Only 5 weeks to go to the #AVIAssist Incident Investigation course Kigali

Dear ATC Readers,

Find following the invitation by AVIAssist to participate in their latest training initiative:

Always wanted to get trained as an incident investigator? We bring this qualification close to you for the very first time.
Popular TV programs give a very one-sided look at investigations and focus on major crashes. But the majority of investigations in our industry look at incidents and safety occurences.

Effective safety management (SMS & SSP) largely depend on the quality of the investigation of reported incidents and safety issues.

This course is suitable for professionals from Civil Aviation Authorities, airports, Air Navigation Service Providers, Accident Investigation Authorities and airlines (operators).
You’ll be joined in the course by colleagues from Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority, RwandAir, Kenya Airways, Akagera Aviation and others.

A registration form has been attached to this email.

Only limited seats remaining in our 2017 Rwanda course.

Your instructor brings both the cockpit and the airport view to the table. As a former flight engineer on KLM’s B747 fleet, he was an investigator for their Flight Safety & Quality Assurance department and chairman of the aviation chamber of the Dutch Safety Board that investigates transport incidents and accidents.
