Geosky Airlines — The First Georgian Airline to Implement Evidence-Based Training (EBT) in Flight Operations

Geosky Airlines continues to enhance its operational and safety standards, taking a significant step forward in this direction. The airline has become the first in Georgia to initiate the implementation of Evidence-Based Training (EBT) in flight operations—a modern, data-driven pilot training system. This approach is supported across the international aviation industry by leading organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

EBT represents a fundamental shift from traditional training methodologies. Whereas pilot training was previously based primarily on standardized scenarios and checking-based approaches, the new model focuses on pilot competency development, individual progression, and effective performance in real operational environments.

The system is built upon the analysis of operational data collected across the aviation industry, including incidents, operational errors, and challenges identified during flight operations. This methodology ensures that pilot training is highly realistic, relevant, and targeted, directly contributing to enhanced flight safety.

According to Geosky Airlines:
“Safety is our highest priority. The implementation of Evidence-Based Training marks a significant milestone fully aligned with the demands of modern aviation. This system enables us to base pilot training on real operational data and practical experience, ultimately ensuring even higher safety standards. We are proud to be the first Georgian airline to introduce this system. Safety improvement is achieved not through one-time initiatives, but through continuous and systematic development, reaffirming Geosky’s commitment to the highest standards of operational excellence.”

EBT places particular emphasis on the human factor, widely recognized as one of the most critical challenges in aviation. Decision-making, stress management, effective communication, and situational awareness are key competencies that are specifically developed within this training framework. This approach enables pilots to respond effectively and make sound decisions in dynamic and complex operational environments.

Evidence-Based Training is regarded as one of the most significant advancements in modern aviation, integrating data-driven analysis, human factors management, and practical operational experience into a unified system. The implementation of this approach by Geosky Airlines further reinforces the company’s commitment to the highest safety standards and positions it as a progressive airline fully aligned with international best practices.
