The AACT Concept
Airbus has updated its Maintenance Training, using a new concept, which delivers
two major objectives, to focus on active and operationally orientated training
AACT has been applied:
First to the A320 family training program in 2005
Then to the A330 and A340 families training programs in 2006
Finally will be applied to the A380 training program in 2007

AACT concept
Two major objectives
Active learning
Active participation of the trainee throughout the course
Use of interactive simulation tools
Mix of theory and practice allowing a better understanding of aircraft systems
Operationally oriented training
Servicing, BITE (Built In Test Equipment) tests, and troubleshooting maintenance tasks conducted by the trainee through realistic operational scenarios
Tasks fully performed on simulation tools reproducing the whole aircraft (inside and outside)
Practical sessions performed by using the real electronic aircraft documentation

Memory and learning
95% of what we teach
10% of what we read

50% of what we see & hear
30% of what we see
“Conventional” learning
70% of what we discuss
80% of what we experience

Changing Attitudes to Improve Safety
To improve the practical training
in order to…
reduce the risk, during training, of…
enhance the realism of the troubleshooting exercises

Why HTML ?
Videos and pictures integrated
Advantages :
•Only one screen needed
•Lighter format
•Full courseware on only one DVD (instead of 1 CD + 3DVDs before)

The Virtual aircraft
It simulates the whole aircraft on a PC screen allowing - when
linked to the M/FTD - the performance of maintenance tasks in
all their steps:
Post-Flight Report consultation, fault isolation, removal and installation of the faulty
component, BITE tests in the cockpit

Conclusion
By implementing AACT we have…
Adapted the training to new aircraft technologies and maintenance practices
Implemented pedagogical methodologies other than “conventional ones”
Improved the practical training
More effective training
Safer training environment and aircraft operation
Better aircraft dispatch reliability
