Continuing Airworthiness - Technical Services Skills

How will this course benefit me?

This course is designed to meet the needs of staff and organisations who want to implement a proactive approach to delivering a consistently robust approach to assessing and processing technical information such as AD’s SB’s repairs and other ICA’s. Through examining industry best practice, the course will provide you with knowledge and techniques you need in order to promote greater efficiency in the continuing airworthiness management and maintenance environments, ultimately improving safety.
Looking at the intent of the information, through group and individual exercises, and relating this to the regulatory requirements around competence, completing this course will engender a full understanding of the needs and pressures faced by colleagues performing complementary functions, resulting in you:

• Making more informed decisions when assessing AD’s, SB’s and other service information
• Reducing maintenance errors and potential ‘out-of-compliance’ situations in your organisation
• Reducing lead time AD and SB assessment by improving competencies and understanding
• Minimising cost and maximise revenue through more effective management of workflow
• Improving Safety by having confidence in AD, SB and repair management

Key areas of focus

• Safety, regulations and interfaces in continuing airworthiness
• Personnel competence
• Airworthiness Directives
• ICA’s, Service Bulletins, Service Letters and other service information
• Modification policies
• Defect analysis and management
