USAIG Performance Vector Spotlight:
NATA training subscriptions added
BY PAUL RATTE

Publishers:

An April 2020 revision to USAIG's Performance Vector safety offerings enables eligible
policyholders to apply their annual Performance Vector benefit selection to enhance training
practices with NATA's online Training Libraries for Ground Handlers and Pilots. The new
Performance Vector offer covers establishment or renewal of a Safety 1st Training Center
(SFTC) annual subscription for up to 14 trainee slots, or a Part 135/91 Training Center annual
subscription for up to 10 slots. Additional trainee slots can be added at policyholder's expense.
A subscription provides unlimited use for 12 months of the selected library's content for the
subscribed organization's personnel, with no additional cost if slots are reassigned due to
employee turnover. The SFTC includes over 60 courses ranging from basic ramp safety to
towing, fueling, de-icing, human factors, and more. The Part 135/91 Training Center is a broad
collection of e-learning topics relevant for annual recurrent training by professional pilots,
and has an additional section themed specifically for aeromedical flight crew members. NATA
normally requires subscribers to first be NATA members, however for any USAIG policyholder
that opts for an initial training library subscription as their Performance Vector benefit while
not already a NATA member, NATA will waive the membership requirement for the first year of
the subscription. A policyholder that wishes to renew a subscription into a second/subsequent
year (either through Performance Vector or by self-funding external to the Performance Vector
program) must become a dues-paying NATA member to continue as a subscriber.

NATA Safety 1st Training Center (SFTC) Subscription
(up to 14 trainee slots included)
NATA Safety 1st is the leading training resource for general and business aviation aircraft
ground handling. The SFTC utilizes a ratings-based approach to training that shifts emphasis
away from achieving a single certificate and refocuses team members on individual functional
areas of their job. Rather than completing hours and hours of training to receive a single
certification, trainees earn ratings as they complete courses and gain experience. Each rating
corresponds to a specific job function. The SFTC includes over 60 courses.
NATA Part 135/91 Training Center Annual Subscription
(up to 10 trainee slots included)
An easy-to-use, comprehensive collection of e-learning courses relevant for annual
recurrent training by professional pilots and aeromedical flight crew members.
