**Abstract:** In this research paper fifteen mandatory occurrence reports are analysed. The purpose of this is to highlight the learning potential incidents such as these may possess for organisations involved in aircraft maintenance and continuing airworthiness managemen<sup>t</sup> activities. The outputs from the mandatory occurrence reports are aligned in tabular form for ease of inclusion in human factors' continuation training material. A new incident learning archetype is also introduced, which intends to represent how reported incidents can be managed and translated into lessons in support of preventing event recurrence. This 'learning product' centric model visually articulates activities such as capturing the reported information, establishing causation and the iterative nature of developing a learning product.
