Fuel Tank Safety

Fuel tank safety training course is intended for maintenance personnel. It can be provided as a purely classroom course or as a combination of classroom training and e-learning. The course has been devised to meet the relevant requirements of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and other authorities.

The course is offered as awareness (Phase 1) or detailed training (Phase 2). Its content follows the requirements of EASA’s Appendix IV to AMC 145.A.30(e) and 145.B.10(3)

The awareness training (Phase 1) is designed for maintenance management, quality management and quality assurance personnel. Participants here will be familiarized with the basic terms and elements of fuel tank safety, including the requisite documentation of the historical background and all safety-related issues.

The detailed training (Phase 2) is intended for personnel involved in managing and reviewing the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and for personnel who are required to plan, supervise, inspect and certify the maintenance of aircraft and fuel system components. This training, which also includes all the topics of Phase 1, puts a particular emphasis on the technical aspects, but also deals with all the further topics prescribed. The Phase 2 course also includes an examination at the end, in accordance with EASA guidelines.

There is also a further option of a two-to-three-hour Refresher Recurrent course.
