This article by Cedric Paillard on aviationtraining.ai<\/a>\u00a0explores one of the challenges of modern aviation training. While Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) improves how pilot performance is measured, does it fall short in addressing the deeper cognitive processes behind decision-making, adaptability, and resilience under pressure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article argues that true operational competence cannot be reduced to observable behaviours alone, especially in complex and unpredictable flight environments. It offers a thought-provoking perspective on the future of pilot training, questioning how aviation can better integrate cognitive science, human factors, and AI-driven insights into next-generation assessment models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
