☀️ Post-summer training updates: Shufrans TechDocs has resumed certified Simplified Technical English (STE) training workshops in Q3 2024. This week, our course participants have meticulously selected 4️⃣ approved and non-approved STE terms, ensuring that their user manuals adhere to the principles of clear, concise, and consistent language.

Implementation of these STE guidelines has yielded tangible results. We observed a substantial improvement in text readability, with a 11-42% increase in comprehensibility. This has directly contributed to a 17-20% reduction in reading time, rendering their documents more accessible and efficient for end users.

The benefits of adopting STE extend beyond improved readability and reduced reading time. By using simple alternatives, technical information is more inclusive, ensuring that the information is easily understood by a wider audience, regardless of their technical expertise!

Lothar Mücke, Head of Technical Publications, Dornier seawings "The introduction to Simplified Technical English has been most useful for our understanding of what the specification entails and how it can be applied to our daily work. Delivery was made in a calm manner, where you realize that the trainer knows what he is talking about.

The presentation on ASD-STE100 writing rules & application gave us all plenty of insights and I am sorry, I do not have any specific favourites. Maybe so, but I was quite pleased with the worksheets and quizzes and wouldn't know what could be improved at the moment.

The the rewriting workshop was very well managed, and most certainly lived up to our team's expectations. It was fun to work through and review our documents in-depth. I'd most definitely recommend this course to peers and professionals in my industry!"

Glassy water take-off/landing – Why it can be dangerous

Do you remember the Seastar aerial shots from Norway with the long coastal fjords and the beautiful smooth water surface? This extremely calm water surface looks picturesque and breathtakingly beautiful on photos, but in reality it is a challenge which comes with additional requirements for seaplanes and different techniques for their pilots. In technical jargon, it is called “glassy water” operation.

“Glassy water” occurs generally in sheltered waters when there is little or no wind. This lack of water movement makes it extremely difficult for pilots to properly assess the aircraft’s height or altitude above the water during a glassy water landing. The consequences of misjudging height over glassy water can be catastrophic. That`s only one of the reasons why Seastar is equipped with advanced avionics which increase the situational awareness of seaplane pilots during any glassy water landing.
