The "Safety Management Systems for Aerodromes" course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of Safety Management Systems (SMS) tailored specifically for aerodromes. This course serves as a pivotal tool for aerodrome personnel, enabling them to proactively identify, assess, and manage safety risks in compliance with international standards.
Upon completion of this course, participants will:
The standard course duration is 4 weeks, comprising both theoretical and practical components. The initial two weeks focus on theoretical foundations, covering SMS principles, regulatory requirements, and the unique considerations for aerodrome safety. The subsequent two weeks involve participants in practical exercises, including risk assessments, safety audits, and the development of aerodrome-specific safety protocols.
The theoretical segment includes classroom lectures, group discussions, and eLearning modules. Participants delve into the core concepts of SMS, understanding how these principles apply to aerodrome settings. Regulatory frameworks and international best practices are emphasized to ensure compliance.
Practical training immerses participants in real-world scenarios specific to aerodrome operations. Through safety audits, hands-on exercises, and case studies, participants apply theoretical knowledge to identify potential hazards, assess risks, and develop actionable safety plans.
The course covers a range of topics, including:
Participants should have a basic understanding of aerodrome operations and possess English language skills at ICAO Level 4 or higher.
The course aligns with international standards, including ICAO SMS requirements specific to aerodromes. It is approved by the appropriate aviation authorities, ensuring adherence to industry best practices.
