Riga — Reaching the final milestone of core instructor training is a monumental achievement for any airline rolling out Evidence-Based Training. We are immensely proud to announce that airBaltic has officially completed their final EBT Train-the-Trainer core course with Empower.aero.

Over successive phases of intensive training, collaboration, and standardisation, airBaltic’s instructor corps has thoroughly mastered the intricate competencies required under modern EBT frameworks. By successfully passing through this core educational pipeline, the airline has ensured that their simulator evaluation team is fully aligned, calibrated, and ready to deliver world-class instruction.

Building an Unshakable Foundation of Standardisation

The successful completion of this final core course marks the culmination of an intensive partnership designed to establish total grading concordance across airBaltic's expanding network. Utilizing our proprietary CBTA Unity™ architecture, the instructors focused heavily on:

  • Root-Cause Analysis Mastery: Transitioning evaluators away from subjective grading toward objective, behavioral assessment.
  • Advanced Debriefing Techniques: Utilizing Threat and Error Management (TEM) to guide trainees toward effective self-discovery.
  • Complete Evaluator Calibration: Establishing strict concordance metrics to eliminate grading drift across all simulator sessions.

The dedication, professionalism, and enthusiasm demonstrated by the airBaltic training team throughout this multi-stage journey have been exemplary.

"Completing the final core training course is a massive achievement. airBaltic has built a self-sustaining foundation of standardisation that will serve as a safety benchmark for years to come."

We congratulate all participating instructors on this fantastic milestone and look forward to continuing our close partnership with airBaltic as their EBT program continues to flourish.
