Description

This training provides participants with a solid foundation in aviation materials management within a commercial airline or maintenance organization. The course is designed to strengthen participants’ understanding of the principles of airworthiness, regulatory requirements, and best practices in the control, handling, storage, and release of aircraft parts and materials.

Participants will gain practical knowledge aligned with EASA regulatory frameworks, including Part-145 and Part-M, and will learn how to ensure safe and compliant material handling throughout the aviation supply chain. This training also serves as continuation training in support of EASA staff competency requirements.
