Course overview

The Human Factor (HF) online training is mandatory aviation training of Human Factors issues.

It is applicable for all maintenance engineers, technicians and mechanics in maintenance organizations (Part-145 AMO) and also for technical staff in Continuing Airworthiness Management Organizations (Part-M CAMO).

It assures validity of certification authorization and compliance with regulations for next two years. Includes brief review of basics Human Factors issues.

Human Factors training includes new instructions issued which are related to the human behavior, communication and technical requirements in relation to safety while maintaining aircraft.

Training Type

On-line Human Factor (HF) Continuation training – video presentation with voice over recordings. Duration 3,5 hours.

Compliance of the course

The content of HF Continuation training is in compliance with Part-145 AMC2 145.A.30(e) and GM1 145.A.30(e).

The aim of content

The term ‘Human factors’ refers to the principles which apply to aeronautical design, certification, training, operations and maintenance whilst seeking to ensure a safe interface between a human and other system components by paying due consideration to human performances.

In order to reduce the impact of human factors, it is highly important to ensure that all the processes involved in the maintenance of aeronautical products are analyzed and any procedural requirements are adhered to at all times.

Many investigations of accidents/incidents in aviation have revealed “human factors” to be an important element in the chain of unfortunate events.
