Booklet: Training Effectiveness and Innovation

We invite you to discover more about the innovative training and safety programmes we develop for airlines and other clients. The common goal is to make training more effective and efficient and to assist airlines in understanding and managing their safety risks and in achieving excellence in safety performance. Everything we do is founded in a thorough science-base, which we have bridged into truly practical solutions.

Our vision of airline training is founded on competency-based and performance-based training (PBT) concepts. Our approach focuses on a thorough process of analysis, design, development and implementation with the client. Our staff have detailed knowledge of and expertise in training, simulation, human behavioural assessment and regulations. This knowledge is combined with applied technical research and development in simulation. NLR actively develops innovative training technologies and training media. These capabilities and our in-house research infrastructure ensure that NLR can oversee the entire spectrum and stay on top of – and ahead of – new developments and innovations in airline training and simulation.

NLR Portfolio: Innovations for Military Capabilities

For over a century, Royal NLR has been a dedicated and knowledge-based innovator. Proud of our royal predicate, we act as a strategic partner for the entire Netherlands Defence organisation.
We focus on timely capability development to bolster national security. We build operational flexibility directly into defence systems through sustainable solutions, ranging from alternative energy to unmanned vehicles. When rapidly evolving threats emerge, our 'fast innovation lane' quickly adapts civil technology for immediate military use. This forward-thinking approach extends to mobility as well. We are shaping the future of transport by integrating aviation with other networks and pioneering smaller, electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft.
