eVTOL pilots will be a different breed
eVTOL pilots performing Urban Air Mobility (UAM) missions will be exceptionally well-trained. UAM means short turnaround times, busy airspace, advanced avionics & controls, micro-weather challenges, and of course the unique flight characteristics of electric aircraft which take off vertically and then transition into forward flight.
Specialist eVTOL pilot training regimes are already being developed to address these challenges. When considering pilots, today the insurance market focuses on hours and experience - a metric which is less transferable to innovative eVTOL aircraft. Accurate risk analysis will require an understanding of the training programmes and the new ways in which eVTOL pilot competency is measured and maintained.
