Note: This training course is also part of the newly launched JAA TO/EUROCONTROL Aerodrome Learning Path. More details, click here

This course introduces participants to the requirements for Management Systems within the aviation industry, with a specific focus on the aerodrome domain. It covers the purpose, scope, and key components of such systems.

Participants will explore various applications and scenarios where these components are applied - either independently or in combination with others.

The course includes practical exercises, such as hazard identification, determination of mitigating measures, and more.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify the key management systems applicable to an aerodrome operator.
• Describe:
  • the purpose of each system,
  • the main components of the systems,
  • the scope, coverage and coordination requirements with respect to contracted partners and other organisations.
• Apply key processes, such as:
  • hazard identification,
  • simple risk assessment,
  • the audit process,
  • safety performance indicators,
• Utilise:
  • the relevant safety FORA,
  • the information gained from the safety reporting system.
  • EU MSAT to assess the maturity of a management system
