Know where your fleet is moving, from the checks you already run.
OPC, LPC and line checks go in. Pilot trends, examiner consistency and audit-ready reports come out.
Every check looks fine on its own. What matters only shows across them.
A pilot is checked three times a year. Each report is written, signed off and filed. Nobody sees the forty of them side by side.
Six checks, six passes, six different examiners. Nothing to see here.
The pilot profile: one pilot, every check, against the fleet
Built for the moments a pilot’s record gets read.
The same record serves three people with three different jobs. The analytics serves development, not discipline, and every figure can be traced back to the checks that produced it.
Watch every pilot’s competencies, and hear about a problem before it turns into a finding.

We would rather learn to read your form than ask you to change it.
Ask in plain words.
Beyond what comes back after every check, anyone with access can put their own question to the records. The answer comes back with the figure, the definition it was computed by, and a link to the records behind it.
How has manual flying moved on the A320 fleet this year?
Manual aircraft control is up across the A320 fleet this year.
Mean grading for that competency across every OPC, LPC and line check on the fleet, against the same period last year, adjusted for where each examiner sits in the band.
Every check that went into it, with the examiner's own debrief.
Did the new upset recovery module change anything in the records?
Yes, in the two competencies the module targets, from the first checks after it started.
Grades for those competencies before and after the module's start date, on the pilots who completed it.
Every check that went into it, with the examiner's own debrief.
Which crews have improved most since we changed the sim programme?
The crews who flew the new programme in their last two sessions.
Change in crew-level competency grading across sessions since the programme change, ranked by size of movement.
Every check that went into it, with the examiner's own debrief.
Built by aviation people, for aviation.
We come from inside airline training and operations. This exists because the question kept coming up at work and nothing on the market answered it.
It is built on the industry's own data and the way the industry actually grades. General-purpose models are good at many things and this is not one of them, because reading a check report takes knowledge of the job that no general model has.
One pilot across the nine competencies a check is graded on. The weak corners show where training goes, and the next checks show whether it worked.
What training departments ask first.
Pilot competency analytics for airlines and training organisations, built on the check reports you already file.
What does gradient do?
gradient reads an airline’s pilot check reports — OPC, LPC, line checks and the examiner’s remarks — and joins them into one record per pilot. Every new check is read against everything before it, so a training department sees competency trends across the fleet, examiners see who they are flying with, and pilots see what to work on next.
Which check reports and training records can it read?
Operator proficiency checks (OPC), licence proficiency checks (LPC), line checks, type rating and command upgrade sessions, FSTD and LOFT sessions, and the examiner’s free-text remarks and debrief notes. It learns to read your existing form, so nothing about the way examiners fill it in has to change.
Does it support evidence-based training (EBT) and CBTA?
Yes. Grades and remarks are mapped to the nine ICAO pilot competencies — application of procedures, communication, flight path management (automation and manual), leadership and teamwork, problem solving and decision making, situation awareness, workload management and knowledge — on the grading scale your operation already uses. Legacy and EBT programmes can be read side by side.
How does it help with examiner standardisation?
Each examiner sees where their own grading sits within the group’s band on the same items, with the uncertainty that comes from how many checks they have run. Nobody is ranked. For a standardisation day, the group sees which items it grades least consistently, which supports the instructor and examiner concordance work that EBT programmes call for.
Can the figures be shown to an authority during an audit?
Every figure carries the definition it was computed by, the filters used and links to the individual checks behind it, so a compliance monitoring manager or an inspector can trace any trend back to the original records.
Is pilot data used for discipline?
No. The analytics serves development, not discipline. Pilots are compared with their own line rather than with named colleagues, examiners never see a ranking, and nothing is built that would let one employer pass judgements about a pilot to another.
Do we need to install anything or change our forms?
No. Nothing gets installed, nothing gets connected to your systems, and nothing leaves your operation. A demo runs on your own records and answers the questions you would actually ask of them.
Who is it built for?
Airlines and approved training organisations: heads of training, chief pilots, flight operations, compliance monitoring, type rating examiners (TRE), instructors (TRI), line check captains, and the captains and first officers being assessed. It is built by people from inside airline training and operations.
