Online ramp inspection training for the inspectors who carry out the checks and the operators who face them. Built on the EASA Ramp Inspection Programme, the ICAO framework and the FAA ramp check. And SAFEJETS MS to manage everything an inspection leaves behind.
Europe calls it SAFA and SACA, ICAO calls it surveillance of foreign operators, the FAA calls it a ramp check. The aircraft, the documents and the crew are the same. Our courses teach the method once and show where each regime differs.
EU Member States inspect aircraft of third-country operators (SAFA) and of EU operators (SACA) against a common checklist, and share every report.
States may inspect the aircraft and documents of foreign operators on their territory, and are expected to run a programme for doing so.
FAA aviation safety inspectors check pilots, documents and aircraft on the ramp, for US operators and for foreign air carriers serving the United States.
Three days for the people who inspect. One day for the people who get inspected. Join from anywhere, as an individual or as a whole team.
The full initial course for people who will plan, carry out and report ramp inspections.
One day for the people on the other side of the inspection: the operator.
An inspection is short and must not delay the flight without good reason. The EASA checklist sorts what the inspector looks at into five areas, and both courses go through them item by item.
A compliance and safety management system for aviation operators, with ramp inspection handled end to end inside compliance monitoring.
Log a SAFA, SACA or FAA ramp inspection as an incoming audit, from announcement to closure: on site, report received, response in progress, closed. Record the inspecting body, focal point and the authority’s report reference.
Run your own ramp checks with EASA-type checklists carrying regulation and AMC/GM references. Answer each item satisfactory, unsatisfactory or not applicable, with evidence files attached to the item.
Ramp findings use their own levels: Category 1, 2, 3A, 3B and 3C. Each gets a root cause (fishbone or 5 Whys, with optional AI suggestions), corrective and preventive action, a due date and an owner.
