Course Overview
Aviation safety is a chain, and ground operations, cabin crew, and flight crews are often the first line of defense.
While you may never touch a wire stripper, your daily operations put you in direct proximity to the aircraft’s critical electrical systems. EASA AMC 20-22 mandates that anyone operating in or around the aircraft understands the vulnerabilities of the Electrical Wiring Interconnect System (EWIS). This high-efficiency, high-fidelity course targets EWIS Target Groups 6, 7, and 8. This course is a subset of Raven’s EWIS Target Groups 1 and 2 Course which covers all AMC20-22 modules.
The focus here is entirely on “Look, Don’t Touch, and Report.” We strip away the engineering theory and focus on operational realities. A cabin crew member will learn to identify the early warning signs of an electrical arc. A baggage handler will understand why slamming cargo into a ceiling panel can ground an aircraft. A cleaner will learn why spraying harsh solvents near avionics racks creates latent, catastrophic failures.
Whether you are onboarding a new class of cabin crew or ensuring your ground handling company remains compliant, this course delivers exact regulatory compliance without wasting a minute of operational time.
Target Audience
This course is engineered for high-volume operational environments and precisely satisfies the EASA AMC 20-22 regulatory requirements for:
- Target Group 6 (Other service staff with duties in proximity to EWIS): Ground handling personnel, aircraft cleaners, cargo loaders, and de-icing operators.
- Target Group 7 (Flight Crew): Pilots and flight engineers who monitor system health and conduct external pre-flight walkarounds.
- Target Group 8 (Cabin Crew): Flight attendants who manage the cabin environment and are often the first to detect unusual odors, smoke, or physical damage in the passenger cabin.
Key Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this streamlined course, learners will achieve the following practical outcomes:
Knowledge
- Basic EWIS Awareness: Understand what EWIS is and why it is treated as a sensitive, primary safety system on modern aircraft.
- Hazard Recognition: Learn to identify the visual and olfactory signs of EWIS distress, such as the distinct smell of burning insulation or the presence of smoke.
- Contamination Risks: Understand how everyday items like coffee spills, de-icing fluid, and cleaning chemicals can severely damage hidden electrical components.
Skills
- Proximity Protection: Apply best practices for working around wiring during cargo loading, cabin cleaning, and ground servicing to prevent physical damage.
- Pre-Flight Vigilance (Flight Crew): Identify obvious, gross external wiring damage or fluid leaks during routine walkarounds.
- Cabin Monitoring (Cabin Crew): Recognize and isolate potential electrical hazards within the passenger cabin and galley environments.
Competence
- Incident Reporting: Confidently and accurately report suspected EWIS damage or hazards to the flight deck or Part-145 maintenance personnel.
- Operational Safety: Execute daily duties without inadvertently compromising the aircraft’s electrical integrity.
