THE CHALLENGE
Learning That Doesn't Stick
Traditional aviation education is episodic. A checkride happens. A pilot passes. And then... nothing. No systematic measurement. No continuous feedback. Skill atrophy begins immediately with no objective way to detect it until the next checkride—or worse, an accident.
Assessments are subjective, sporadic, and assumption-based. We assume pilots remember what they learned. We assume skills don't decay. We assume one snapshot in time represents ongoing proficiency. None of these assumptions hold up to scrutiny.
