A strong foundation - Ready for the next step
Simple Aviation Solutions operates SIMPLE AVIATION TRAINING (E-ATO-328), delivering Type Rating and Instructor (TRI/SFI) training for commercial pilots across Airbus and Boeing fleets.
Instructional quality has always been a priority. But as CBTA requirements from ICAO and EASA continue to evolve, the team recognised that high standards in the simulator needed to be matched by equally high standards in how training was measured, documented, and tracked.
They were ready to move beyond paper.
Challenge - When paper no longer keeps pace
The training itself was strong. The processes behind it were not built for the future.
Paper-based documentation and manual tracking made it difficult to gain a complete, structured overview of trainee progress. Competencies were assessed, but not always in a way that generated clear, usable data across sessions and programmes.
As expectations around Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) increased, several limitations became clear:
Traceability across sessions required manual effort
Documentation for audits was time-consuming to compile
Structured competency data was difficult to extract
Real-time visibility for operators and stakeholders was limited
The organisation needed more than digitised paperwork. It needed a system designed for measurable, data-driven training oversight.
Building a fully digital ATO
Simple Aviation Training implemented FlightLogger as its fully integrated training management platform, transitioning from paper-based workflows to a completely digital ATO environment.
The transformation was completed in record time.
Trainee records, session documentation, and competency assessments were digitalised and structured according to ICAO and EASA CBTA principles. Assessments moved from subjective impressions to evidence-based workflows, supported by real-time progress tracking.
The system was deployed across both Type Rating programmes and Instructor (TRI/SFI) training, ensuring consistency across all pathways.
Instead of managing documentation, the team could now focus on managing performance.
The impact
The shift to a digital ATO created impact across compliance, operations, and stakeholder transparency.
Stronger Traceability and Audit Readiness
Full digital traceability of every trainee, session, and competency
Structured, always up-to-date documentation
Immediate access to data during regulatory audits
Data-Driven Training Oversight
Continuous monitoring of pilot development
Objective, evidence-based assessments
Clear competency mapping aligned with CBTA requirements
Greater Transparency for Operators
Real-time insight into pilot training progression
Clear visibility of strengths and development areas
More efficient training planning, avoiding unnecessary hours
Raising the standard
“In aviation, good instruction is essential. But today, it is no longer enough. The real difference lies in how training is measured, tracked and managed, fully aligned with CBTA principles.”
- David Torrijos Azores, CEO, Simple Aviation Training
For Simple Aviation Training, digitalisation was not about replacing paper. It was about strengthening structure, transparency, and measurable performance - while preparing the organisation for future growth.
By moving to FlightLogger, they strengthened compliance, improved visibility for stakeholders, and built a scalable foundation for future growth.
