LOSA Incident Management Course
About our
The LOSA Incident Management Course provides comprehensive training on the Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) methodology, a proactive process for operational safety management. It trains participants in the systematic observation of flight operations to identify risks and contributing factors to errors, using data analysis tools and human factors (HF) assessment. The course emphasizes the application of LOSA as a tool to improve safety culture, reduce incidents, and optimize operational procedures, aligning with international aviation regulations.
Participants learn to design and implement LOSA programs, including data collection, error pattern analysis, and the development of recommendations for incident prevention. The importance of anonymity and confidentiality is addressed to encourage participation and voluntary reporting. The course prepares professionals for roles in operational safety, risk management, and flight supervision, contributing to the continuous improvement of safety in the aviation industry.
