Course Objective:
The course is designed to provide a thorough grounding in the understanding of Fuel Tank Safety (FTS) related issues. In addition, it provides a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory requirement for effective FTS compliance. Covering the wide range of topics required by the amendments, from the investigation of historical events driving the legislation to its practical applications ensuring the continued airworthiness of affected aircraft, the course aims to succinctly and clearly communicate a complex and dynamic subject.
Who should attend?
It is applicable for all maintenance engineers, technicians and mechanics in maintenance organizations (Part-145 AMO) and also for technical staff in Continuing Airworthiness Management Organizations (Part-M CAMO).
