Enable your team to operate with confidence

Overflight Risk Management Training

Osprey’s training programmes equip aviation professionals with the knowledge and analytical skills to assess conflict zone risk, interpret intelligence, and make informed operational decisions.

Equipping aviation professionals with the knowledge to manage conflict zone risk systematically

Whether you work in commercial airlines, cargo operations, or business aviation, Osprey’s training programmes deliver the technical grounding, analytical frameworks, and decision-making skills to assess overflight risk with confidence. Our courses are built on primary regulatory sources including ICAO Doc 10084 and cover the full scope of the risk management process, from threat identification through to operational mitigation.

Understand the full threat environment

Conflict zones present risks from air-defence artillery, Man-Portable Air-Defence Systems (MANPADS), surface-to-air missiles, loitering munitions, and electronic warfare. Osprey’s training ensures practitioners understand how each system creates direct and indirect threats to civil aviation, including the risk of misidentification.

Apply structured risk assessment methods

Participants learn to apply the ICAO Safety Management Manual (Doc 9859) probability and severity framework alongside a criteria-based approach covering capability, intent, operational factors, and airspace conditions, supporting consistent and audit-ready risk assessments. 

Interpret intelligence and act on early signals

OSINT extends far beyond media reporting. Osprey’s training covers satellite imagery, thermal data, ADS-B tracking, and radio-frequency monitoring, teaching practitioners to identify escalation and de-escalation indicators and translate them into timely operational decisions. 

Make defensible decisions under operational pressure

Effective overflight risk management requires a structured decision-making process, clear roles and responsibilities, and documented mitigation measures. Osprey’s training equips teams to define escalation triggers and ensure decisions meet the standards required by ICAO, IATA, and insurers.
