IAAE Canada - AMSCR Training for any Airport or Aerodrome

This suite of AMSCR Course Packages provides training and certification based on safe and best practice and the requirements of the Aeronautics Act and current Advisory Circulars (ACs) including AC 300-019.
Requirement for continuance of AMSCR Certification:
Year 1: Complete FULL AMSCR-GRF, AMSCR-CRFI or AMSCR-CRO course
Year 2: Complete Recertification AMSCR-GRF, AMSCR-CRFI or AMSCR-CRO course
Year 3: Complete Recertification AMSCR-GRF, AMSCR-CRFI or AMSCR-CRO course
Year 4: Complete FULL AMSCR-GRF, AMSCR-CRFI or AMSCR-CRO course (three-year cycle repeats)
AMSCR-GRF Online Course Package
The new GRF subject matter is significantly more complex than the pre-GRF Canadian reporting protocols, training in the new GRF protocols is more easily accommodated in CBT learning format. Course participants can work through the multiple modules at their own pace, measure their progress with Progression Tests for each module and take breaks when they need to. A comprehensive Course Companion Handout provides the foundational reference material and opportunities to take notes.
The CBT knowledge portion contains abundant ‘scenario’ material responding to most of the common ‘what if’ questions not addressed in the regulatory or advisory material and passing the Final Knowledge Test ensures that the student is well armed to tackle the challenges of ‘real-world' reporting in ‘snow-fighting’ conditions.
In addition to the CBT knowledge portion of the course there will be a requirement for review and testing of practical skills associated with operational friction testing. Completing the practical ‘Field Test’ (in-vehicle field work) is required for certification. After adequate time to confirm familiarity with airport equipment such as the inspection vehicle and decelerometer, the practical test will be administered in accordance with procedures and a checklist provided by TTS.
Once the CBT portion and exam pass are complete and submitted to TTS along with the practical test check sheet, TTS will issue a Certificate of Qualification stating compliance with Aeronautics Act requirements.

AMSCR-CRFI Online Course Package
Although the major impact of the Canadian version of GRF has been the requirement to report runway conditions by thirds for most airports with runways exceeding 6,000 ft with commercial traffic, there are significant changes to aircraft movement surface condition and friction measurement reporting protocols for all other airports.
The comprehensive course covers all of the subjects addressed in the previous WAMSCR course plus the year-round inspection and reporting requirements for certified airports of all sizes. This training course also fulfills the requirements of non-certified aerodromes wishing to provide the same condition reporting services.
