The pilot competences: On the other side of the mirror

Modern threats in aviation, the famous black swans, are unexpected events, sometimes inexplicable, and usually of unpredictable consequences.

Modern tools capable of detecting, mitigating, and neutralising these threats are required before they degrade flight safety.

The "Pilot Competencies", a set of competencies defined by ICAO, IATA, and EASA, are mandatory, not only in the operation of the flight, but also in the training programs of all pilots, regardless of the type of aircraft, operation, nationality, authority, or company for which they work.

This book explains, using traditional methods, how to train to be a safe pilot, that is, competent and resilient, perfectly prepared to face modern threats through the efficient and effective use of these competencies, integrate them into the environments of Human Factors, CRM, TEM, and make the pilot ecosystem a safe place to manage the flight.
