Introduction

This 10 days course will introduce the Airworthiness principles for all activities associated with Civil Aircraft.

The course will cover the background to the current airworthiness regulations; aspects of design and certification and operation. A common thread will run through the whole course taking in Type Certification, Supplemental Type Certification, changes (modifications) and repairs at all levels, approval systems to support Design, Production for the TC holder, Operational Approvals, Continued Airworthiness Management under Part M through maintenance activities of Part 145 and the certification of personnel through Parts 66 and 147.

The course is designed to understand the principles of the regulatory system concept concerning aircraft design, manufacturing, modification, operation, management and maintenance.

It provides current practical applications and guidance on how to effectively understand the regulatory principles and responsibilities for all airworthiness-related approvals and standards.
