Bombardier’s Safety Standdown Scheduled for October
The 11th annual Safety Standdown 2007 will take place in Wichita, Kansas, on October 23-25 (register by September 22).
Bombardier’s Safety Standdown sessions combine skill-based and knowledge-based training. The Standdown is not manufacturer specific, and applies to any aircraft currently flown.
According to the web site:
“For the past 30+ years this industry has trained its pilots on checkrides and systems in near exclusivity. Human factors, while well understood, are rarely taught. Since eight out of ten accidents are caused by human failure, not equipment failure, Safety Standdown provides critical information and training, which is directly related to human performance. Safety Standdown is designed to change the way you think about safety. Additionally, this seminar provides you with tools to improve risk mitigation, department procedures ad processes, and give clear and distinct pathways for introspective analysis of your own professionalism.”
The FAA and NBAA, as well as the NTSB for the U.S. program and the EBAA for the European program, support the Safety Standdown, which is free.
