Chunking: The Key to Smarter, More Effective Pilot Training
What happens between traditional long form classroom training sessions and 1-on-1 time with an instructor? For most aviation students, the gap between these two types of training is where things start to slip. That’s where UpskillAir’s MBytes platform comes in—bridging the gap by delivering training in short, focused videos that work with your brain’s natural learning process.
Our approach is unique. By leveraging “chunking”,
a proven neuroscience based learning strategy, MBytes break down complex aviation tasks
into small, digestible parts that learners can access exactly when they need them.
It’s not just another training tool—it’s the missing piece to help
students and professionals retain and apply critical skills.
Chunking is simple but powerful. Instead of overwhelming
learners with large blocks of information, it divides complex concepts into manageable
segments. Here’s how it works in aviation training:
- Focus Where It Matters Most: Instead of revisiting an entire training session, MBytes let students watch only the exact part they need—like how to perform a pre-flight systems check or execute a specific maneuver. This precision saves time and reinforces what matters most in the moment.
- Repetition Made Easy: Chunking works best when combined with repetition, and that’s where MBytes shine. Need to see a cockpit view when doing startup procedures again? No problem. Replay the video as many times as needed, building recall and confidence with each view.
- Bridge the Gap: Classroom training and instructor-led sessions are invaluable, but they can’t be everywhere, all the time. MBytes fill this gap, allowing learners to take control of their progress outside of scheduled lessons.
- Learn on Your Terms: With videos that are 1-2 minutes long, MBytes fit into even the busiest schedules. Whether you’re at home, in the hangar, or reviewing on the tarmac, you can access just the right content when you need it, meaning that “Chair flying” has never been so effective.
UpskillAir’s MBytes aren’t just videos—they’re tools designed to enhance how pilots and technicians learn and retain critical skills. By focusing on what learners need in the moment and delivering it in manageable, repeatable chunks, MBytes ensures that training doesn’t just happen—it sticks.
