Making mistakes is inevitable. But in aviation, mistakes can have fatal consequences.
Our MAYDAY Active Learning Tools are not just training solutions. MAYDAY is a long-term investment. In flight safety, teamwork, and people.
Most importantly, MAYDAY offers a fun and motivating approach to learning, where the participants engage in decision-making, communication, and critical thinking in a simulated reality. This helps limit the risk of human errors in the operational environment.

The MAYDAY Active Learning Tools are available as analogue board games or as digital training solutions. Both options guarantee the high learning outcome that characterises our approach to training.
MAYDAY offers simple simulations of the complex situations that occur in the operational environment. In that aspect, it is crucial to know how a certain knowledge, skills, or attitude impact that environment - and what you can do to mitigate the risk of human errors.
MAYDAY thus facilitates the enhancement of skills such as:
The general idea of MAYDAY is to create a safe learning environment where participants are allowed to make mistakes without physical consequences. This allows them to gain a better understanding of how their own mindset, behaviour, and attitudes affect the work environment.
In MAYDAY, there are no right or wrong decisions. It relies on you and your team to make the decision you find the most appropriate or optimal to resolve the situation or mitigate the risk of a critical event.
The most important thing to remember is that every decision has a consequence which can potentially escalate the situation. It is your job to mitigate these consequences together as a team.
The MAYDAY Active Learning Tools incorporate factors that affect the decision you make as a team. The factors could be:
By turning training into an interactive experience, participants add value to their professional lives as pilots, cabin crew members, technical crew, or maintenance staff. This learning approach allows for new learning opportunities due to the different questions and challenges.
Training is a mandatory requirement in the aviation industry. But taking an interactive approach to aviation training leads to more engaged participants and a better learning outcome.
No one becomes a master facilitator overnight. But like any other skill, facilitation can be trained, improved, and refined. Here are 8 steps to live by if you wish to advance from trainer to facilitator.
Every day, lives are at stake in our industry. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct training in a way which enhances competencies, knowledge, and skills. In this respect, Active Learning plays a crucial role.
Contrary to popular belief, facilitation is not a natural talent that some individuals are gifted with. Facilitation is a skill to be learned.
Learning from the safe distance of a chair has never generated lasting results. Still, this is the preferred training approach of many airlines and ATO’s. Active Learning enables people to actively think, discuss, and create.
