SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATICALLY SCHEDULING AIRCRAFT PILOT TRAINING RESOURCES
A system and a method include a resource scheduling control unit configured to receive inputs including information regarding pilots and pilot training resources, generate schedules for the pilots based on the inputs, and output the schedules to one or more user interfaces.
1 . A system comprising:
a resource scheduling control unit configured to:
receive inputs including information regarding pilots and pilot training resources,
generate schedules for the pilots based on the inputs, and
output the schedules to one or more user interfaces.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the pilot training resources comprise one or more of:
full flight simulators;
procedural trainers;
flight training devices; or
classrooms.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the pilot training resources comprise:
full flight simulators;
procedural trainers;
flight training devices; and
classrooms.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the inputs comprise resource data including information regarding availability and capacity for the pilot training resources.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the inputs comprise times and dates when the pilots are not available for scheduling.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the inputs comprise information regarding training already complete, and training that still needs to be completed for the pilots.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the inputs comprise information as to individual pilots who can, or cannot, train together in relation to one or more of pilot training resources.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the inputs comprise labor rules.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the inputs comprise quality rules.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the inputs comprise usage costs.
11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the inputs comprise travel costs.
12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the inputs comprise qualification and availability for instructors for one or more of the pilot training resources.
13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the inputs comprise:
resource data including information regarding availability and capacity for the pilot training resources;
times and dates when the pilots are not available for scheduling;
information regarding training already complete, and training that still needs to be completed for the pilots;
information as to individual pilots who can, or cannot, train together in relation to one or more of pilot training resources;
labor rules;
quality rules;
usage costs;
travel costs; and
qualification and availability for instructors for one or more of the pilot training resources.
14 . A method comprising:
receiving, by a resource scheduling control unit, inputs including information regarding pilots and pilot training resources;
generating, by the resource scheduling control unit, schedules for the pilots based on the inputs; and
outputting, by the resource scheduling control unit, the schedules to one or more user interfaces.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the pilot training resources comprise one or more of:
full flight simulators;
procedural trainers;
flight training devices; or
classrooms.
16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the pilot training resources comprise:
full flight simulators;
procedural trainers;
flight training devices; and
classrooms.
17 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the inputs comprise one or more of:
resource data including information regarding availability and capacity for the pilot training resources;
times and dates when the pilots are not available for scheduling;
information regarding training already complete, and training that still needs to be completed for the pilots;
information as to individual pilots who can, or cannot, train together in relation to one or more of pilot training resources;
labor rules;
quality rules;
usage costs;
travel costs; or
qualification and availability for instructors for one or more of the pilot training resources.
18 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the inputs comprise:
resource data including information regarding availability and capacity for the pilot training resources;
times and dates when the pilots are not available for scheduling;
information regarding training already complete, and training that still needs to be completed for the pilots;
information as to individual pilots who can, or cannot, train together in relation to one or more of pilot training resources;
labor rules;
quality rules;
usage costs;
travel costs; and
qualification and availability for instructors for one or more of the pilot training resources.
19 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause one or more control units comprising a processor, to perform operations comprising:
receiving inputs including information regarding pilots and pilot training resources;
generating schedules for the pilots based on the inputs; and
outputting the schedules to one or more user interfaces.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the pilot training resources comprise full flight simulators, procedural trainers, flight training devices, and classrooms, and wherein the inputs comprise resource data including information regarding availability and capacity for the pilot training resources, times and dates when the pilots are not available for scheduling, information regarding training already complete, and training that still needs to be completed for the pilots, information as to individual pilots who can, or cannot, train together in relation to one or more of pilot training resources, labor rules, quality rules, usage costs, travel costs, and qualification and availability for instructors for one or more of the pilot training resources.
