Target Group
This TEM online training complements CQFA's Light UAV Professional Pilot Course and as such, is offered at no additional cost to registered participants.

 


Objective
Threat and Error Management is CQFA's signature training initiated by Capt. Frank Tullo. It introduces the concept of "Threats", those things that are the precursors to errors that may decrease safety margins in aviation. The TEM system uses established behavioral markers that will assist in creating "Strategies" that will prevent threats from leading to errors and negative consequences. The course provides an applied, practical approach to explaining TEM principles. Threat and error management is an invaluable tool in professional UAV operations creation and compliments any effort to identify hazards in any operation. Other Human Factors models are also studied in this course and used in real-life UAV accident analysis. Candidates are guided in three analysis processes of the same scenarios and discover valuable lessons.

Educational Approach
This online TEM training uses tutorials, a quiz and an exam to complement the Light UAV Professional Pilot Course offered by the CQFA, at no additional cost. The accidents presented in the course happened for real. It takes 2 hours to complete and presents the origins of TEM and offers the knowledge to implement TEM in your daily UAV operations.
