With the previous implementation the ‘cross-over point’ for the anchor and SCT is at about 40kbps. With the new implementation the SCT is superior to the anchor at all bandwidths. (...) Once again there is a highly significant improvement with the new implementation. The ‘cross-over point’ from February of about 60 kbps is eliminated and the SCT is superior to the anchor throughout the tested bandwidth range.

(...) This paper is a proposal for the implementation of a mechanism that will allow collecting valuable information and making it available to the areas of Design and to other States in order to guarantee the effectiveness of the courses. (...) Background 2.1 ICAO has an important role by guaranteeing that the civil aviation community and, in particular, that States have access to the set of qualified professionals that they need to accomplish a safe, protected and sustainable air transport. 2.2 Initially, with the global implementation of the TRAINAIR programme and its later updating and later adjustment with the TRAINAIR Plus programme, the International Civil Aviation Organization has intervened in a positive manner in the preparation of what would become the next generation of aviation professionals. 2.3 The methodology conception which fundaments the TRAINAIR Plus programme makes course design the result of an investigation of work posts, where necessary knowledge, abilities and skills are identified for a proper work performance, which allows in turn the implementation of a system that allows to measure the impact of training. 2.4 The way the TRAINAIR Plus Programme considers the assessment of the impact of training is limited to the presentation during the preparation phase, of an assessment plan, establishing that the forthcoming stages that belong to management. 2.5 The Academia Superior de Ciencias Aeronáuticas has accumulated great experience in the handling of training through the TRAINAIR methodology since 2009 and subsequently with the TRAINAIR Plus since 2011.
