Introduction
Airport technicians play a vital role in keeping flights safe and on schedule. In Somalia’s growing aviation sector, mastering key safety skills reduces risks and builds trust with passengers and airlines. Here are the five skills every technician should have—and how SAS-CF’s courses ensure you’re fully prepared.
1. Routine Equipment Inspection
Daily and weekly checks catch problems before they cause delays or accidents. Technicians must:
- Examine ground vehicles, fire trucks, and hoses for wear and damage
- Test pressure levels in firefighting equipment for leaks
- Verify calibration of fuel-dispensing and electrical systems
SAS-CF’s hands-on workshops teach proper inspection steps and reporting methods.
2. Emergency Response Protocols
Quick, organized reactions save lives in fire or fuel-spill scenarios. Essential tasks include:
- Establishing clear communication with control towers and emergency teams
- Evacuating passengers and securing perimeters
- Deploying firefighting foam and first-aid support
Live-drill simulations at SAS-CF’s training center build real-world confidence.
3. Firefighting Hose and Foam Handling
Correct hose connects and foam mixtures are critical. Technicians learn to:
- Set up and connect hoses under pressure without kinks
- Mix and apply foam at the right concentration for different fire types
- Coordinate multi-crew responses for larger incidents
Our certified instructors guide every step until full proficiency is achieved.
4. Accurate Record-Keeping
Documentation proves compliance and tracks maintenance history. Key records include:
- Inspection logs with dates, findings, and corrective actions
- Training certificates and drill performance reports
- Equipment maintenance schedules and part-replacement notes
SAS-CF trains technicians to use digital logbooks, minimizing errors and ensuring audits go smoothly.
5. Continuous Learning and Recertification
Aviation standards evolve—technicians must:
- Attend annual refresher courses on new safety protocols
- Stay updated on ICAO and IATA rule changes
- Share lessons learned in team debriefs after drills or real incidents
Our online modules and in-person clinics make staying current easy and effective.
