TAG Global Training now operates a bespoke Private Staff Aircraft Safety Training course. The newly introduced syllabus has been specifically designed for private staff with no previous aviation experience who may be required to undertake duties on board an owner's aircraft, or frequently travel without cabin crew.

The half day course features aircraft safety training topics such as how to handle pilot incapacitation, the physiological effects of flying to basic fire fighting techniques and procedures for landing in water and donning life jackets, in addition to other on board essential safety components.

The Private Staff Aircraft Safety Training course is ideally suited to PAs, close protection teams, household staff and even grooms travelling with horses. In addition TAG Training also offers a tailored Yacht Crew Aircraft Safety Training module which is a must for yacht crew personnel who possess no former aviation experience but may be required to undertake on board duties. Courses are taught by the experienced in-house professional instructors at TAG Global Training who together offer many years of aviation experience with international flag carriers and take place at TAG's global training centre facility located at TAG Farnborough Airport or upon request, in private homes.

“The Private Staff Aircraft Safety Training is a brand new course to accompany the wide array of practical and theoretical TAG ground courses and academy global customised training we provide” says Debbie Elliott, training manager, TAG Global Training. “The landscape of aviation training has changed significantly in recent years. Owners of aircraft with less than 19 seats are not obligated to have cabin crew so the trusted staff of these high net worth individuals inherently undertake equivalent responsibilities. The course will therefore be of essential use and support to such personnel who are frequently required to be on board and in the event of an incident occurring they will then feel empowered with knowledge to not only help themselves to safety but also the principal and family.”

Yacht Crew Aircraft Safety Training can be delivered internationally and is suitable for all ranks, with pricing available on application. For further details of all courses, including new and refresher first aid training, crew resource management and fire and smoke training, please refer to the TAG Global Training website.
