Aviation Schools Training Online for Now, Eyeing Future
Schools have adapted to online curriculums for now but believe these tools can be used in part to maintain a future pipeline.

Aviation trainers have adapted their curriculums to an online environment to the extent possible in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, stressing a need to maintain currency and skills of today’s pilots and mechanics. At the same time, the training experts who spoke on Tuesday during an AIN webinar, “How the Aviation Training Industry Is Coping with the Covid-19 Pandemic,” emphasized the need to ensure that the pipeline of students continues to move in anticipation that the pilot and mechanic shortage will return in a few years.
