Advanced Aircrew Academy (Booth 5027) is announcing five new eLearning modules to its web-based training library here at NBAA’s annual convention. The company offers both classroom and online recurrent, upgrade and proficiency coursework. Among the new modules are Continuous Descent Final Approach (CDFA), Required Navigation Performance (RNP), Runway Analysis, Convergent Performance on Automation Airmanship and Flight Discipline.

The Charleston, S.C.-based flight education provider has also published an upgraded version of its Winter Operations/Surface Contamination eLearning module, which is designed to meet the IS-BAO Aircraft Surface Contamination training requirement. “There have been extensive changes in FAA guidance for cold weather operations this year,” said Jim Weaver, Advanced Aircrew Academy’s director of instructional design, “most importantly: the Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA); Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC); [and] Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM) braking action codes and definitions.”

Additional updates to the module include a summary of the changes to the 2016-2017 holdover timetables and the cold temperature-restricted airports.
