In aviation, every ground occurrence offers an opportunity to improve safety and prevent future incidents. However, achieving this requires more than simply documenting what happened—it involves getting to the root cause and developing insightful, action-oriented reports.

Our new Ground Occurrence Investigation (GEN09) course can help investigation teams develop essential skills to conduct thorough investigations and deliver impactful findings. It is also useful for duty managers or other staff who would be first on the scene, to know what immediate actions are required. 

Why Focus on Ground Occurrence Investigation?

Ground occurrences might not always result in immediate, high-profile outcomes, but they are crucial indicators of underlying safety issues. Without proper analysis, small issues can escalate, creating larger safety risks. Investigators who understand how to look beyond surface details and identify root causes contribute to a safer, more resilient aviation environment.

Our course covers essential actions required after a ground occurrence, report writing tools, root cause analysis and corrective and preventative measures. The syllabus covers the requirements of IATA AHM1110 and includes guidance from UK CAA CAP382S.

Flexible ways to study

Our self-study distance learning version of the course can be completed online, and we can also deliver a workshop to incorporate your own company procedures.
