UK CAA / EASA Airworthiness Introduction

TR23 | 1 day

All staff employed in the airworthiness cycle have the potential to impact on the organisation’s safety objectives, but are often overlooked when it comes to formal training in regulatory responsibilities; this being an area usually reserved for Engineers, Compliance Monitoring personnel, Managers or Certifying Staff. This course is designed especially for those overlooked staff. It clarifies the UK CAA/EASA airworthiness regulatory systems from design through to disposal and highlights how their responsibilities can be as important to aircraft safety as any other person. Furthermore, it will, through giving them increased understanding of their roles & how they should interface with other areas, increase business effectiveness & efficiency whilst reducing errors and other frustrations.

This foundation level introductory course is aimed at filling the gap of regulatory understanding for those working 
in the aviation industry within airworthiness roles in a Part-21, Part-CAMO or Part-145 environment and whose work 
is just as important in ensuring the airworthiness and serviceability of civil aircraft.

It is designed to raise awareness of the objectives of the regulations and their significance to all staff in the safety 
system.

Completing this course will assist you to:

• Have enhanced awareness of the regulations and how they interact with each other
• Have improved understanding of the explicit safety intent and confidence in identifying risk and questioning potential risk situations
• Have an appreciation of the regulations system and how the responsibilities they hold in their roles interface with the wider system, leading to a safer & more efficient organisation.
