<h1>Cabin crew competency-based training framework proposed; draft voluntary CBTA norms to set measurable performance indicators for emergencies.</h1> A Competency Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) framework for cabin crew is planned to set competency focused training and assessment standards, embedding measurable performance indicators for scenarios such as cabin fires and communications. The draft norms are expected on a defined timetable and the scheme will be voluntary for airlines, enabling adoption to align crew training with observable competency outcomes and improve operational safety and effectiveness.
