Trainings

The Users Conference is primarily intended for customers from both Plane Sciences and AIRINC to share experiences in an open forum about flight data-related products and services including accident investigation, airline FOQA/FDM/FDA safety prevention programs, military use of flight data and use of flight data for maintenance for both fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

1. Example: MARS experience was shared by PNGAIC. AIC was the first customer to use MARS in a big accident

2. Example: FAS experience was shared by Airbus.

The User Training was a joint training conducted by Plane Sciences and ARINC on how to use its software product and how the software interfaces with each other.

The software covered during the training were;

• Flight Data Management (FDM) – 3 June 2019

• Insight Analysis- 4 June 2019

• Insight Animation- 5 June 2019

• Part 1: Flight Analysis System (FAS) - 6 June 2019

• Part 2: Flight Analysis System (FAS)-7 June 2019

Facilitator: ATSB (Australian Transport Safety Bureau)

​Course Summary: This course has been designed for those who are responsible for leading others, be it individuals, teams or whole organisations. Time is spent analysing self, one’s values, what motivates them and a personal leadership style. After all, we cannot lead others if we are not first a disciplined self-leader…

For any person to be an effective manager and leader of others they must first be an effective manager and leader of self!

The key principles of leadership and management are developed and practically applied in this highly engaging course. Participants will develop new leadership skills as well as gaining a deeper insight into their own style and leadership.

Course Summary: Basic understanding of pilot aircraft operations. It introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that will be needed as they progress in their pilot training.

• aircraft components, systems and principles of flight

• aircraft performance and human performance

• meteorology - general principles of weather formation

• navigation methods, pilotage, dead reckoning and aircraft navigation systems

• air law and regulations

Facilitator: Richard Milner

Course Summary:
This course was designed to teach drone operators to be compliant with. For someone that is new to aviation, this can be a daunting and easily misunderstood task.
This course taught how to use your drone but also how to do so safely and within the rule framework.
It taught us to keep yourself and others safe and have fun.
If you plan on using a drone commercially it is important to understand that all employers are responsible to ensure that staff and/ or contractors are trained to use all plant and equipment in the workplace and this includes drones. Upon completion of this course we gained a certificate of competency which meets this requirement.
If operating within 4km of Airports and helipads you must also complete a course of training to make your flights legal.

ECCAIRS TECHNICAL TRAINING 
The technical course is aimed at those who will install and administer, from a technical point of view, the ECCAIRS system. This course covers the installation, setup, and management of the ECCAIRS system.

ECCAIRS END USER TRAINING 
The end-user course is aimed at participants who will input the safety data into the ECCAIRS system or interrogate the system for safety analysis purposes. This course covers Accident/Incident Data Reporting (ADREP) taxonomy, as well as hands-on experience of ECCAIRS as a tool used to code, enter, extract or analyze safety data.
