Evidence Based Training (EBT)
HeliTrax
HeliTrax gives operators immediate reporting benefits while preparing them for future UK CAA and EASA change
HeliSpeed has developed a practical online solution that allows helicopter operators to start preparing for Evidence-Based Training (EBT) now.
EBT is already delivering significant benefits across fixed-wing aviation by replacing repetitive, event-based checking with training focused on operational evidence, risk and pilot competency.
HeliSpeed believes helicopter operators should not wait for the UK CAA and EASA to complete their future helicopter EBT frameworks before taking action.
HeliTrax connects operational evidence, competency assessment, targeted training, instructor feedback and re-assessment in one continuous process.
Available online 24/7, the system can be tailored to an operator’s aircraft, risks, competencies and training programme. It can support offshore, HEMS, Search and Rescue, IFR commercial air transport, firefighting and specialist helicopter operations.
Immediate Benefits, Starting Today
Operators can introduce HeliTrax now while continuing to meet all existing OPC, LPC and recurrent training requirements.
The system replaces disconnected spreadsheets, paper records and isolated reports with one consistent process. It allows operators to:
- Identify pilot and fleet-wide competency trends
- Detect recurring weaknesses and operational risks
- Track additional training through to successful re-assessment
- Improve instructor standardisation
- Reduce paperwork and administration
- Produce clear evidence for management and regulatory oversight
- Confirm whether training has achieved the intended result
HeliTrax turns information into decisions, rather than stored data.
Get Ahead of Regulatory Change
When helicopter EBT frameworks are introduced, operators are expected to retain the choice of adopting EBT or remaining with traditional fixed-interval checking.
Those remaining with the traditional system will not gain the full benefits of targeted training, continuous competency monitoring and better use of operational evidence.
They could also miss potential savings in simulator and aircraft time, pilot travel, accommodation, examiner costs, crew disruption and time away from operational duties.
Operators introducing HeliTrax now can gain immediate reporting and oversight benefits while building the evidence, instructor standardisation and experience needed for future UK CAA or EASA approval.
Geoff Packer, CEO of HeliSpeed, said:
“EBT is already working in fixed-wing aviation. The helicopter industry should not wait until the regulations change before beginning to prepare.
“HeliTrax delivers immediate reporting, oversight and training benefits today. When an approved helicopter EBT route becomes available, operators already using the system will be ready and ahead of the game.
“If the benefits can start now, why wait?”
