Swift Jet Academy Discrepancies and Course Distribution

Swift Jet Academy aims to offer comprehensive training for flight crew members, including pilots, technicians, and cabin crew. While the academy strives for excellence, there are a few discrepancies that need to be addressed to ensure the highest standard of education and training. Below are the identified discrepancies along with a detailed course distribution for each group.

Identified Discrepancies

1. **Course Overlaps**: 

   – Some courses for pilots and technicians overlap, leading to scheduling conflicts and reduced availability of instructors. This issue results in inefficiencies in training delivery and can frustrate students who rely on precise scheduling.

2. **Resource Allocation**:

   – There is an unequal distribution of simulators and training aircraft between pilot and technician training programs. More resources are currently allocated for pilots, leaving technicians with limited hands-on opportunities.

3. **Curriculum Updates**:

   – Certain courses have outdated materials that do not reflect current aviation technologies and regulations. This can lead to a knowledge gap, particularly for technicians who need to stay updated on the latest aircraft systems.

4. **Instructor Availability**:

   – A shortage of qualified instructors, particularly for advanced pilot courses, has been noted. This leads to larger class sizes, reducing the effectiveness of personalized instruction.

5. **Cabin Crew Safety Training**:

   – The cabin crew’s safety training modules are shorter than industry standards, potentially compromising the depth of knowledge and preparedness of the crew in emergency situations.
