Objectives

This course is developed with ICAO Annex 19, ICAO Doc 9859 Safety Management Manual, EASA part 145.A.30 (e), CAA UK CAP 716 "Aviation Maintenance Human Factors" and FAA AC 120-72 "Maintenance Resource Management Training" as guidelines.

This course is created with the intention to become introduced to, and familiar with Safety Management Systems, improve the level of Human Factors awareness and to improve the understanding of Human Performance issues related to activities in an EASA and FAA part 145 maintenance environment.

This Safety Training, including Human Factors initial training course, is not only intended for maintenance engineers, but also for other functions directly, or indirectly related to maintenance activities. We recommend managers to complete this Advanced E-training course as well, so they can understand the organisational benefits, of a Human Factors and Safety Program.  The statistics, incidents and practical examples, which are included in this course reflect the present trends related to Safety Hazards and Human Factor issues in the aircraft maintenance environment, as much as possible.

Training slides are followed up with question slides. These question slides are included in the training to test your knowledge, skills and attitude towards Human Factors. At the end of the course you will receive a final examination. For both you need to pass with a score of 75% or more
