The international air transport system is characterised by a complex interaction of various actors involved (e.g. airport, airline, air traffic control) and their specific technologies and operating procedures. Every aspect of aviation is defined and controlled by a comprehensive set of rules. Especially for someone new to the topic, understanding these complex procedures and rules can be very challenging.

This 4-day course aims to provide an introduction to aviation and an in-depth overview of correlations between air operations and technical matters in selected areas of responsibility of the various stakeholders.

During the course, the participants will be introduced to the national and international legal framework which are of great importance for all participating actors. Then, the functions and tasks of the different key-players (airport, airline, air traffic control) and their interaction with each other are discussed in detail. In addition, the basic procedures of flight operations are presented and explained from the point of view of all organisations involved.

The course focuses on the structure of the various organisations as well as their daily operations and interfaces between them. With the help of the participants’ input, the trainer and guest lecturers will develop aviation characteristics: What are the challenges of landside and airside flight operations at the airport? Who are the key-players? What does a day in the cockpit look like and how is it prepared? What are the operating procedures and technologies used in a flight? How do airlines interact with each other? How does air traffic control ensure safety at the airport and in the air? Which different systems are available?

These and many other questions will be solved and explained during the course with the help of practical examples, discussions and simulations (e.g. Airbus A320), giving the participants a comprehensive insight into all aspects of international aviation and the associated procedures.

Trainer

Tina Werner-Huynh

Tina holds a Master of Science in Aeronautical Engineering and has further specialised in aerodrome compliance with a focus on EU and international requirements (Reg. (EU) No 139/2014, EASA CS-ADR-DSN, ICAO Annex 14 etc.). These competencies combined, enable her to assist aerodromes within their certification process and compliance monitoring activities.

As a member of airsight’s consulting team and Aerodrome Certification department, she supports aerodrome operators worldwide by conducting compliance checks of the airside infrastructure (incl. inspections) and by auditing the aerodromes’ organisation and operations. Furthermore, her tasks encompass the review and creation of aerodrome-related documents such as manuals, procedures and training material.

For airsight, Tina has already successfully carried out projects for several airports in Germany, Cameroon, Luxembourg, Serbia, Saudi Arabia and many more. For example, she audited the Nominated Persons of a larger German Airport regarding the EU/EASA regulations – a task of several months requiring a profound knowledge of the applicable requirements as well as project management skills.
