How it adapts
Every lesson changes to fit the person taking it.
Everyone has to learn the same thing and pass the same standard. What changes is how each person gets there.
Same lesson, three different people.
All three need to know when to stop an aircraft that’s moving, and how to signal it. Here’s how it teaches each of them.
Maya
New to the ramp
She learns best from pictures, so it shows her the wingtip’s path first, then gives her a real situation.
James
Twelve years on the ramp
He already knows the basics, so it skips them and puts him in a hard situation at night.
Ana
Learns best in Spanish
She learns in Spanish, but the words she uses on the radio, like wingwalker and pushback, stay in English.
How it decides what to do next.
It teaches before it asks.
Nobody gets asked about something they haven’t been taught yet.
If they get it wrong, it explains it another way.
Then it asks again with a different question, to make sure it stuck.
If they already know it, they can skip it.
Experienced people can test out, but they have to pass the same standard as everyone else.
One right answer isn’t enough.
They have to get several questions right on each topic, including a real situation from the job.
In their own language, read out loud.
It works in more than 50 languages, and a voice reads each lesson to them. The English words people use on the radio stay in English.
See it for yourself.
Take the five-minute lesson once as a beginner and once as someone who knows it, and see how it changes.
