Several training approaches have been taken by airlines. Line Oriented Flight Training (LOFT) is well suited for experienced pilots which blends scenarios into the program representing every-day activities. Well-written programs blend emergency situations with normal activity.

Normal, Abnormal, and Emergency training is well suited for pilots in programs with certain hours of specific topics.

Acceptable outcomes in some circumstances may have tragic results in others. Cumulative experience and knowledge has to be well managed which, is what the traveling passengers have come to expect.

Professional Pilots differentiate themselves by following proven procedures for a consistently safe outcome on every flight. They take their training seriously and are eager to learn more. There seldom is one correct answer for a given question or concern.

The study of Human Factors over the last 5 decades has revealed many issues that had to be overcome to improve safety. Knowledge of these areas can greatly increase a pilot's ability to avoid forseeable consequences to various actions.
