In aviation training the arrival of AI tools represent both an opportunity and a challenge. A recent peer reviewed study explores how emerging AI capabilities could be applied across the flight crew training design pipeline, from scenario creation and instructional design to assessment and training evaluation. This article explores the findings and their implications for aviation training, beginning with the potential contributions of AI to training design and delivery, before examining in more detail the practical challenges and risks that training organisations must navigate as these technologies become more widely adopted.

Beyond systems knowledge: trust, automation, and the modern pilot.
Little time is spent discussing the critical role played by the concept of trust in our interactions with automation.

We explore what is meant by trust in this context, and how it determines our reliance, use, misuse, or indeed, disuse of automated systems.
