Introduction
This course is structured to provide practical knowledge, hands-on exercises, and valuable insights into the application of EASA MSAT across various aviation contexts.
By the end of this 1-day course, participants should have a comprehensive understanding of the EASA Management System Assessment Tool, its application in initial certification, continuing oversight, dealing with multiple certificates, and managing integrated management systems.
The implementation of the EASA Management System Assessment Tool (MSAT) represents a pivotal shift in aviation oversight, moving from a rigid, “box-ticking” compliance model to a performance-oriented, risk-based maturity framework.
For operators, this is a strategic opportunity to move beyond “paper compliance” and embed safety into the organization’s DNA.
By aligning with the regulatory perspective, organizations can transition from following rules to demonstrating how well their systems actually perform in real-world operations.
This structure aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of safety culture, the Industry Safety Culture Evaluation Tool, and the skills necessary to effectively use the tool in their oversight activities.
