*5.3. Learning Product*

Aircraft maintenance and managemen<sup>t</sup> regulatory codes require reporting of 'any identified condition of the aircraft or component that has resulted or may result in an unsafe condition that hazards seriously the flight safety' [4]. Generally, a learning product can originate from numerous information sources within the

aircraft maintenance and continuing airworthiness managemen<sup>t</sup> arena. Specifically, GM1 145.A.30(e) [4] requires the use of accident and incident reports in support of the mandatory human factors training content. The intent of this material is to ensure information is imparted upon the organisations' staff in support of preventing the subject event reoccurrence. Such continuation training is mandated by European requirements for all aircraft maintenance and continuing airworthiness managemen<sup>t</sup> organisations. Continuation training is also a product as well as a medium for imparting learning from incidents. Inputs to continuation training syllabi often feature learning from incidents and experience augmented by safety notices, toolbox talks and are recognised as a means of presenting the learning product to operational staff. Drupsteen and Guldenmund [16] cite, 'Lampel et al. [37] where they use the term "learning about events"'. This is further explained as 'information about events is shared and diffused to help create new ideas', in this case in the support of safe operations.
