TAKE OFF: "The introductory seminar to civil aviation" and "Basic knowledge of aeronautical engineering"

How do you actually recognise and distinguish between aircraft types? How does the aviation alphabet work? How is an aircraft put together? Modern aircraft and their components are constantly being developed; often, without the necessary background knowledge, it is difficult to understand everything. Do you work in an aviation context and need the necessary tools to be able to understand the complex interrelationships of aviation technology at your own workplace? 

Hamburg Aviation, in collaboration with Lufthansa Technical Training, offers you an introductory seminar to the civil aviation industry. In a group of no more than twelve people, you will gain fascinating insights into the detailed processes behind the realisation of a flight experience in a one-day seminar. On the second and third day, ‘Basic Aviation Technology’ provides a sound insight into the fundamental design of commercial aircraft and their complexity, which you will learn to recognise and take into account in your day-to-day work.

When: 22-24 July 2025, optional 23-24 July 2025

Location: Lufthansa Technical Training, Weg beim Jäger 193, 22335 Hamburg

Target group: All interested employees and managers without aviation-related trainingg
