The 1-day Practical training will take place at the KLM technical facilities located at Schiphol Amsterdam Airport. A wide body aircraft will be available for the purpose of the mandatory practical training. As much as possible check- items, discussed during the theoretical part of the I&P training, will be demonstrated at the aircraft.

By following the Dangerous Goods practical case study, the participant will understand all elements from the KEY 10 IATA/ICAO training and he/she will know how to inspect these items in daily practice. To this end, the training course will present:

History of the regulations (ICAO Annex 18, Technical Instruction 9284, IATA DG manual) and general philosophy;
List of Dangerous Goods;
Specific responsibilities of airline operators (incl. training);
Acceptance and storage, inspection markings, labeling and marking;
Inspection documentation (i.e. shipper's declaration, NITOPIC/NOTOC/NOTAC, emergency schedules);
Storage and Loading Procedures;
Pilots’ notification;
Provisions for passengers and crew;
Inspection for damage or leakage;
Loading restrictions - Cabin and general (segregation, CAO labeled cargo);
Securing cargo;
Common SAFA Dangerous Goods findings;
SAFA DG inspection methodology

The main standards used, as a reference for the EU Ramp Inspector, are published in the ICAO Annexes (mainly 1, 6, and 8 for SAFA (foreign) inspection and EU/EASA regulation for SACA (community) inspection).

The case study gives an overview of Dangerous Goods (DG). What it is, what are the related requirements, what is the overall process and who is involved in the transportation of DG. After this general overview, the class will be divided into real Ramp inspection teams and these teams will handle the case by fulfilling practical and technical inspection items in a practical “live” class facility with dangerous goods presented ready for carriage in an aeroplane. All of the case study elements are presented from the perspective of the Ramp inspector and addresses the applicable ICAO regulations, the inspection procedures including what to look for, where to inspect, and appropriate actions to take in the event of non-compliance.

Course prerequisites
