Research on the Training System for Chinese Civil Aviation Flight Dispatchers under the CBTA Concept: Current Challenges and Transformation Pathways

Abstract

The paper examines the current state of flight dispatcher training in China's civil aviation industry, analyzing existing issues based on the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) framework. The key problems identified include: the lack of systematic adoption and promotion of CBTA-based training concepts, insufficient and uneven distribution of qualified instructors, monotonous training content and methods, scarce and unevenly allocated training resources, and an inadequate training effectiveness evaluation mechanism.By drawing on successful domestic and international flight dispatcher training models, the study proposes optimization strategies for China's civil aviation flight dispatcher training system. These include:Establishing a CBTA-guided flight dispatcher training framework;Implementing comprehensive training programs covering the entire flight operation process;Conducting integrated air-ground joint training for flight dispatchers and pilots;Developing flight dispatcher training from an international perspective.
