In aviation, a significant amount of knowledge accumulates every day. Pilots and cabin crew must continuously maintain up-to-date knowledge of procedures, safety guidelines, and operational updates. To support this between annual training sessions, Corendon Dutch Airlines works with Drillster and its modern approach to knowledge retention: adaptive learning.

Staying continuously up to standard in a dynamic environment

The aviation sector is constantly evolving. Regulations change, new protocols are introduced, and operational procedures are refined. Traditional training models, such as annual recurrent training alone and static e-learning, offer less assurance that knowledge and competences are retained between training moments.

Together with Drillster, Corendon Dutch Airlines sought a solution that helps crew members continuously maintain their knowledge, with minimal study load and maximum effectiveness. That solution was found in Drillster's adaptive learning platform.

Adaptive learning: targeted practice where it really matters

Corendon Dutch Airlines uses Drillster to keep crucial topics for pilots and cabin crew fully up to date, including:

• Initial and recurrent training content

• Safety and emergency procedures

• First aid and medical knowledge

Drillster automatically adapts to the knowledge level of each individual. Topics that have not yet been mastered well appear more frequently, while content that is already well retained appears less often. The app also predicts when someone is likely to forget certain knowledge and sends a reminder at the right moment to practice again.

With Drillster, we have found a way not only to train knowledge, but to truly retain it. Our pilots and cabin crew can maintain specific safety topics in short, focused moments, exactly when it is needed. This gives us as an organization continuous insight and confidence that critical knowledge remains at the desired level.

Always prepared for the unexpected

Thanks to Drillster's personalized learning approach, crew knowledge demonstrably remains at the required level throughout the year. This not only results in better retention, but also a lower study load: small, focused micro-sessions replace long periods of study.

For training teams, this also means that knowledge gaps become visible before they can turn into an operational risk. Managers gain real-time insight into both team and individual knowledge levels, allowing them to intervene proactively when needed.

Better compliance, insight, and consistency

For the training teams at Corendon Dutch Airlines, Drillster offers concrete additional benefits:

• Insight into the knowledge levels of teams and individuals

• Demonstrable safeguarding of critical knowledge and competences

• Immediate distribution of updates to the entire crew

• Consistency in how information is learned and applied across the organization

When operational updates need to be distributed, whether regulatory changes, new procedures, or safety bulletins, Drillster enables rapid deployment across the entire crew. This agility is crucial in an industry where procedures can change quickly.

The technology supports a culture of continuous learning that aligns well with the high safety standards in aviation.

Suitable for busy operational schedules

Pilots and cabin crew travel frequently. Drillster fits seamlessly into that rhythm: the app works on smartphones, tablets, and laptops, allowing crew members to practice anywhere and at any time.

Drillster's micro-learning format makes it possible to maintain knowledge in just a few minutes, without disrupting operational processes or schedules. Training fits around crew rosters, not the other way around.

A modern approach to knowledge retention in aviation

The collaboration between Corendon Dutch Airlines and Drillster demonstrates how adaptive technology can play a key role in safeguarding critical knowledge and competences within complex, safety-sensitive sectors. Drillster contributes to reliability, safety, and operational quality.

With Drillster, Corendon Dutch Airlines has a reliable, future-proof way to keep knowledge up to date, providing a strong foundation for safe and efficient flights.
