Crew and passengers reasonably expect to be able to take the airworthiness of their aircraft as a given when they travel. What does airworthiness really mean and what does it take in practice to achieve and sustain particularly for large, complex aircraft supported by large, complex organisations?

This course provides an understanding of the international and national frameworks, underlying principles, regulatory requirements, processes, terminology, governance and implementation challenges presented by the regulatory, business and societal expectations associated with initial and continuing airworthiness.

It is relevant to those involved in the operation of Transport category aircraft including regulators, engineers, maintainers, schedulers, operations controllers, general managers and those holding accountable roles. It is based around the regulatory systems and concepts of the Australian, European and U.S. environments. Areas covered include relevant regulations, design, certification, entry-into-service, continuing airworthiness compliance, conformance and change management, managing acquittal of work, maintenance organisations and logistics and inventory management.
