Human Factors Training

 

For Aircraft Maintenance and Ramp/Airside Operations

 

 

     The Aviation Consulting Group is a worldwide leading provider of aviation Human Factors (HF) training. We offer HF courses for aircraft maintenance as well as ramp/airside operations. Our HF courses have been approved by regulators and CAA's worldwide (including FAA, Transport Canada, and EASA) and are also approved for FAA I/A renewals and the FAA AMT Awards Program.

 

     The Flight Safety Foundation (Lacagnina, 2007) estimates that the airline industry worldwide is losing $5 billion a year in direct and indirect costs associated with aircraft damage on the ramp. It is further estimated that 243,000 people are injured on the ramp every year. The majority of these financial losses and on-the-job injuries are due to human factors (HF) issues and almost all of them are preventable!

    

     When it comes to HF training, a soft skills subject, the most effective delivery method is face-to-face with a live facilitator. Our highly experienced facilitators present timely, research-based topics, guide discussions, and interject lots of anecdote (as well as some humor). A face-to-face class also allows greater interaction between attendees through personal experiences, large/small group exercises, activities, and case studies. Additionally, a live facilitator can answer student questions in real time. These are just some of the benefits of face-to-face training versus online or computer-based training.

    

     TACG delivers cost-effective, schedule-friendly HF courses to organizations ranging from small, family-owned turbine repair facilities all the way up to some of the largest aviation companies in the world. In fact, we can help your large organization develop its own self-sustaining HF program like we've done with Cessna Aircraft (see case study below).

 

Case Study

 

     In the spring of 2006, Cessna Aircraft contacted TACG to explore the possibility of implementing a human factors training program for all of its facilities (2300+ employees). After a formal presentation/interview, Cessna chose TACG, on a 6 month contractual basis, to develop and implement its human factors training program. TACG president Dr. Bob Baron developed the program on a highly collaborative basis with high-level Cessna training personnel. The human factors program included development of customized training media, train-the-trainer courses and assessment methods. Dr. Baron received excellent feedback on this major project and Cessna Aircraft has been cited in the media as having a “world class” human factors training program for its employees (cited in Aviation Maintenance Magazine, January 2009).
