MEL Training Course 8-9 May 2023!

On 8 and 9 May 2023 we are pleased to announce that we are offering a training course about the Minimum Equipment List (MEL).

The Minimum Equipment List (MEL) is an operational document that pilots must consult prior to flight to determine whether or not inoperative equipment affects the airworthiness of the aircraft and the operational regulations for the intended flight.

Compiling a Minimum Equipment List is an Air Operator’s task and requires detailed knowledge of: •MEL philosophy; •MEL regulations; •MEL sources; •Aircraft configuration; •Operator’s policies and procedures.

This training course educates the participants on the MEL philosophy, MEL regulations and MEL sources and explains how to ensure that aircraft configuration and the operator’s procedures are properly reflected in a MEL.

The training course will provide valuable information both for MEL users (airline perspective) and NAA staff who approve the MEL (regulator perspective).

For the National Aviation Authority (NAA) Flight Operations and Airworthiness Inspectors, it specifically focusses on the role how to approve the MEL and how this effectively can be done. The proper ‘customization’ of the MEL by the airline to meet the operational and regulatory requirements, will be reviewed as this is to be particularly assesses and approved by the NAA Flight Operations and Airworthiness Inspectors.

The fee per person is Euro 1400. Feel free to contact us at info@ciconia-aviation.com

FligHT OPS training 4-5 March 2020

On 4-5 March 2020 (Wednesday & Thursday) Ciconia Aviation will offer a Flight Operations training course for RI (SAFA/SACA) inspectors.

The overall objective of the training course is to improve the Inspector’s familiarization with the requirements of the SAFA/SACA programme regarding the inspection items A13 (Flight Preparation) and A14 (Mass & Balance Calculation), with a view to enhancing their ability to assess the documents associated with the topics as presented by flight crew in the short time available during a turnaround, and in the close confines of the cockpit area.

This 2 day course gives participants insight into the flight preparation activities pilots typically carry out during turnaround. One day and a half will be in a classroom environment. In the afternoon of the second day, role play exercises will be held in a flight simulator with an experienced pilot in the captain’s seat. This provides a unique opportunity for the inspectors to further improve their crew interaction skills as well as to bring the knowledge gained in the classroom into practice.

The training course will be delivered by two experienced OPS & Ramp Inspection instructors.

In case of interest you are kindly invited to contact Ciconia Aviation at info@ciconia-aviation.com
