GROUND TRAINING


Technically, training started prior to my arrival at Sesto Calende. Once registered for a course of training, students receive login credentials to the Leonardo Training Portal where manuals and training modules may be completed in advance. This work generally takes 10 -12 hours.


For the first two weeks, the classroom segments flew by as my classmates and I were pushed to our limits to absorb materials on dozens of subjects including autopilots, engines, hydraulics, drivetrain, navigation, display systems, and yes . . . the dreaded electrical system. I am not exaggerating when I say that this was one of most challenging ground training courses I have received in my 27-year career, which brings me to my first training tip.


Training Tip #1:


Don’t wait until later in the ground training to cram-study before the big test. Set aside a minimum of two hours every evening after class to transfer the day’s notes to some form of organized study guide, then study it. My personal technique was to turn my written notes into sample test questions and type them into a Word document each evening.


Every morning at the beginning of class Paolo would ask, “Are there any questions from yesterday?” After all of our questions were answered, the fun would begin as Paolo would announce in his Italian accent, “OK, now I have some questions for you.” He would then proceed to call each pilot out by name and request that we explain a system or a concept from the previous day.


The only breaks we got from the classroom during ground school were a couple visits to the maintenance training hangar and an introduction to the Virtual Interactive Procedures Trainer (VIPT), both of which are amazing training tools.


Leonardo classrooms provide a variety of training aids to its customers during courses of instruction.
