LINECRAFT PRACTICE NETWORK
Explore real operational questions with the people who work with them.
The Linecraft Practice Network brings practitioners together to explore real operational questions, share experience and turn what we learn into practical resources that can be returned to the wider industry.
Some questions are better explored together.
General aviation contains enormous practical knowledge, but much of it remains within individual operators, roles, regions and personal networks.
The Practice Network creates structured opportunities for pilots, instructors, operators, training and checking personnel, maintenance, safety practitioners and others to compare experience and work through operational questions together.
Linecraft facilitates the conversation. We do not assume the useful answer belongs to us.
Practice Sessions
90-120 minutes
Interactive sessions built around a defined operational question.
Deep Dives
3 hours +
More structured development around specific areas of capability.
Linecraft Briefings
45-60 minutes
Short, focused explorations of practical aviation topics
Industry Conversations
Open facilitated discussions where the purpose is to hear different experiences and approaches - not teach a predetermined answer.
Upcoming Practice Sessions
The First 100 Hours
From licence holder to operational pilot.
What should the first 100 hours of operational flying actually be developing - and what helps those hours become useful experience?
FREE - ONLINE VIA TEAMS - 2 HOURS
Learning From Normal Operations
What Are We Relying On?
IN DEVELOPMENT
What guides the network?
What Linecraft learns from industry should, wherever possible, find its way back to industry
Useful experience should not stop with the people who happened to be in the room.
People should be able to engage with Linecraft without ever becoming a client and still leave better equipped than they arrived.
What should we explore next?
The Practice Network is shaped by questions arising from real aviation work. If there is a problem, tension or operating question you think deserves a wider conversation, tell us.

Scenario-Based Training: Developing Judgement, Not Just Manoeuvres
Scenario-based training is not simply adding weather, failures and distractions to a flight.
This practical three-hour workshop explores how instructors can design training around the competence they are actually trying to develop—particularly judgement, decision-making, TEM, workload management and non-technical skills.
Who it's for
Flight instructors, instructor trainees, senior instructors, HOTCs, flight examiners and pilots involved in operational training.
What we'll explore
starting with competency rather than emergency
cues rather than conclusions
genuine decision points
instructor intervention
training versus assessment
debriefing reasoning rather than only outcome
using the CRAFT framework to design scenarios
Design the scenario around the competence.
Register interest — Cairns SBT Workshop
Linecraft Briefings
Short online sessions exploring one practical aviation problem at a time.
Approximately 45 minutes discussion + 15 minutes Q&A
When More Training Isn't the Answer
The Control Worked. Then the Operation Changed.
When Temporary Controls Become Capability Debt
What We Learn When Nothing Goes Wrong
Built around the decisions practitioners actually make.
The objective is not to replace professional judgement with another framework.
It is to give practitioners better ways to recognise, discuss and deliberately develop the judgement their operation already depends upon.
