WingMentor works beneath the session, capturing what a clipboard never could

It listens, structures, classifies, connects evidence, suggests coaching prompts, and drafts reports in real time. But the instructional judgment always remains with the instructor.

Every observation. Every assessment. Every sign-off. Yours.

The line between instructor and system is deliberate, permanent, and visible throughout the entire workflow.

WingMentor does not attempt to replace the instructor. It exists to strengthen the instructor, reducing administrative burden, preserving session evidence, and supporting better debriefing and coaching decisions.

And it goes one step further.

Using the ICAO Instructor Competencies framework and the actual interactions from each training session, WingMentor gives instructors something they have never had before: a continuous private mirror into their own instructional practice.

Not based on generic AI models. Based on what was truly said, asked, coached, and discussed during the session itself.

Feedback, not once a year during an instructor assessment. Every session. Continuously.

This page explains the philosophy, the workflow, and the eight steps of a real training session with WingMentor. Even if you only read the headlines between busy training slots, the story remains clear:

Less paperwork. Better debriefings. Stronger instructors. Safer training.

The AI principle

The instructor is the architect. WingMentor is the drawing tool. Nothing on this page changes that.

What WingMentor does in a session:

• Observes the events on the panel and the timeline.
• Records the audio and the system events, verbatim.
• Classifies what it heard and saw against your operator’s frameworks.
• Suggests where each piece of evidence could fit.
• Listens to what you say during the debrief.
• Drafts the paperwork from your spoken account.

What only the instructor does:

• Reviews what WingMentor put on the table.
• Adjusts anything that does not match what you saw.
• Signs off the assessment. The signature is the moment the assessment becomes real.

An LLM can process what was said. Only the human will understand what was at stake.

The ORCA cycle

How WingMentor stays in its lane.

ORCA is the ICAO defined name of the cycle WingMentor runs underneath your session. It is adapted to six moves, in order, on a loop. Each move is the same kind of help: structural, never interpretive.

1. Observe. The session is in progress. WingMentor listens to the events on the panel and the timeline the way a second pair of ears would. Nothing is interpreted yet.

2. Record. Audio is captured. System events are captured. The record is verbatim. You can return to the exact moment anything happened, as often as you need to.

3. Classify. What was heard and seen is sorted against the frameworks your operator runs on: the 9 ICAO competencies for the pilot, the 5 IEC criteria for the instructor, the company EBT taxonomy. The classification is a proposal, not a verdict.

4. Suggest. Where the evidence could fit, WingMentor offers options on the drafting table. Several mappings are visible at once. You pick the one that matches what you saw, or you could reject them if the context you saw, was a different one.

5. Listen. During the debrief, WingMentor listens to what you say about the session. If you note that Leadership was well above average, the note is captured and tied to the evidence that supports it.

6. Draft. The paperwork is pre-filled from the spoken debrief and the marked-up evidence. You read, edit, sign. The work that used to take hours leaves the building in minutes. You enjoy your time off.

The cycle is the same on every flight, every simulator, every trainee. Consistency across the floor, automatic audit trail underneath, instructor judgement on top.

From the cycle to the session

This tells you the kind of help WingMentor gives at any moment. A real session strings these moments together. WingMentor renders this as the eight-step session: Briefing, Session, Speakers, Debrief, Status, Pilots, Instructor, Report.

Each step is one or more moves applied to the work in front of you. Briefing observes and records. Session records and classifies. Speakers classifies who said what. Debrief listens. Status drafts. Pilots and Instructor are where the competency marks are made, by you. Report is where you sign.

What WingMentor will not do

WingMentor does not produce a recommended grade, via AI or on its own. It does not interpret the evidence. It does not deliver a debrief to the trainee replacing the instructor. It assembles the materials and proposes a structure so your work is in one place. You control the document.

WingMentor is for the instructors who know it is much better to have an ultra-efficient workbench than a hallucinating verdict-machine.
