Basic Airworthiness Inspector Course

Introduction

This 10-day course introduces the Airworthiness principles for all activities associated with Civil Aircraft.

The course will cover the background to the airworthiness regulations, aspects of design and certification and operation. A common thread will run through the whole course taking in Type Certification, Supplemental Type Certification, changes (modifications) and repairs at all levels, approval systems to support Design, Production for the TC holder, Operational Approvals, Continued Airworthiness Management under Part M through maintenance activities of Part 145 and the certification of personnel through Parts 66 and 147.

The course focuses on the product. The airworthiness principles are presented in such a way that they can be used in other regulatory systems than the EU. However, we use the EU regulatory system as a reference. This course is aimed at providing the knowledge to professionals to communicate with different airworthiness competencies within their organisation or outside their organisation.  

The training course provides knowledge, guidance and practical application information on how to effectively understand the regulatory principles and responsibilities for all airworthiness-related approvals and standards.

The course is an interactive course with participants of different backgrounds and experiences. It provides a good understanding of airworthiness, whether it is the EASA system or any other regulatory system or military airworthiness system.
