Aviation Maintenance Human Factors (Recurrent) – 1 Day

Introduction 

Today 80% of Aircraft Accidents and incidents are caused by Human Factor errors. Whether it is pilot error, maintenance error or Air traffic Control or other ground related causal factors, ultimately does not matter human error is human error. There is a deep understanding of the various causes of error after the event, the challenge is to understand before we have an incident or accident the risks and exposures which the organization faces.

So we know about the importance of Aviation Human Factors Training, but how to make a difference? As Aviation Maintenance Staff we should never loose site of the potential exposure to Human factors as depicted in the -”Dirty Dozen”.

Recurrent Human Factors training is not only mandatory it is vital to ensure that we pay attention at all times to the need to address exposure to the potential errors which can occur within our maintenance environment. In addition we need to ensure that at all times we adhere to Human Factors principles and practices, moreover that such principles and behaviours are continuously applied.

This recurrent Human Factors course has been developed for staff who need to demonstrate ongoing compliance with mandatory HF training, as with all SAS training courses it is focused on the best organisation practices and is able to contribute to your successful HF training program.

The course is a highly participative and stimulates involvement and provides for powerful HF motivation and awareness. The aim is to update delegates regarding Human Factors.

The course meets the full intent of EASA 145 requirements (Initial human factors training should cover all the topics of the training syllabus specified in GM 145.A.30 (e))

By the end of this course, delegates will be able to explore the implications of error, the organisation’s safety culture, its procedures and safety policy and methods of communication.

Who is this training for?

For anyone who wishes to engage with the aviation maintenance system or who has an organisational obligation to ensure completion of Initial Human Factors Training.

The training will also be of benefit for anyone who needs to understand, manage and support the need to fully engage with human interaction within the organisation.

What is the Benefit of this Training – What will I learn?

Be able to demonstrate continuing compliance with EASA Part 145 A.30 Human Factor Training Requirements
