Our e-learning course on Human Performance is a comprehensive and practical training for pilots. In this course, participants learn in the first part how the atmosphere and external conditions can have an influence (e.g. jet lag, medication or acceleration) on the health (aviation physiology) of pilots, as well as which measures of prevention and intervention can decisively help or prevent. The second part of the course will focus on the psychological conditions of flying. What errors and risks can arise from types of human behavior and what prevention and intervention measures can be taken.

Upon completion of the course, participants will be well equipped to better classify their own physiological as well as psychological health with regard to flying.

The course includes 2 modules created by experienced and qualified flight instructors and additionally controlled by a medical specialist. Each module includes a detailed explanation of the subject matter, followed by practical instructions and exercises to help participants improve their skills.

The digital preparation of the learning content ensures variety and fun. And additional visualization helps the brain to better remember what it has learned.

The content of the e-learning courses is based on the exam topics and questions that are frequently answered incorrectly in the DAeC's question catalog on the Aviationexam platform. The courses were developed by experts in their field together with flight instructors.

The goal of each course is to ensure that content and contexts are understood in order to be able to answer the exam questions correctly.

Coming soon:

• A forum for the exchange with others. Here, questions can also be posed to the tutor, who publishes the answers in the forum.
• Regular webinars which take up questions/topics from learners and are explained and answered by a flight instructor.

The course "Flight Execution Plan - Plan and Execute VFR Flights Safely" (course language: German) is available to every participant free of charge in their learning environment.
