Fuel Tank Safety Phase 1 /2
 

The Fuel Tank Safety Training is a classroom training solution for maintenance personnel as required by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and other authorities.

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

The Phase 1 Awareness Training is designed for persons representing the maintenance management structure, quality managers and the staff required to quality monitor the organisation. The attendants learn typical terms, the basic elements of the fuel tank safety issues including the required description of the historical background and all elements related to safety.

The Phase 2 Detailed Training meets the requirements for personnel involved in management and review of the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and personnel required to plan, perform, supervise, inspect and certify the maintenance of aircraft and fuel system components. This training includes all Phase 1 topics, emphasises the technical issue but also includes the other required subjects. This course includes an examination at the end as requested according EASA.
