Sofema Online (SOL) www.sofemaonline.com considers in detail the instructions and guidance for the connection and onboarding of potable water to an aircraft
Introduction
The objective is to ensure that clean, potable water is safely and efficiently onboarded to an aircraft.
>> Potable water must be carefully loaded onto an aircraft to guarantee that it is safely and efficiently onboarded to an aircraft, ensuring the health and safety of all onboard.
What functions are served by the following groups?
Sofema Online (SOL) www.sofemaonline.com takes a detailed look at the role & purpose of the Safety Groups within an EASA Compliant Part 145 Organisation.
» Safety Review Board (SRB)
» Safety Action Group (SAG)
» Safety Expert Group (SEG)
Sofema Online (SOL) www.sofemaonline.com reviews SMS objectives to comply with EASA Part 145 requirements.
Introduction
Point 145.A.200 introduces the following as key safety management processes; these are further specified in the related AMC and GM:
» Hazard identification
» Safety risk management
Review by Sofema Online (SOL) www.sofemaonline.com
Introduction – What do we mean by ALARP?
We typically accept within aviation that it is not possible for all risks to be eliminated which is why we use the term ALARP (As low as reasonably practicable).
The principle of the ALARP approach which includes a Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA):
» Essentially all efforts should be made to reduce safety risks to the lowest level possible.
Sofema Online (SOL) www.sofemaonline.com takes a deep dive into how the two business areas of Quality & Safety relate to each other.
Introduction
There are many misconceptions and misunderstandings regarding aviation Safety Management Systems (SMS) and Quality Management Systems (QMS) (Also Known as Compliance Management – CM)
The following is intended hopefully to clear up this misunderstanding regarding QMS and SMS – together they offer many common methods and techniques, but provide different outcomes and objectives:
An aeroplane shall not be dispatched after a de-icing/anti-icing operation until the aeroplane has received the following visual check by a trained and qualified person.
» This check shall cover wings, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, and fuselage.
» This check shall also include any other parts of the aeroplane on which a de-icing/anti-icing treatment was performed according to the requirements identified during the contamination check.
» The check shall be performed from points offering sufficient visibility of all prescribed surfaces (e.g. from the de-icer itself or other equipment suitable for gaining access).
Dangerous Goods Awareness Training is essential for all persons who are connected with the aviation process involving passengers, baggage & cargo.
» Awareness of what exactly constitutes Dangerous Goods is essentially to ensure the safe handling and shipping of these goods.
» Knowledge regarding responsibility & liability should be understood by every person who is involved with passengers, cargo, baggage & security of the process.
» All DG materials and products must be packed, handled, and transported in such a way as to prevent accidents.

SofemaOnline (SOL) considers the process whereby “Hazards” can be identified within the Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (Part CAMO).
Introduction
Our goal is to be in a position to capture all hazards in such a way that they can be analyzed and assessed, this is one of if not the most challenging part of the organization process.
Sofema Online (www.sofemaonline.com) considers HF exposures related to Manpower.
Introduction
Human factors issues, specifically human errors, contribute to more aircraft incidents and accidents than any other single factor. Human errors includes errors committed by maintenance personnel and others who have a direct impact on flight safety.
It is important that Organisations ensure that manpower availability is closely aligned to the specific needs. Managers and Supervisors should also be attuned to how the work environment is affecting employees to ensure harmony and balance (lack of balance can lead to fatigue & stress).
SofemaOnline takes a deep dive into Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Introduction - What Do We Mean when we talk about "Root Cause"?
This is the first challenge and typically causes must confusion across the business with some people believing there is always a “single” root cause to a particular issue or problem.
In fact, as we will quickly see there can indeed be multiple root causes associated with a single problem.
The purpose of the Root Cause Analysis is to understand the causal factors that contribute to a particular event.
As part of the proposals to be found in forthcoming regulation NPA 2019-05 (C) SMS will be introduced into the EASA 145 Environment
Presented by SofemaOnline - a service provided by Sofema Aviation Services, offering a range of EASA, FAA and other leading regulatory compliant and vocational online courses, many with voice over.
Introduction - Safety Management Systems (SMS) - Nothing New?
SMS became an ICAO requirement as of Jan 2009 and EASA is late to embed SMS within the “145” environment. However, there is a very important aspect of SMS to consider and it is this.
The fact that everyone is “familiar” with SMS is a source of potential challenge and even “danger”. Why? - Familiarity Breeds Contempt (Hear that one before?)
Ask your colleague to explain to you the difference between Hazard & Risk or The Difference between Compliance Auditing (Quality Assurance) and Safety Auditing, and you will see the point!
Introduction
Steve Bentley CEO of Sofema Aviation Services www.sassofia.com & Sofema Online www.sofemaonline.com takes a look at what the forthcoming EASA changes to Part 145 will look like and what they could mean for Quality, Safety & Management Personnel.
Name Change QM/QAM to CM
In keeping with “Management System” understanding from Regulation 965/2012, the previous role title of Quality Manager or Quality Assurance Manager is essentially dropped with the focus again on Compliance Management. So again we will see either Compliance Manager or Quality Manager responsible for Compliance.
Presented by Sofema Aviation Services (www.sassofia.com) and Sofema Online (www.sofemaonline.com)
Within the EASA Part 145 environment SMS is inextricably linked to HF working and behaviours, as well as culture and attitude within the workplace.
What does a “GOOD” Organisation look like?
Consider the following and let’s call them “Positive Organizational Characteristics”.
Steve Bentley CEO of Sofema (www.sassofia.com) looks at the challenges and obligations related to the auditing of SMS systems.
SMS is a business system just like any other, so as part of our Compliance Auditing obligations we will be looking at the following elements as suitable for our auditing activities.
a) Management
b) Documentation
c) Competence
d) Training
