See something.
Say something.

A strong safety culture depends on people speaking up. If you identify a hazard, occurrence, near miss or concern connected with our training activities, tell us — openly or without providing your name.

Safety begins before an event becomes an accident

Reporting is one of the most valuable tools in aviation.

Small observations can reveal larger risks. We encourage students, instructors, staff, partners and other persons connected with our activities to report anything that could affect safety. Reports are evaluated as part of our management system so that hazards can be assessed, trends identified and proportionate actions taken.

01 — Report early

Hazards & unsafe conditions

Tell us about conditions that could lead to an unsafe outcome even when nothing has happened yet.

02 — Learn from events

Occurrences & near misses

Report events, errors, procedural weaknesses or near misses that may help us prevent recurrence.

03 — Speak freely

Concerns & observations

If something feels wrong, unclear or unnecessarily risky, we would rather hear about it than miss an early warning.

What to report

If it may affect aviation safety, we want to know.

Training & instructionUnsafe practices, unclear instructions, syllabus or training-process concerns.
Facilities, systems & equipmentTechnical, organisational or environmental hazards affecting training or examinations.
Human factorsFatigue, workload, communication, distraction, pressure or other factors that can increase risk.
Procedures & complianceWeaknesses in procedures, documentation, handovers or safety barriers.
Anything elseYou do not need to classify the issue perfectly. Describe what you observed and why it matters.

Safety report

Tell us what happened — or what could happen.

You may submit the form without giving your name or email address. Please describe the event or concern as factually as possible. Do not include personal information that is not necessary for the safety assessment.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
Important: This internal safety channel does not replace any mandatory occurrence-reporting obligation that may apply to you personally under Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 or other applicable rules. If immediate action is required to protect life or property, use the appropriate emergency or operational channels first.
Safety is a shared responsibility

The report you submit today may prevent the event that never has to happen.

Thank you for helping us protect students, instructors, staff and the wider aviation community.

Mandatory and voluntary reporting is handled in accordance with the applicable Part-ORA framework and Regulation (EU) No 376/2014.
