LASC Overview
The LASC is a safety training facility administered by Pontificia Universidad Javeriana through the Hub Aeronautico, which is one of the oldest, most traditional and prestigious Colombian universities. The Hub Aeronautico offers an Aviation Safety Certificate (ASC) programme that supports the aviation industry to enhance operational safety, risk and compliance through educating aviation personnel in safety management principles. All courses are delivered in Spanish and at reduced costs compared to similar offerings in other regions.
The courses are facilitated by recognised industry experts with program content based on ICAO Annex 19 (Safety Management), Doc 9859 (Safety Management Manual), quality management principles and industry best practices. This certificate programme will offer the aviation industry initial and advanced training in matters of safe and compliant operation. Since the programme is based on international aviation regulations, it is well suited to any operator wherever it is based, no matter which local regulations apply to their particular activity. Therefore, it is open to airlines, Fixed Based Operators (FBOs), aeronautical authorities, air navigation services providers, ground handling operations, fuelling companies, Maintenance and Repair Organisations (MRO) and the industry at large.
The Hub Aeronautico has the opportunity to address safety/risk management issues in the region and is an extremely important initiative that has been endorsed by many organisations in the area.
2024 Courses
In 2023, we offered our flagship course Aviation Safety Management Systems training; this year we will be offering an additional five courses which will allow us to continue providing the ASC programme for the region.
Operational Risk Management Training
Javeriana Campus, Bogota, 17-20 September 2024
This module will be completed in a classroom setting and provides an overview of safety risk management principles, hazard identification, risk assessment techniques, causal factor analysis and risk mitigation and control strategies. The course covers enterprise and operational risk management and its relation to SMS as well as risk-based governance and decision making by management teams of aviation organisations. Practical tools will be introduced such as Bow-Tie and ARMS methodology and causal factor analysis techniques supporting the risk-informed governance process. The course will include exercise sessions to support the application of the tools in an operational environment.
Incident / Accident Investigation Training
Javeriana Campus, Bogota, 15-18 October 2024
ICAO Annex 13 defines an investigation as a process conducted for the purpose of accident prevention which includes the gathering and analysis of information, the drawing of conclusions, the determination of causes and, when appropriate, the making of safety recommendations.
This course will be completed in a classroom setting and provides an overview of ICAO Annex 13 and the methods and skills required to investigate incidents and accidents; it is designed for individuals who have limited investigation experience. Material covered includes how to plan and conduct investigations, the difference between accidents and incidents, the importance of conducting thorough investigations, report writing and how to effectively incorporate the resulting safety recommendations into the organisation. Practical application of the tools will be accomplished to ensure the material is understood.
Aviation Technical Regulations
Virtual, 05-07 November 2024
The Chicago Convention (also known as the Convention on International Civil Aviation), established the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), a specialised agency of the United Nations charged with coordinating and regulating international air travel. The Convention was signed by 52 states on 7 December 1944 in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., and came into effect on 4 April 1947. Following this came the initial introduction of ICAO Safety Management related SARPs, across multiple ICAO Annexes. The safety management SARPs are intended to assist States in managing aviation safety risks, in coordination with their Service Providers. Given the increasing complexity of the global air transportation system and its interrelated aviation activities required to assure the safe operation of aircraft, the safety management provisions support the continued evolution of a proactive strategy to improve safety performance. The foundation of this proactive safety strategy is based on the implementation of a State safety programme (SSP) that systematically addresses safety risks, in agreement with the implementation of the safety management systems (SMS) by the service providers. This course will be completed virtually and reviews the establishment of ICAO, and the SARPS as they pertain to managing aviation risks and the areas subject to regulatory activities covered by the annexes to the convention.
Aviation and the Environment
Virtual, 27-28 November 2024
CORSIA offers a harmonised way to reduce emissions from international aviation, minimising market distortion, while respecting the special circumstances and respective capabilities of ICAO Member States. CORSIA complements the other measures by offsetting the amount of CO2 emissions that cannot be reduced through the use of technological improvements, operational improvements, and sustainable aviation fuels, with emissions units from the carbon market.
This course will be completed virtually and covers:
- Regulation related to the operation of aircraft.
- Structure and aspects of the CORSIA scheme.
- Regulation related to the operation of aerodromes.
Safety Performance & Governance
Virtual, 04-05 December 2024
Safety Planning and Governance represents a core function of the Safety Management System (SMS) that enables the setting of an organisation's safety objectives and targets, oversight and monitoring of the safety system as well as the identification of the necessary means and resources for continuous improvement of safety performance. The development of a safety plan for an organisation provides a common framework for the strategy, objectives and safety targets for all stakeholders. It also provides the roadmap from initial engagement, communication of stakeholder plans and governance/control for the successful delivery of safety initiatives. This course will be completed virtually, providing an overview of Safety Planning and the methodology to include safety within the corporate strategy and initiatives. Information will be provided on performance indicators and oversight of safety programs.
