Description

The Risk-Based Surveillance in Aviation course is designed for aviation regulators, inspectors, safety managers, and other aviation professionals. These individuals are responsible for ensuring operational safety and regulatory compliance. In today’s complex aviation environment, effective oversight requires more than routine inspections. It demands a strategic approach that prioritizes resources based on actual risk. This course introduces participants to the principles of risk-based surveillance (RBS). RBS has become a cornerstone of modern aviation safety oversight.

Participants will learn how to integrate risk management principles into every stage of surveillance. This includes planning and execution, as well as analysis and follow-up. The course covers the full surveillance cycle, including scheduled, unscheduled, reactive, and proactive inspections. It emphasizes how each type contributes to overall safety oversight. By focusing on high-risk areas and using data-driven tools, participants will understand how to allocate resources efficiently. They will conduct targeted inspections that maximize impact.

Through interactive lectures, real-world case studies, group exercises, and practical simulations, attendees will gain hands-on experience. They will engage in planning risk-based surveillance activities, performing on-site and remote inspections, and using checklists. Assessment tools will help them evaluate compliance effectively. The course also addresses post-surveillance actions, such as implementing corrective and preventive measures. Additionally, it covers monitoring outcomes and ensuring continuous improvement in aviation safety practices.

By the end of this program, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of how to apply Risk-Based Surveillance in Aviation. This approach enhances safety oversight. It supports regulatory compliance and fosters a culture of continuous improvement. The course equips aviation professionals with knowledge, skills, and practical experience. These are necessary to conduct effective, evidence-based oversight. Such oversight strengthens the safety and efficiency of the aviation system.
