a data object that knows about the one before it. Scroll through them.

Explore the platform

Competency framework

The adapted competency model: competencies, observable behaviours (OB1.1 to OB10.3), assessment conditions and standards, versioned Draft, Approved, Retired. Approved releases are immutable.

ICAO 10056 · CCC

Performance objectives

Subject, topic, sub-topic course tree with one action verb per objective, mapped many-to-many to the observable behaviours each one evidences.

Module per rating

Weighted control situations

Particular Control Situations with their operational contexts, control load, equivalence class A to D and the Knowledge, Skills and Attitude expected for each.

PCS catalogue

Balanced exercises

Algorithmic distribution in one click: every PCS seen at least three times, equivalence classes balanced from one exercise to the next.

Series generation

Scenario and roadbook

Flights, logs and ancillary tasks timed from aircraft performance and route fixes, previewed in a 2D animated view with the workload curve.

Timing engine

Simulator transfer

Flight plans exported in the exact record your simulator ingests, through transfer templates your team defines once.

Any simulator

K/S/A assessment

Instructors capture Knowledge, Skills and Attitude per PCS during the session, formative or summative, tablet or desktop. Signed sheets lock.

Evidence collection

TRDSS consolidation

The inference engine turns observations into PCS, objective and behaviour statuses, then a readiness recommendation, with a hashed audit pack.

Readiness decision

Inside the platform

Six capabilities. One data model.

Designers, instructors, trainees and managers each work in their own space on the same records. Nothing is re-typed between the exercise, the session and the report.

Pedagogical content

Modules, objectives and control situations, governed.

Ready-to-use modules such as ADC Rating and APP Pre-OJT, or your own. Each carries its course tree, performance objectives, PCS with operational contexts and the Knowledge, Skills and Attitude expected for each, under an adapted competency model that only changes through an approved version.

Exercise generation

Balanced series in one click, hand-tuned when you want.

Map PCS to objectives, set the constraints, and EDS distributes them across the series: minimum occurrences, diversity, balanced equivalence classes from one exercise to the next. Indicators show where a series drifts; the designer can still move any situation by hand.

Equivalence classes keep cognitive demand comparable across cohorts

Scenario designer

A roadbook that times itself.

Define flights, vehicles, logs and ancillary tasks, place them on the timeline, and let EDS compute times over fixes from aircraft performance profiles and route coordinates. Each PCS is scenarised in one of its operational contexts; the 2D animated view shows the picture the trainee will face, minute by minute.

Simulator transfer

Your simulator's format, not ours.

No two simulators ingest the same flight plan. EDS ships a transfer template builder: your team describes the record your simulator expects once, with its own codes and lookup tables, and every exercise then exports in that format from a single button.

Table, CSV or pattern output; several templates per simulator
Thirteen transformations (WIDTH, LEVEL, TIME, MAP against lookup tables…), conditional sections, nested fix blocks

Assessment

K/S/A captured in session, consolidated by TRDSS.

Instructors assess Knowledge, Skills and Attitude for each control situation on standard forms, each component carrying its criticality (C1 to C3), with a pedagogical justification and NGP value on every POK. Signed sheets lock and archive. TRDSS then derives PCS results, objective, behaviour and competency statuses without arithmetic compensation, and recommends whether the trainee is ready for final assessment.

Multi-site and analytics

One instance per training unit, one view for headquarters.

Each unit runs its own EDS instance with as many workspaces as it needs. Instances synchronise syllabi, PCS, exercises and assessment sheets into a consolidated management view, so a central training department can check that every site follows the approved plan.

TRDSS inference engine

From one observation to a decision you can defend.

The Training Readiness Decision Support System implements the ATCE handbook's decision matrices as versioned rule sets, not as code. Each K/S/A assessment is qualified by its criticality, NGP value, safety and orderly-flow judgement, then consolidated upward. A gap at one level is never offset by a strength elsewhere.

Non-compensationOne NOT DEMONSTRATED behaviour under the ALWAYS standard holds the competency.

Recovery evaluatedA later OK clears an earlier POK or NOK only if its value of demonstration is at least as high.

ReplayableEvery result reproduces from its rule set version and its evidence.

Explicit gapsWhen no rule covers a sequence, the engine says so rather than guess.

Savings estimated for an annual trainee cost of $60k and an average 15% failure rate. Training duration assumes a 5% reduction in simulator time.

Exercise creation has been approximately three times faster than with our previous methods. EDS helped us align our training objectives with ICAO, EASA and DIRCAM recommendations and structure our programming methodology in a clear, rigorous and efficient way.
