DATAPP D-3.3.1 Standardised metrics and methods for instructor concordance assurance

Sep 17, 2026

Uploaded by Dipper

Digitalisation is transforming aviation operations, requiring updated safety standards and regulations while still enabling innovation. This deliverable supports EASA’s Horizon Europe DATAPP work by developing guidelines and training materials to improve instructor concordance. It establishes best practices for standardized metrics and methods to assess agreement and alignment, defines a mechanism to track concordance over time, and addresses over- or under-grading mitigation. Data protection guidance is included for training organisations handling training-related data.

Briguglio-CAAi CAAi Andrada Bujor-ALG ALG Alex Olivera-ALG Francisco Arenas EASA SPT 0012 Task Force DATE:31 July 2024 SUMMARY Problem area Digitalisation is reshaping the aviation business at quick pace, bringing efficiency and wider opportunities to manage information. The deployment of digital solutions throughout the air transport industry is a fact and brings significant changes to the traditional working processes, business models, standards and regulations. EASA faces new challenges on what the required changes in safety standards and regulations are needed in response to the introduction of innovative solutions and processes. Anticipating what is to come in the industry in the field of data science applications is key to make sure safety levels are maintained without slowing innovation down. The objective of this project is to identify and assess relevant changes to the existing aviation safety standards to support the deployment of the digital solutions under three case studies: • Case Study 3: Flight training data for EBT/CBTA (Evidence-Based Training / Competence-Based Training and Assessment) • Case Study 4: Digital fuel management • Case Study 5: Flight data models for safety The project aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of benefits, constraints, standardisation and deployment issues, including the recommendations for adjusting safety regulations and related standards, and how new digital technologies could contribute to addressing the identified issues. Description of work The present document relates to ‘D-3.3 Training Materials, part of the EASA.2022. HVP.01- Horizon Europe Project. The aim is to provide guidelines promoting best practices for the management of pilot grading data with the objective of improving instructor concordance. The focus of this report is: 1. Best-practice for standardised metri

FAQs

What is the main objective of this DATAPP deliverable?

To identify and assess changes to existing aviation safety standards to support deployment of digital solutions, with training materials focused on improving instructor concordance.

Which case studies are referenced in the project overview?

Case Study 3 covers flight training data for EBT/CBTA, Case Study 4 covers digital fuel management, and Case Study 5 covers flight data models for safety.

How does the deliverable address instructor concordance over time?

It defines a mechanism to assess the evolution of concordance over time and to prevent or mitigate over- or under-grading.
