The year 2023 is off to a good start. The Covid crisis, which severely impacted our aviation sector, is behind us; the outlook for air traffic is approaching its pre-crisis level, and our sector is making significant progress in its ecological transition.
At the same time, the Aeronautics Training and Career fair held at Le Bourget in early February was again well attended. More than 10,500 visitors came to meet with flight schools and exhibiting companies over three days.
These schools are delighted, they are full to capacity... and yet... the shortage of professional pilots concerns experienced pilots much more than "low timers".
So how can we better adapt to the needs of the market?
Flight schools will have to redouble their efforts to promote their training, to develop their attractiveness against competition, to increase their level of training requirements in order to be among the best. At the same time, they are faced with the challenges of increasing costs, spare parts, fuel, etc., and must optimize training in order to maintain the attractiveness of training and flying at a high level.
In this context, we can only be delighted to multiply the deployment of our APIBOX to support the excellence of flight training, improve the efficiency of teaching, to strengthen the skills of pilots throughout their flights and to optimize aircraft maintenance, all in the service of safety.
Our small orange box associated with its debriefing software guarantees flight schools a definite differentiation asset. The feedback we receive every day proves it.
So, at the end of the winter, which generally marks the resumption of flights, I can only wish you all very nice and safe flights!
Happy reading and fly safe!
