Systems and methods for evidence-based training of aircraft operators

A computer system for evidence-based training of aircraft operators, the computer system comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations including:
• receiving, by a flight data monitoring system from one or more flight data sources separate from the flight data monitoring system, aircraft flight data indicative of one or more flight actions performed by an aircraft operator in operating aircraft during an actual flight of the aircraft, wherein the aircraft flight data is captured by the one or more flight data sources during the actual flight of the aircraft;
• upon receiving the aircraft flight data from the one or more flight data sources separate from the flight data monitoring system, analyzing, by the flight data monitoring system, the aircraft flight data indicative of the one or more flight actions performed by an aircraft operator in operating aircraft during the actual flight of the aircraft, to thereby determine an assessment of a performance of the aircraft operator in operating the aircraft during the actual flight of the aircraft, wherein the assessment is determined based at least in part on the aircraft flight data captured by the one or more flight data sources;
• based on the assessment, determining a training scenario to be presented to the aircraft operator via a training simulator as part of training for the aircraft operator, wherein the training simulator is separate from the aircraft, and wherein the training scenario is determined based at least in part on the aircraft flight data is captured by the one or more flight data sources during the actual flight of the aircraft;
• providing, to the training simulator, information indicative of the determined training scenario;
• receiving, from the training simulator, training flight data indicative of one or more simulated actions performed by the aircraft operator during a simulation of the scenario using the training simulator, wherein the one or more flight actions and the one or more simulated actions define separate actions executed by the aircraft operator during the actual flight of the aircraft and the simulation using the training simulator, respectively;
• and
• based on the training flight data and the assessment, determining an evaluation of the training for the aircraft operator.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a method for evidence-based training of aircraft operators, the method including:

• receiving, by a flight data monitoring system from one or more flight data sources separate from the flight data monitoring system, aircraft flight data indicative of one or more flight actions performed by an aircraft operator in operating aircraft during an actual flight of the aircraft, wherein the aircraft flight data is captured by the one or more flight data sources during the actual flight of the aircraft;
• upon receiving the aircraft flight data from the one or more flight data sources separate from the flight data monitoring system, analyzing, by the flight data monitoring system, the aircraft flight data indicative of the one or more flight actions performed by an aircraft operator in operating the aircraft during the actual flight of the aircraft, to thereby determine an assessment of a performance of the aircraft operator in operating aircraft during the actual flight of the aircraft, wherein the assessment is determined based at least in part on the aircraft flight data captured by the one or more flight data sources;
• based on the assessment, determining a training scenario to be presented to the aircraft operator via a training simulator as part of training for the aircraft operator, wherein the training simulator is separate from the aircraft, and wherein the training scenario is determined based at least in part on the aircraft flight data is captured by the one or more flight data sources during the actual flight of the aircraft;
