Open Aviation Solutions

Currently building…

Reusable learning components

Free interactive web components that instructors can utilise, enabling learners to play with new ideas in theory training and at home. Licensed to be free forever.

Open briefing training materials

Starting with Australian RPL briefing presentations that are also licensed to be free forever, improvable by you, usable (and adaptable) by anyone. Improvements flow back to the community improving learning for all.

Open software libraries

Similarly licensed software libraries for building aviation tooling for logbooks or simplifying the administration of competency-based training and assessment. Think of these as free building blocks that make it cheaper to write custom software solutions.

Documenting affordable VR simulator setups

Helping Australian flight training organisations adopt consumer-grade VR flight simulator rigs as affordable practice tools — affordable enough for students to begin building their own and learning how they can enjoy life-long scenario-based training at home.

Who can benefit from these resources?

Everyone from Australian Part 141/142 flight training organisations through to pilot instructors, pilots training to become instructors or (eventually) software engineers working on aviation-related projects. Anyone who can benefit from using open, transparent and improvable training and development resources. Read more about how instructors, organisations and self-directed learners can benefit.

Why are you creating these resources?

We all want to maximise our learning so that we can be safer pilots spending more time doing what we love, but we can also help each other be better instructors helping other pilots to be safer pilots spending more time doing what they love.

I love both flying planes and creating software solutions - this project is a way for me to combine those two. Read more about Open Aviation Solutions for more information.
