Astrom Training Solutions has unveiled its comprehensive CBTA compliant CBT course tailored for Dangerous Goods, meticulously crafted for both pilots (category 10) and cabin crew (category 11). This endeavor is the result of a collaborative effort with esteemed subject matter expert Norman MacLeod.
The Astrom Training CBTA Dangerous Goods course stands as a meticulously structured and modular learning experience. Within its framework, detailed lessons have been carefully developed to encompass the following vital topics: a deep dive into the hazards and risks inherently tied to dangerous goods; a comprehensive overview of the intricate regulations that govern these materials; in-depth exploration of crucial facets like marking, labelling, and packaging; equipping participants with the knowledge and skills required for reporting adverse events and conducting proper data collection; in-depth understanding of the precise training requirements demanded in this domain; thorough examination of various hazard classes, enabling learners to distinguish and navigate them effectively; strategies for safely handling dangerous goods to mitigate potential risks; and detailed exploration of special cases that might require distinct approaches and considerations.
This course features role-specific competence development modules. These specialized modules provide targeted guidance on various critical aspects, including: 1) mastery of the NOTOC (Notification to Captain) procedure, a vital protocol for ensuring safety in the context of transporting dangerous goods; 2) Strategies for managing specific risks inherent in scenarios, such as handling passenger baggage containing hazardous materials; and 3) Effective response strategies for addressing adverse events both during flight and on the ground.
In addition, the course has strict adherence to the IATA CBTA (Cabin Crew and Pilot Training and Assessment) requirements. This stringent alignment ensures that pilots and cabin crew undergo training that meets the highest industry standards, fostering competence, safety, and excellence.

This integration represents a huge leap forward in simplifying administrative tasks, making billing more efficient and convenient than ever before.
Flight schools around the world rely on QuickBooks for their accounting needs. Recognizing the importance of streamlining billing operations, FlightLogger has seamlessly integrated with QuickBooks to create a symbiotic solution that minimizes administrative burdens for flight training organizations.
With the FlightLogger-QuickBooks integration, the ongoing process of invoicing training and other activities has been meticulously crafted to ensure unparalleled convenience. Once enabled in FlightLogger, the integration works seamlessly to automatically generate invoice drafts whenever a flight activity is logged.

This eminimizes the need for manual data entry, reducing the potential for errors and discrepancies. Flight school administrators can simply review and verify the generated invoices before transferring them into QuickBooks. In just a few clicks, the invoice is ready to be sent to students or customers, saving valuable time and effort.
“We understand the intricate challenges faced by flight schools in managing their billing processes,” said Kenneth Jeppesen, Founder and CEO at FlightLogger. “Our integration with QuickBooks aims to alleviate these challenges by providing a seamless, automated solution that empowers flight schools to focus on what they do best – delivering exceptional training experiences.”
