Competency-Based Training
Training for the pilots of tomorrow
Modern aviation training is no longer measured by hours flown alone. Today's regulators, training organisations, and airlines expect evidence that pilots have developed the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to operate safely in increasingly complex environments.
OY Wings brings Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) into the heart of your training operation. Built around the EASA Area 100 framework, our platform enables instructors to assess real competence throughout a student's journey - creating a living record of progress that is measurable, transparent, and fully auditable.
Beyond Hours. Measuring Competence.
Traditional training answers the question "Has the student completed the exercise?"
CBTA asks a far more valuable question:
"Can the student consistently demonstrate competence?"
Rather than recording a single lesson result, instructors assess individual learning objectives and competencies throughout each course. Every assessment contributes to a complete picture of the student's development over time, making strengths, weaknesses, and improvement immediately visible.
Built Around EASA Area 100
OY Wings includes full support for the EASA Area 100 Knowledge, Skills & Attitude (KSA) framework.
Import the official competency framework with a single click, or customise it to suit your own syllabus and training philosophy.
Competencies and observable behaviours are attached directly to lesson plans, allowing instructors to assess only those objectives relevant to each lesson while maintaining complete coverage throughout the course.
Whether you're delivering CPL, ATPL, MCC or a bespoke company programme, the system adapts to your operation - not the other way around.
Intelligent Competency Assessment
The platform actively assists instructors throughout the assessment process.
Rather than expecting instructors to remember every competency that should be reviewed, OY Wings intelligently suggests objectives based on:
- Competencies never previously assessed
- Areas where students have historically scored lower
- Objectives not reviewed for the longest period
- Minimum competency requirements defined by your organisation
This ensures balanced assessment across an entire course while reducing instructor workload.
Rich Student Progress
Every competency assessment contributes to an interactive report card that provides a complete history of a student's development.
Drill down from competency domains into individual learning objectives, review historical scores, identify trends, and quickly recognise whether a student is improving, plateauing, or requires additional support.
Because competency is aggregated across every KSA-enabled course, instructors always have the full picture—not just the latest lesson.
Compliance Without Compromise
Every assessment is permanently timestamped, version controlled, and linked to the competency framework that existed when it was recorded.
If your organisation updates its syllabus or competency definitions, historical assessments remain untouched, providing a complete audit trail and ensuring compliance with EASA expectations.
Role-based permissions and configurable grading scales allow the platform to integrate seamlessly into your approved training system.
Improve More Than Students
Competency data doesn't just improve pilots - it improves courses.
School-wide analytics identify learning objectives that consistently receive poor scores across entire cohorts, helping you identify weaknesses in your training programme before they become operational problems.
By transforming assessment data into actionable insight, OY Wings helps training organisations continuously refine both students and syllabi.
Built for Modern Flight Training
CBTA isn't simply another feature - it's the future of aviation training.
OY Wings provides the tools to deliver modern competency-based education while reducing instructor workload, improving consistency, and giving regulators the evidence they increasingly expect.
