OVERVIEW
This interactive instructor-led professional development course is designed to equip participants with the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for the development of civil aircraft and systems based on ARP4754B. It also covers the guidelines and methods for conducting the safety assessment process based on ARP4761A and includes illustrative examples and activities to facilitate practical understanding and competence development.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  1. Expound on the purpose of ARP4754B.
  2. List the objectives of development assurance planning and outline the planning elements.
  3. Analyze and apply the key activities of the aircraft and system development process.
  4. Explain what integral processes entail and complete aircraft and system safety assessments.
  5. Describe the activities and key considerations associated with aircraft and system modifications. 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: The course is targeted at engineers and managers involved in aircraft and system development projects. In particular, the program is suitable for personnel who are new to the subject matter or are already familiar with the fundamentals of the subject but require formal training to improve their knowledge and practical skill set.
