Reuters reports:
Asiana Airlines said on Monday that it would enhance training for pilots seeking to convert to flying new aircraft, part of a series of measures it is undertaking after the fatal crash of an Boeing 777 plane in San Francisco.
"We will bolster our training program...when a pilot converts to a jet from a different manufacturer," Asiana said in a presentation to the government, which was shown to reporters.
The new measures will include enhancing training for visual approach and automated flight and conducting flight inspection on airports which are "vulnerable to safety."
The pilots aboard the Boeing 777 made a visual approach to San Francisco airport, and relied on automatic equipment to maintain airspeed.
Asiana said it will also seek to improve communications skills among crew members, and introduce a system to manage "fatigue risk."
Other measures include setting up separate maintenance teams for Boeing and Airbus planes, and enhancing safety management systems.
