The Institute supports FAA, Department of Defense, International countries, and the Interagency Committee for Aviation Policy's efforts to reduce death, injury, and property damage caused by aircraft accidents and incidents. The aviation safety program provides accident investigation and aviation safety training to FAA personnel and others within the Federal government and the aviation industry. The staff maintains liaison with FAA, NTSB, and the transportation industry to keep abreast of technological developments, thus ensuring training materials presented, are consistent with advancements. Training includes classroom lectures, workshops, field activities, individual studies, review of FAA policies, dealing with the news media, and accident report writing. Students must attend and complete classroom hours and submit a graduate level paper.
Requirements can vary for each course.
To assist students in acquiring a graduate degree, the Aviation Safety Division, in conjunction with CMSU, has teamed with the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center's Interactive Video Teletraining Facility in making available CMSU's Masters of Science Degree in Aviation Safety Program. This two-year program, offered through the FAA's Aviation Training Network, creates the opportunity for FAA employees to acquire ongoing professional education and achieve personal growth. The Aviation Safety Division will provide training and technical assistance to meet the specific individual needs of agencies or organizations with aviation safety programs. We will provide technical assistance in the development and implementation of aviation safety programs and the evaluation of these programs through non-threatening audits or surveys. We are here to support you.
