“…This research, among other issues, indicates that a significant gap has been recognized between the quality of the students' oral and written communication skills gained during their studies (especially in the aeronautical area) and the skills required by the aeronautical industry to perform the tasks safely [70]. Industry and academia do not work together as the communication between them is ineffective and discontinued [71,72]. This indicates that since there is no wide human factors training within the tertiary education curricula, there is a great need for it in newly recruited personnel.…”

Communication and trust are fundamental factors in the operation of complex and highly regulated industries like aviation maintenance. This article reviews two preconditions of human error: communication and trust, as well as the way these are linked as aviation researchers have only recently started to study factors not individually, but rather by combining their effects. Communication is essential in the exchange of information and knowledge in aviation maintenance. The conditions that make communication effective and miscommunication avoidable are explored. Next, ways of communication, like aircraft maintenance documentation, are discussed along with appreciation of how communication is valued in aviation maintenance. Trust within different aspects of maintenance practice (interpersonal trust, trust towards technology, initial levels of trust) is presented and analysed, as well as examined as a prerequisite of effective communication. The characteristics of trust, its forms and results are identified in the literature with limited sources from the aviation bibliography, as it is a domain barely explored. Therefore, a gap has been identified in the study of trust and the exploration of the combined traits of communication and trust in aviation maintenance. Recommendations for additional research in this field are provided.

“…Some states, due to the insufficient level of provision of the aviation sector of the economy with specialists, began to intensify educational activities. As an example, we can cite information from the publication ( Malagas et al., 2017 ), which describes in sufficient detail the directions for the development and improvement of the system for training aviation specialists in Greece. The Republic of Uzbekistan does not remain aloof from these problems, in which organizational measures are being taken to increase the economic efficiency of air transport structures, including the training of aviation specialists.…”

“…In addition, sound evaluation and assessment tools measuring students' competence in flying are equally important. How students perform well during assessment speaks of the quality of training they received from schools (Malagas et al 2017). These assessment tools should particularly evaluate students' essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to the intended program outcomes (Letassy et al 2015).…”

This study aims to validate a scale that evaluates the flying competence of aircraft pilots. The scale was developed by pilots in an aerospace university and was approved by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines. To do so, the scale was administered to 288 pilots holding different levels of licenses. The data obtained were subjected to Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and created a three-factor model. The factors are set of flying skills named as instrument flight (Factor 1), basic attitude flying (Factor 2), and instrument landing system (Factor 3). The model was confirmed utilizing the resulting values of five goodness of fit indices (GFIs) generated by the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Only comparative fit index, Tucker-Lewis index, and Standardized Root Mean Squared Residual resulted to values falling within the thresholds. These three GFIs are already adequate to confirm that the model is relatively good fit. The standardized factor loadings (SFLs) and composite reliability (CR) were also excellent, thus, establishing convergent validity. Also, the estimated average variance extracted and Cronbach's alpha of all factors provided evidence of discriminant validity and reliability, respectively. In conclusion, this scale is valid and reliable to evaluate the pilot's performance in flying an aircraft.
