Resume of Experience
AVIATION TRAINING
Training Development
I have 20 years experience managing training program development for flight crews, aviation
maintenance technicians, and ramp operations personnel using the Instructional Systems Design (ISD)
process. These duties have included responsibility for project schedule and budget. Each of these
programs has incorporated advanced learning theories and a variety of multimedia and simulation
applications. Subject areas have included aircraft-specific training, training in the use of automated
flight deck systems, and Crew Resource Management/human factors training. I am intimately familiar
with the need to balance quality, compliance, and cost to successfully compete in the rapidly evolving
aviation training market.
Regulatory Compliance
I have significant experience with training center and course approvals under Federal Aviation
Regulations (FAR), Transport Canada, and Joint Aviation Regulations (JAR). FAR experience includes
approvals under FAR 142; FAR 121, Subpart N and O, and Advanced Qualification Program (AQP);
FAR 135; and various exemptions. JAR Experience includes Type Rating Training Organization
(TRTO) certification and individual course approvals under JAR-OPS and JAR-FCL. JAR approvals
were accomplished through the United Kingdom s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
Instructor/Evaluator Training
I have managed the program of training and professional development for FlightSafety International's
company-wide staff of over 800 instructors for flight deck crew, cabin crew, and maintenance
technicians. I previously held similar responsibilities at SimuFlite Training International. Most
recently, I developed and implemented a facilitator training program for General Electric Capital Flight
Training, the second largest independent flight crew training center in Europe. My duties have included
training in interpersonal skills, company policy, instructional procedures and techniques, performance
evaluation techniques, equipment operation, and safety. As part of these duties, I supervised the
SimuFlite staff of Standards Instructors who are assigned to company-wide activities.
Flight Simulation
My background includes extensive experience in the application of high and low fidelity simulation
technologies within the training environment. Simulation training development has been applied to both
full and part task training objectives, including Line Oriented Flight Training (LOFT) and Line Oriented
Evaluation (LOE). During my employment at SimuFlite, I developed a rapidly reconfigurable
simulation methodology using the simulators' automated lesson plan capability. I have also served as a
member of the Air Transport Association's (ATA) Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) Working
Group as a member of the LOS/LOE focus group.
CRM and Human Factors
Since 1983 I have been deeply involved in the development and implementation of Crew Resource
Management (CRM) and human factors training for flight and ground crews. This activity includes
development and presentation of CRM workshops, Line Oriented Simulator Training (LOFT), Line
Oriented Evaluations (LOE), tracking of regulatory activities and research/development activity in this
area, and maintenance of contacts throughout the aviation industry.
I am co-founder of the Industry CRM Developers Group, a non-profit organization of over 500 CRM
and human factors professionals in more than 30 countries worldwide. This group maintains an Internet
forum for discussion of CRM and human factors training issues and an Internet web site for distribution
of development resources.
Advanced Training Technologies
Over the past several years, I have been involved in the development of techniques for training delivery
using Internet communications capabilities. This activity has included the presentation of an Aviation
Weather course for over 80 trainees using America Online. I have been involved in a benchmarking
study of Internet-based training that has identified the best practices of leading companies in the field. I
am also interested in the application of desktop computing technology to low fidelity simulation and
part-task training applications.
FLIGHT OPERATIONS
In addition to my duties as an aviation training professional, my 31-year aviation career has included
positions as flight department manager and flight crewmember. I have logged 5,000 flight hours and
hold an FAA Airline Transport Pilot Certificate with type ratings on the Learjet and Lockheed JetStar. I
also hold FAA Flight Instructor and Ground Instructor certificates.
INDUSTRY AFFILIATIONS
During my career, I have regularly participated in, and made presentations at a wide variety of industry
activities sponsored by the National Business Aircraft Association (NBAA), Flight Safety Foundation
(FSF), Air Transport Association (ATA), Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), International Air
Transport Association (IATA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and others.
