Training magazine announced that its 2020 annual Conference and Expo is going to have an enhanced focus on trainers in the aviation industry.
The initiative is the result of discussions between executives at Lakewood Media Group, publisher of Training, and producer of the Training Conference, and across the aviation industry, including airlines, corporate flight departments and support companies such as fuel providers.
The Training team consistently heard that trainers at all levels of aviation have so many technological, regulatory and procedural revisions and updates demanding their attention that it’s challenging for them to keep up with the many advances within their core training profession itself.
According to Mike Murrell, president of Lakewood Media Group, leaders in aviation have suggested that their trainers need to maintain proficiency in their profession in such areas as E-learning content development, video productions, data collection and analysis tools, mobile delivery platforms, performance support tools, modern authoring and distribution of instructor/participant guide and simulation (other than flight simulators). Training’s 2020 Conference offers presentations by leaders in these disciplines, plus more that could benefit trainers – and their employers’ bottom lines – in the aviation industry. The conference’s keynote speaker is Jeff Skiles, co-pilot of the “Miracle on the Hudson.”
In addition to a full palette of “train-the-trainer” courses, the Training Conference is offering its single largest registration discount ever ($400) through Jan 31, 2020, to trainers employed full-time at companies in aviation including FAA Part 121 airlines, corporate flight departments, FAA Park 135 air charter providers, maintenance facilities and FBOs. The conference is Feb 24 – 26 at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, Orlando. Complete details and the registration form are available at https://trainingconference.com/2020/registration.cfm Discount code is TAVD and attendees will need to provide proof of aviation-industry employment at the conference check in.
Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
