The European Aviation Institute has successfully delivered an interactive EASA Part-IS Aviation Cybersecurity training session, organized in the context of the upcoming entry into force of the European EASA Part-IS regulation for aviation organizations starting 22 February. The session was conducted in collaboration with JETAV Flight Academy.
The course brought together aviation professionals seeking to prepare for the new regulatory requirements and focused on both regulatory understanding and practical application. Participants were encouraged to move beyond theory and actively engage with Part-IS requirements in realistic operational scenarios.
A key highlight of the training was a simulated authorization audit, developed around a structured scenario in which participants were divided into auditors and auditees, allowing them to experience both perspectives of the oversight and authorization process under the new regulatory framework.
Throughout the training, participants strengthened their competencies through a balanced mix of theoretical input and practical activities, covering in particular:
- a clear understanding of the EASA Part-IS regulatory framework and its implications for aviation organizations;
- familiarization with IT&C fundamentals and basic networking concepts relevant to information security;
- identification of cyber threats and vulnerabilities specific to the aviation environment;
- implementation of protective measures and effective security incident management;
- development of practical skills through audit simulations and hands-on evaluations based on realistic scenarios.
The high level of interaction and engagement confirmed the value of an experiential, practice-oriented training approach, supporting aviation organizations in preparing for authorization, compliance, and ongoing oversight as the EASA Part-IS regulation becomes applicable from 22 February.
