Importance of Training…..Then the captain ordered the evacuation of the aircraft
and the Cabin Manager instinctively jumped to action.
"I wasn't really thinking, but my body started carrying
out the steps needed for an evacuation. I was only
thinking about rescuing the next passenger."
Cabin Manager Lee Yong Hye

Another 9 years or 34 years later …..
� Dangerous Goods Training for cabin crew was introduced in Annex 6 Part I in 1983.
� ……ensure each cabin attendant is:
(a)…
(e) awareness of the types of dangerous goods which may, and may not, be carried in a passenger cabin and has completed the dangerous goods training programme

CRM TRAINING
� Since early 1990s. CRM training has been extended to Cabin Crew who has a shared responsibility to safety. Some airlines also initiated joint flight and cabin crew CRM training.
� Current Cabin Crew CRM training
covers the elimination, trapping
and mitigating errors and
identifying systemic threats
to safety.
New ICAO Document 10002 –
Cabin Crew
Safety Training
Manual

A Joint Industry-Regulatory Effort
New ICAO Doc 10002
� ICAO (Annex 6 - Part 1) requires initial and recurrent cabin crew safety training.
� ICAO has developed new guidance material for Cabin Crew Safety Training Manual
(Doc 10002).
� Replaces ICAO Doc 7192 dated 1996.
5/23/2014
11
New ICAO Doc 10002
New Materials in the Manual covers:
� Cabin Crew Training Requirements and qualifications
� Training Facilities and Devices
� Competency Based Training
� SMS Training for Cabin Crew
� In Charge Cabin Crew Training
� Fatigue Management Training
� Management aspects of Cabin Safety Training Programme

Competency Based Training
� Understanding Competency-based Training
� Traditional aviation training programmes are designed to acquire standards established to meet qualifications of licence, rating or privilege.
� Embedded in national regulations.
� Standards expressed in quantitative terms
- prescribe training programme “inputs”.
� Programme design and content influenced by Authority’s testing criteria and methods.
Competency Based Training
� Focused training on:� Job performance
� Adult learner
� Competencies are observable
and measurable.
� Training is adaptable.
� Better prepares cabin crew for on-the-job requirements.
� Tools to improve quality of training.
� Skills acquired may be transferable.
5/23/2014
13
Competency Based TrainingWhy Move Towards Cabin Crew Competency-based Training?
� Ensure cabin crew members are proficient to perform duties & responsibilities.
� Establish international baseline for cabin crew competencies.
� Encompasses safety, security and emergency training
Competency Based Training � Competency-based Training & Assessment
� Competency-based approaches characterized by:
– Emphasis on job performance
– Knowledge & skills required to perform
on the job
� Competency-based training aims at progressively building and integrating knowledge and skills required for
competency job performance.
5/23/2014
14
Competency Based Training � Competency-based Training &
Assessment….( Contd)
� Competency based assessments aim at measuring how well competencies necessary for the job are.
� Demonstrated to specified performance standards.
Crew In Charge Training
� Since 1990s, some States introduced initial training for
Crew In Charge to enable them to carry out specific tasks
during normal, abnormal and emergency situations
effectively.
� The training includes the coordination with flight and cabin
crew, the management of the cabin, interface with other
personnel (e.g. ground crew) and administrative tasks
related to the cabin operations.
� New ICAO Doc 10002 recommends Crew In Charge to
receive both initial and periodic training.
5/23/2014
15
Cabin Safety Training Devices
� Many States approve Cabin Safety training devices (e.g.
cabin mock up, emergency exits, fire fighting training
facilities).
� This is to enhance Cabin Crew training by providing an
accurate representation of :
(a) Cabin Crew and passenger seat location,
dimension and seat pitch.
29
Cabin Safety Training Devices
(b) emergency equipment and its location in
the aircraft.
(c) extent of movement and the required
associated force for the exits and
equipment.
(d) Markings and lightings of the aircraft
cabin.
5/23/2014
16
Cabin Safety Training Devices
(e) Communications equipment and
associated control panels.
(f) Evacuation slides, including normal and
standby methods of operation.
(g) Height and angle of inflated evacuation
slides.
� New ICAO Doc 10002 provides guidance for
States to approve/accept Training devices.
Trainee to Instructor Ratio
� New ICAO Doc 10002 recommends the following:
Computer Based Training 30: 1
Classroom environment 20 : 1
Practical Instructions 10: 1*
* Individual hands-on exercises on safety and
emergency equipment versus group simulated exercises may prompt an adjustment of the proposed trainee to instructor ratio.
5/23/2014
17
SMS Training
� Requirements for SMS training for Cabin Crew is also being addressed in Doc 10002.
� Training in SMS is defined as training which focuses on the role that the individual cabin
crew members play within the operator’s
SMS and how their contributions fit in the
bigger picture of safety management at the
overarching organizational level.
SMS Training
� During training, cabin crew should be shown how to fill in a hazard report (or an occurrence report) and submit it to management. If the operator has specific forms for different types of hazards or occurrences, all the different forms should be covered during training.

New Challenges
Next Generation of Aviation Professionals
� Strawberry Generation – Expensive, nice to look at, but
very easily bruised.
� High Expectations – Good theoretical knowledge due to
information technology. Believe their theoretical
knowledge can solve the world’s problem with minimum
effort and maximum effect.
5/23/2014
20
New Challenges
Next Generation of Aviation Professionals
� Demanding – From Day 1, expects a high salary and be
assigned with heavy responsibilities. They believe they
can solve the world ‘s problem.
� Sensitive - Cannot accept criticism and would give up
easily once they meet an obstacle.
New Challenges
Next Generation of Aviation Professionals
� Loves Technology and want to use it.
� Strangely most of them still prefers hard copy of Cabin
Crew Safety Manual during training.
� A combination of self paced learning, classroom learning
and hands on learning is recommended.
� Have short attention span. More practical training should
be provided for retention of information.
� Use realistic practical training scenario.
5/23/2014
21
New ChallengesCompetency Based Training Vs
Minimum Operating Experience
� Some countries require a Crew In Charge to have a
minimum operating experience of one year.
� ICAO does not provide any guideline for the minimum
operating experience of a Crew In Charge.
� With the introduction of competency based training, the
need for minimum operating experience is now
debateable.
Competency Based Training VsMinimum Operating Experience
“Regardless of the quality of training being provided, a
minimum operating experience is required particularly for
the Crew In Charge. This minimum experience should be
subject to the complexity of the aircraft operations. It cannot
be a one size fits all requirement. Had I only have one year
of operating experience as mandated by many countries, I
doubt I could have handle the situation as competently as I
did in this particular incident.”

New Challenges
Licensing of Cabin Crew
� ICAO Annex 1 does not require Cabin Crew to be licensed
but many countries license their Cabin Crew and this trend
is increasing.
� The New ICAO Document 1002 provides some guidelines
on cabin crew qualifications.
� If a State licences its Cabin Crew, the licensing process is
must not be merely a paper exercise but should incorporate
changes to address the training and competency of Cabin
Crew.
Final Thoughts� No two accidents are identical.
� The relentless, thorough and repetitive training on emergency procedures can provide only the tools, not the solution for crew to handle an emergency.
� No amount of training can cover each particular situation.
� Prepare to expect the unexpected.
� There are no text book procedures on how to react and respond to each and every situation.
� The greatest challenge in Training is to produce Cabin Crew who can to think on their feet, perform as required in a positive, confident and calm manner during any unexpected situation.
