AIRCRAFT INTERACTIONS

The operation of an aircraft necessitates precise communication between pilots and flight attendants. Clear and effective communication is imperative to facilitate informed decision-making and ensure successful flight operations for all on board. The objective of this training initiative was to deliver a streamlined and effective program, addressing pertinent details that flight crew members must assimilate, and equipping them with the skills to effectively identify, address, and resolve operational issues.

Tools Used: Articulate Rise, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Character Animator, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro.

Needs Analysis: The training in place was too generic and didn't cover the specific safety procedures flight crews needed. Additionally, substantial funds were spent on training that wasn't effective. The goal was to create training that not only familiarizes learners with equipment but also evaluates their proficiency in its proper usage.

Development/Solution: I aimed to create a visually engaging course that enhances learning retention. It covered essential information for both pilots and flight attendants in a simplified manner. Visual consistency and clear navigation were priorities. I chose Articulate Rise for smooth flow. Using Adobe Illustrator, I crafted illustrations for easy-to-understand videos animated with Adobe Character Animator and After Effects. These videos depicted interactions between pilots and attendants, reinforcing briefing and debriefing tasks. Final editing was done in Adobe Premiere for a professional touch.

Outcome: The training received positive feedback for its tailored approach to flight crew requirements and resulted in an estimated annual cost savings of $190,000 for the company.
