WATS 2010 Orlando

Flight Standards and Training April 27-29, 2010

JetBlue History

• Began Operations in 2000 • Operating Domestically and Internationally throughout the Americas and the Caribbean • Began E190 operations November 2005 − 7 aircraft without HGS because of certification timing • Every pilot, instructor and check airman certified in dual HGS equipped full motion simulators • April, 2010 – 151 total aircraft, 41 E190s all dual HGS equipped

Philosophy

• Traditional Philosophy − Single HGS device − − Only on Captains side Only used during low visibility operations • JetBlue’s Philosophy − Dual HGS devices − Used for all ground and flight phases

Philosophy

• Why dual HGS?

− Experience with devices in a 121 environment − − − Experience with the tools Keeps pilot more “in the loop” to fly an aircraft Cost savings over traditional autopilot systems

Training for Dual HGS

• Philosophy − Primary Instrument with Specialized Training − − Integrated into Systems Training; Videos Supported in all Briefs (FTD / FFS) • Equipment − All FTDs and FFS are equipped with Dual HGS* − FFS has repeater at the Instructor station

Pilot Adaptation

• Positive Feedback − Most have no prior HGS experience but feel very comfortable with device before the end of their training − − − Valuable tool for all phases of flight Valuable tool for non-normal events – Windshear, Engine Failure, Collision Avoidance, Terrain Avoidance, Low Energy State, Upset Recovery Not one safety report in four years of operation attributed to its use

Training for Dual HGS

• Amount of Training for Non-HGS experienced Pilots − Learning style-based approach (4 phases of proficiency) − Multiple media types to allow each learning style to assimilate functions • Lessons Learned − Essential to have exposure to HGS during initial simulator training − Emphasize ways to provide greatest benefits − Identify differences from other displays • Our Recipe for Success − AQP-like focus on Integrated training in every aspect for Dual HGS − As many touch points as possible − Learning style-based approach for every student

What’s Next?

• Low Visibility Operations − LVTO (300 RVR) − − − CAT IIIB approaches (600 RVR) Hand Flown (Currently CAT II) FAA extremely happy Crew Buy-In
