Working with ICAO Annex 14 Training Course: Ensuring Aerodrome Safety and Compliance
ICAO Annex 14, a cornerstone of international civil aviation, outlines the standards and recommended practices for the design, maintenance, and operation of aerodromes. This training course is designed to provide aviation professionals with a comprehensive and practical understanding of this critical document. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the requirements for runways, taxiways, visual aids, and rescue and firefighting services, all of which are essential for ensuring a safe and efficient airport environment. The program emphasizes the practical application of Annex 14 principles, enabling professionals to implement and maintain compliance in their day-to-day operations.
This program goes beyond the theoretical aspects of the document, focusing on the integrated strategies needed to build and sustain a world-class aerodrome management program. Through a combination of expert-led instruction, interactive workshops, and real-world case studies, you will gain hands-on experience in conducting aerodrome inspections, developing a safety management system (SMS), and coordinating with diverse stakeholders. By the end of this course, you will be a confident and skilled professional, ready to lead aerodrome management initiatives that meet and exceed international standards.
