Description

The airline industry comprises many component systems. Each of these systems in turn is a combination of other systems. The delivery of a process that is both safe and expeditious can generate a significant potential error. This course provides an introduction to the necessary skills and techniques of effective investigation that will prevent error within the aviation industry, before an accident occurs, and is applicable to all categories of staff throughout the aviation industry. Particular emphasis is placed on the roles and responsibilities of investigators and the gathering of key causal factors. This enables investigators to develop early warning systems that can improve the safety and health of their organisations through study of the principles of system safety and incident analysis.
