Ensuring safety is the top priority at every airport. Therefore, it is necessary to keep up to date with practices used to assess safety related challenges at and in the vicinity of aerodromes at all times.

This 2-day recurrent training allows participants to freshen up their safety mind set and is recommended for personnel of all proficiencies working in airport safety.

Attendees will recap the basic steps of safety assessments and regulations and reapply their knowledge on a choice of examples. Our trainers will be focusing on providing the theoretical background and particularly showing a selection of practical applications of safety assessments in the aerodrome environment.

All participants will consolidate their safety knowledge and benefit from insights provided by group work and discussions. By active participation throughout this course, each participant will refresh their proficiency in assessing hazards and safety risks in the airport environment.

Attendees will conduct a number of exercises using a selection of different techniques for hazard identification and risk analysis. This may include more advanced qualitative as well as quantitative methods.

Please note: This course can be booked as an in-house version in German, English or Italian! Exercises and case studies are customisable to your individual requirements.

Trainer

Dr. iur. Chehab Salih

Chehab holds a Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Potsdam and is specialised in International Aviation Law. Within his dissertation, he discussed legal questions that arise during the demonstration of compliance at aerodromes, also focusing on challenges states face when international requirements are integrated into national legislation. 

An expert in airport operations and safety analyses, Chehab holds a Master’s degree in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from the Technical University of Berlin, with a focus on air traffic control procedures, flight operations, airport planning, and aerodynamics. Chehab has wide ranging global experience in assisting airports in developing innovative operational concepts for safe and efficient airside operations. This knowledge was gained during numerous audits and trainings he conducted on a worldwide basis. In addition, he focuses on various national research projects, for example for the German Ministry of Transport introducing SERA regulations in Germany (IFR flight operations in airspace G). 

At airsight, Chehab is responsible for the conduction of aeronautical studies with regards to aerodrome operations, air traffic control, and airport planning, including numerous compliance check studies and analyses of threats regarding implementation of new wind turbines in aerodrome vicinity. Further, Chehab is responsible for aerial service at airsight, focusing on operations of drones at aerodromes. Currently, Chehab is supporting Changi airport during the conduction of the pilot safety case aiming to prove the safe introduction of the 3rd runway.
