Maintenance Human Factors Trainer

A core course for instructors who will be involved in the development and delivery of training in Human Factors in Aviation Maintenance (MHF).

EASA 145 Requirements

EASA part 145 requires that personnel involved in any maintenance, management and/or quality audits, must have an understanding of the application of human factors and human performance capabilities. Part 145 approved maintenance organisations are required to have completed the initial training by 28th September 2006. This course will be of particular interest to organisations required to meet the Human Factors training requirements of EASA 145.

Maintenance Human Factors

The aim of MHF training is to increase safety, quality and efficiency in aircraft maintenance operations by reducing human error and its impact on maintenance activities.

The course syllabus fully covers the MHF training requirements for EASA 145 compliant engineering organisations. The 'Train the Trainer' course is 5 days in duration; covering theoretical aspects of MHF training with relevant references to, and examination of human factor related maintenance incidents and accidents.

The course utilises video footage, case studies and investigation board reports. The course develops practical skills including instructional techniques, facilitation, critique and feedback.

Throughout the course we promote an awareness of our behavioural attitudes to improve and develop communication and interpersonal relationships with all those involved in the aviation system. The training addresses the nature of your company's operations and procedures, which produce particular difficulties and unusual hazards.
