Riga — Achieving regulatory approval as a national pioneer is a testament to extraordinary dedication and forward-thinking leadership. We are thrilled to celebrate our partner airBaltic on officially securing approval for Mixed Evidence-Based Training (EBT)—making them the very first operator in Latvia to reach this prestigious milestone.

Transitioning an airline training department to a data-driven competency framework requires absolute precision, strict instructor standardisation, and seamless collaboration with the civil aviation authority. Working hand-in-hand with airBaltic, our advisory team helped architect a robust program built upon the CBTA Unity™ framework, guiding them smoothly through regulatory evaluation.

Pioneering Next-Gen Training Standards in the Baltics

Achieving Latvia's first Mixed EBT approval means airBaltic can now transition their simulator training away from rigid, one-size-fits-all checking regimes and toward addressing real operational risk profiles using empirical evidence.

This landmark achievement was built on a foundation of rigorous internal preparation:

  • Advanced Train-the-Trainer Courses: Equipping airBaltic's instructor community with deep root-cause analysis and TEM-based debriefing methodologies.
  • Instructor Concordance: Establishing robust calibration protocols to ensure every evaluator scores performance through an identical lens.
  • Audit-Proof Documentation: Crafting comprehensive operational manuals and oversight frameworks that met the highest regulatory standards.

The commitment shown by the airBaltic training management team throughout this journey has been nothing short of exemplary.

"Becoming the first operator in Latvia to achieve Mixed EBT approval proves that airBaltic is a true regional leader in flight safety and training innovation. We are immensely proud to have supported their journey."

Congratulations to the entire airBaltic training department on this historic milestone. We look forward to continuing our close partnership as they chart the course for future training excellence.
