The Future of eVTOL Training: Are Pilots Ready for Autonomy? Anna Golendukhina

Описание: Advanced Air Mobility is moving on from "concept" to pilot training.

In 2026, the industry is entering its "brutal maturity phase" where safety and training take center stage. Join host Nicolas Zart for a technical deep dive with Embry-Riddle researcher Anna Golendukhina into the cognitive engineering of eVTOL flight.

In this video, we explore:
Transitioning from Analog to Digital: How the next generation of "Systems Managers" will replace traditional "Hands-on" pilots.
The Truth About Pilot Confidence: Anna's study reveals that across all certification levels, there is a sober, shared understanding that eVTOL operations are an "unfamiliar territory".
Cognitive Load & Safety: Why Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) are the biggest proponents of automation to improve safety margins during complex missions.

Anna oversees flight instructor qualifications at Flight Safety International and continues her work on human factors with Dr. Andrew Dattel at the SEARCH Lab.
