Learning outcomes While safety has always been one of the essential components of aircraft performance, on the other hand, the recent past has shown relentlessly that the security of ground support infrastructures is no less critical.

Flight Safety intends to frame this reality in the institutional and business optics, trying to develop in the students, on the one hand, critical reasoning around the matter and, on the other hand, the competences that allow them to take the most appropriate options if they are faced with decision-making in real scenarios.
