Since 2022, Air Tahiti Nui has been using PRODEFIS TPMS as its core Evidence-Based Training platform.
By standardizing grading, strengthening training governance, and consolidating high-quality performance data, the airline has established a robust and future-proof foundation for EBT operations.
This case study shows how Air Tahiti Nui translates EBT concepts into structured, day-to-day training practice.
Airline Profile
Air Tahiti Nui is the flag carrier of French Polynesia, operating long-haul services in a highly regulated, safety-critical environment. The airline’s training organization supports a diverse pilot population and places strong emphasis on standardization, regulatory alignment, and continuous improvement.
Training Context & Challenge
As Air Tahiti Nui advanced its Evidence-Based Training (EBT) framework, the airline identified several structural challenges:
- Limited standardization in the collection and consolidation of training and assessment data
- Instructor feedback and training observations captured in fragmented, non-uniform formats
- Time-intensive manual processes to track competencies, trends, and areas for improvement
- The need to better align regulatory requirements, operational feedback, and training outcomes
To mature its EBT program, Air Tahiti Nui required a dedicated digital platform that could embed EBT principles directly into its daily training and evaluation workflows.
Solution: PRODEFIS TPMS
Air Tahiti Nui implemented PRODEFIS TPMS in 2023 as a core component of its EBT framework.
PRODEFIS TPMS is used throughout recurrent training and evaluation to support data-driven training design, instructor standardization, and continuous program improvement. The platform provides structured, traceable inputs that directly support EBT governance by linking training observations, assessments, and analyses within a centralized system.
Operational Impact
With PRODEFIS TPMS embedded into daily operations, Air Tahiti Nui achieved clear, tangible benefits:
- Consistent and transparent training data across instructors and fleets
- Reduced administrative effort through elimination of manual data handling and duplication
- Improved trend visibility, enabling early identification of strengths and areas of focus
- Stronger evidence-based decision-making for training planning and program adjustments
Training management teams now operate with a consolidated, reliable data foundation, enabling proactive oversight rather than reactive intervention.
Key Capabilities in Use
Air Tahiti Nui particularly values the following PRODEFIS TPMS capabilities:
- Structured competency and assessment management aligned with EBT principles
- Centralized data repository ensuring accessibility, traceability, and audit readiness
- Intuitive user interfaces supporting instructor adoption and consistent usage
- Robust reporting and analytical functions supporting internal reviews and regulatory oversight
- Responsive support and a collaborative working relationship with the prodefis teams
EBT Enablement & Regulatory Milestone
By systematically embedding structured data usage into its training processes, PRODEFIS TPMS acts as a core enabler of Air Tahiti Nui’s EBT framework. The platform supports continuous monitoring and refinement of training programs based on evidence rather than assumptions.
As a direct result, Air Tahiti Nui became the first French airline outside the Air France Group to receive EBT approval, marking a significant milestone in its training transformation.
“A reliable platform — backed by a responsive, partnership-driven team”
“PRODEFIS TPMS gives us a reliable, structured foundation for Evidence-Based Training, but what truly stands out is the prodefis team. Their customer support is responsive, pragmatic, and deeply familiar with our operational and regulatory context. This partnership approach gives us confidence that the solution will continue to evolve alongside our training needs and will serve us for many years to come.”
— Vetea SANFORD, Head of Training at Air Tahiti Nui
Outlook
With PRODEFIS TPMS firmly established as its EBT training backbone, Air Tahiti Nui is well-positioned to further evolve its training programs, deepen analytical insights, and continuously enhance safety and operational performance through evidence-based training management.
