FlightSafety International has released an eLearning version of its cold-weather operations course that runs on an iPad and on a standard Windows PC. The course covers both ground and in-flight icing, de-icing and anti-icing, including the latest 2012/2013 holdover timetables. The FlightSafety learning management system within the course tracks students’ progress and allows them to begin work on a PC and resume studying later from the same place in the program on an Apple iOS device.
In other FlightSafety news, the company is continuing a program designed to allow pilots and maintenance technicians to maintain their skills at no cost when they are between jobs. The program offers priority hiring to customers interested in joining FlightSafety as instructors. Jet Professionals’ full range of staffing services for both part-time and full-time placements is available through this Customer Care program to help unemployed pilots, flight attendants, schedulers and technicians with priority access to job opportunities. ServiceElements will provide webinars to help job-seekers improve customer-service skills and prepare for job interviews using an interactive facilitator format. Pilots eligible for a FlightSafety ProCard who train with FSI are also eligible for a complimentary life-insurance policy of up to $100,000. FlightSafety says customers will soon be able to book and confirm training sessions themselves online.
