Description

Safety and Accident prevention are issues in almost every walk of life, none more so than within the aviation industry. The objective of this course is to provide those working in aviation and associated industries with a broad and detailed understanding of the commercial aviation safety system and strategies developed to make that system safer. While the course specifically relates to commercial air service operations in Australia, it also recognises the vital importance of global co-operation and the role of specific international organisations. It also focuses on the investigation and prevention of accidents, and the roles of the Bureau of Air Safety Investigation and the Aviation Regulatory authorities.
