What is the purpose of the FFP: The Buck Stops with Me course?
While aviation maintenance personnel are fully aware of the consequences of failing to follow procedures – and have likely received training on this issue – FFP continues to be one of the leading safety issues in aviation maintenance.
In a recent article, Dr. Bill Johnson stated that "FFP is not a technical issue. It is a culture issue about attitude and commitment." This course is designed to help aviation maintenance personnel to better understand and appreciate how an organization's culture affects safety with respect to FFP by focusing on the culture of procedure following.
How do I get credit for the course?
The Learning Management System will track your progress and provide course completion credit after you have viewed each page of the course.
Do I have to complete the course in one sitting?
No. The Learning Management System tracks the progress you make in the course. Be sure to exit appropriately, using the Exit button in the course, and you should be returned to the place you left off in the course from your last session.
How do I make sure my progress in the course is saved if I need to quit and come back later?
Make sure you always exit the course by clicking the Exit button, located in slide-out menu that’s accessed by the button in the top-right corner of the page. Simply closing the browser window may not save your data.
How do I know what to select?
Selectable graphics are identified by a plus sign in the lower-right corner of the image, and the cursor will change to a pointing hand when positioned over a selectable graphic. Also, bold text is selectable and allows you to view more information about a topic. Always read the instructions in the prompt area at the bottom of each page to ensure that you don't miss any information.
When I select a link or a graphic, nothing happens. Why?
You may need to set your browser to allow popups in order for some information to appear.
Keep in mind that many of the graphics are not selectable. The cursor will change to a pointing hand when positioned over a selectable link or graphic.
