Lufthansa has long been committed to modern and data-driven training methods for its flight crews. The airline first introduced PRODEFIS TPMS in 2017, starting with Line Checks and EBT.
Since the introduction of Full EBT in December 2020, the use and acceptance of PRODEFIS TPMS have increased significantly. Today, a large portion of Lufthansa’s cockpit training activities are fully digital.
“PRODEFIS TPMS is an important support for us in training.”
— Christoph Uppenkamp – Head of Flight & Cabin Crew Training, Lufthansa
Objectives and Challenges
Lufthansa’s objective was both ambitious and clear: to implement Full EBT entirely paperless, including all regulatory requirements.
The challenge was to find a solution that could meet the airline’s strict internal quality and compliance standards while remaining flexible enough to accommodate future training demands.
Solution: PRODEFIS TPMS
With PRODEFIS TPMS, Lufthansa successfully achieved its goal. The system supports the airline’s crew training operations daily through:
- Fast access to information and efficient workflows
- Automatic creation of training events from scheduling systems
- Digital competency reports and straightforward system interfaces
Equally important for Lufthansa are the legally compliant documentation capabilities and the flexibility to integrate new training requirements as they arise.
“Our goal was clear: to implement Full EBT completely paperless, including all regulatory requirements. With PRODEFIS TPMS, we achieved exactly that.”
— Christoph Uppenkamp – Head of Flight & Cabin Crew Training, Lufthansa
Results
Since the introduction of Full EBT, all training documentation, license records, and signatures are managed entirely digitally. This marks a major milestone on Lufthansa’s path toward a fully paperless, efficient, and regulation-compliant training operation.
Conclusion
PRODEFIS TPMS has digitized, accelerated, and simplified Lufthansa’s training processes — helping the airline ensure the highest standards of quality and compliance in its pilot training programs within an increasingly digital environment.y.
