Airworthiness Review - Essential Principles and Techniques

How will this course benefit me?

Drawing on Baines Simmons’ extensive experience of undertaking aircraft surveys for a variety of clients, including those on behalf of the Isle of Man Aircraft Registry, this course provides a look at the regulatory requirements in the context of focusing on the hands-on, essential skills required to undertake a review competently and effectively.
Completing this course will enable you to:

• Perform Airworthiness Reviews in an effective, competent and meaningful manner
• Satisfy the Competent Authority that you have the right competence for this activity

Key areas of focus

• Regulatory foundations – Part M subparts G & I, Airworthiness Review process and requirements for Airworthiness Review Staff
• Planning for a review – what information is required and how it may be presented
• Assessing your findings – appreciating the significance and impact upon airworthiness
• Concluding your review – is the aircraft airworthy?
  
  

An optional third day can be added to the course to allow participants to practice their skills with a real aircraft. Speak to a Baines Simmons Consultant for more information. This option is not available at the Aviation Safety Academy.
