Yes, You May Attend
Australia’s largest-ever air safety conference is to be
held next month with thousands of people from the aviation industry
set to take part.
On-line conference to set aviation record
Almost every member of the aviation industry is
being given the chance to join the important conference either in
person or via a live, interactive internet video feed. The
interactive internet broadcast of the safety summit will take the
discussions into hangars, aircraft offices and homes across the
nation.
Under examination during the Civil Aviation Safety Authority
conference is a suite of proposed new air safety rules covering
flying operations, flying training and flight crew licensing. These
rules will set the safety framework for key areas of Australian
aviation for the first part of this Century. The new rules are
scheduled to go before Federal Parliament at the end of this
year.
Hundreds of pilots, airline managers, aircraft owners, flying
instructors and testing officers will take part in person in
discussions on the new rules at the Sydney Convention Centre from 3
– 5 March. Thousands of others from capital cities, regional
centres and rural areas will watch, listen, ask questions and make
comments in real time using the internet feed.
To join the interactive internet sessions people will simply be
asked to register, obtaining the required web address and access
instructions. (The minimum technical requirement will be a 56K
modem.)
CASA’s executive manager Standards, Bill
McIntyre, says the internet broadcast is a first for the aviation
industry. "No one has ever offered the chance for almost every
person in the aviation industry to actively join in detailed work
on new safety rules at one conference," Mr McIntyre says.
Cutting edge technology is inclusive.
"This is not just a chance for people on the internet to watch
and listen; they will be live players in the discussions through
questions and comments. The technology to achieve this has only
just started to be used in Australia, and CASA is proud to be a
leader in bringing people together on this scale."
