Bombardier Safety Standdown Puts Focus On Distraction In Aviation

Captain Eugene Cernan To Be Honored At Safety Standdown U.S.A.

Bombardier Business Aircraft's  19th annual Safety Standdown U.S.A. will take place October 6-8, at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Wichita, KS.

The Safety Standdown program will continue to tackle the risk posed to aviation safety by everyday distractions. This year’s focus will be on the practical applications of attention control techniques, building on the theoretical human factors training provided at Safety Standdown seminars in 2014.
 
“Distraction is considered to be one of the most serious threats to aviation safety by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB),” said Safety Standdown expert, Captain Al Gorthy, United States Navy (Ret.). “This year, Safety Standdown will show aviation professionals how to recognize sources of distraction and ways of disconnecting from them to avoid negative impacts on safe operations,” he added.
 
“Bombardier’s commitment to aviation safety and the Safety Standdown program is unwavering,” said Andy Nurredin, Vice President & General Manager, Customer Services.  “As an experienced airman, I know first-hand the value of the human factors training provided at Safety Standdown.”

During this year’s seminar, special recognition will be given to decorated United States Naval Aviator and former NASA Astronaut Captain Eugene A. Cernan, USN (Ret.), who has for more than a decade served on the Safety Standdown Advisory Council and as the program’s ambassador. Although Captain Cernan remains personally committed to the elimination of human errors that do emanate from the cockpit, the time has come for him to move on from his long tenure in support of Bombardier Aviation Safety Standdown and pursue other means of reminding all pilots that "good is never good enough in our world of aviation."
 
Captain Cernan’s presence at seminars around the world, where he has shared his experience and knowledge, has inspired participants to remain committed to the prevention of human errors in aviation. “I have enjoyed working with my colleagues on the Advisory Council and have benefitted enormously from an association with my peers who have attended Safety Standdown over the years. They are all dedicated professionals in their own right.”

One of the highlights of this year’s seminar will be the presentation of the last Eugene Cernan Safety Award. The 2015 recipient will be a peer-nominated professional who demonstrates steadfast commitment to aviation safety. Nominations will be accepted until July 21, 2015.
