Survey of European Training Leaders: AI Interest Centres on EBT and CBTA Assessment, but Few Projects Have Named Sponsors

Amris Aviation, working with Halldale Group, has published a European edition report on how artificial intelligence is being applied in aviation training. It draws on 85 responses, most gathered at the European Airline Training Symposium, and launches at EATS 2026 in Cascais on 3-5 November. According to the publicly visible teaser, 44% of AI initiatives aim at competency assessment and performance analytics within Evidence-Based Training and Competency-Based Training and Assessment programmes. Quality rather than cost is the main driver: 84% of respondents want training gaps detected earlier, while 32% cite cost reduction. The report sets out six initiative archetypes, from a 'Course Builder' to a 'Simulator Sensor', and ties each to a governance question. It flags a gap between intent and accountability: 89% of respondents plan to build in human override, but only 49% have a named business sponsor and 39% a named technology sponsor. An action framework and risk register are aimed at heads of training and vice presidents of training and operations. Only a teaser is public; the full report is free to training professionals after registration, and the publisher values it at EUR 1,300.
