First Global Regulator To Implement Competency-Based Training
The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has become the first global aviation regulator to adopt Boeing’s Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) Learning Library across its national flight training ecosystem. The initiative, announced during the Asia Pacific Aviation Training Summit 2026, aims to modernize pilot training standards in Thailand and prepare cadets for the demands of modern airline operations. Boeing forecasts a need for 66,000 new pilots across Southeast Asia over the next 20 years, driven by fleet expansion and rising air travel demand. The collaboration was first reported by AeroTime.
