[TEWKSBURY, 2/26/2018] - CAST, a global navigation simulation systems developer, nurtures lasting partnerships by providing training and tech support to clients. The company also offers additional system options and hardware and software upgrades to keep clients updated on the latest navigation technologies.

A Focus on Pilots

Software development and aircraft innovations are at the forefront of aviation, but the bigger challenge today is filling the demand for knowledgeable and competent pilots.

Commercial airlines around the world acknowledge the current shortage of pilots. Danny Perna, the founder of Florida’s Epic Flight Academy, disclosed that the school had difficulty finding US-trained pilots who could serve as flight instructors. The academy has awarded five-figure signing bonuses and partially funded training programs for pilot cadets who need to fulfill teaching hours to qualify for an airline position.

Industry forecasts include a shortage of 255,000 commercial airline pilots by 2027. As a result, carriers launched variations of airline-sponsored training programs to share the burden of cost (one reason of low enrollment)and encourage more people to study to become pilots.

But more than increasing the number of aviation students, aviation schools and airline-run training programs need to produce competent and highly skilled pilots to fill vacant positions quickly. Innovations in training programs, specifically in simulations, are paving the way for efficient and effective pilot training.

GNSS Simulations Enhances Pilot Learning

CAST, a respected developer of aviation simulation systems, offers a complete package of custom hardware, training, maintenance and repair support, and tech upgrades. For years, the company has been seeing to the simulation systems needs of commercial and military clients.

With its engineers focused on developing remote simulations for global navigation satellite and inertial navigation systems, CAST technology has become valuable in training pilots and enhancing their capabilities. CAST maintains long-standing relationships with its clients and aims to continue doing so.

By providing modern navigation simulation technology, CAST helps carriers and militaries fulfill their long-term goals, not just for hardware development but also for personnel skills enhancement.
