Modern aviation safety is built on the hard-learned lessons of the past. Historical events such as the TWA Flight 800 accident showed that fuel tanks need dedicated safety protocols. Regulators responded with strict design, maintenance and operational constraints to stop ignition sources ever developing inside or near a fuel tank.
For quality managers, quality auditors, authority oversight personnel and CAMO management staff. Establishes the historical context, the theoretical risks of fuel-air mixtures and the regulatory background, including SFAR 88 and TGL 47.
For certifying staff, support staff, technicians and CAMO planners who plan or perform work on or near fuel systems. A technical dive into practical maintenance, ignition hazards, inspection standards and the requirements of CDCCL.
For an explosion inside a tank you need fuel, oxygen and an ignition source. Because fuel vapour and oxygen cannot always be removed from a tank, preventing ignition sources is the primary line of defence. This course shows exactly how that defence is protected.
Chronological analysis of the key accidents and the regulatory reaction, including SFAR 88 and INT/POL/25/12.
The behaviour of fuel-air mixtures under varying temperatures, pressures and environmental conditions.
Technical overview of inerting systems, including nitrogen generation systems.
Spotting, understanding and strictly maintaining Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations and Airworthiness Limitation Items.
Best practice for electrical wiring adjacent to fuel systems, to prevent electrical arcing.
Peer-reviewed to pass a national aviation authority or EASA audit.
Includes the EASA-mandated end-of-course examination, with a minimum 75% pass mark for Phase 2.
A personalised, audit-ready certificate downloadable immediately on completion.
Run Phase 1 for oversight staff and Phase 2 for hands-on personnel without changing supplier.
