MobileThis comprehensive online training provides essential knowledge on Fatigue Risk Management (FRM) for both EASA Part-145 maintenance organisations and flight operations personnel, ensuring compliance with relevant EASA regulations, including 145.A.47, ORO.FTL.110, and ORO.FTL.120, along with their associated AMC/GM guidance materials.
The course is offered in two tailored variants to meet the specific needs of different roles in aviation:
Maintenance Variant – For personnel working under EASA Part-145, focusing on fatigue risks in maintenance environments.
Flight Operations Variant – For flight crew and operational staff, addressing fatigue in the context of commercial air transport operations.
Designed to enhance awareness, identification, and management of fatigue-related risks, this course helps improve safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance across both maintenance and operational environments.
This course aligns with EASA’s regulatory framework and serves as an acceptable means of compliance with:
145.A.47 – Fatigue Management for Maintenance Organisations
AMC1 145.A.47 – Fatigue Management Principles
GM1 145.A.47 – Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) Guidance
ORO.FTL.110 – Operator’s Responsibilities for FRM
ORO.FTL.120 – Fatigue Management Training
AMC1 ORO.FTL.110 – Fatigue Management Principles
