Approximately 100 people attended
the 3rd Annual European Safety Standdown on May 11 in Geneva,
Switzerland, indicating that safety continues to remain a high
priority for the business aviation community regardless of the
economic climate. Featured presenters included the following
aviation safety experts: Tony Kern of Convergent Performance, Sean
Roberts of the National Test Pilot School, Mark Rosekind of
Alertness Solutions and John Nance, aerospace analyst and author.
The 4th Annual European Safety Standdown will return to Geneva next
year, to be held in conjunction with the 10th anniversary of
EBACE.
Offered by Bombardier in partnership with the National Business
Aviation Association (NBAA) and European Business Aviation
Association (EBAA), the 3rd Annual European Safety Standdown is a
non-commercial effort to improve business aviation safety by
combining skill-based training with knowledge-based training. This
seminar is offered free of charge and features subject-matter
experts presenting on topics such as crew resource management,
professional airmanship, advanced aerodynamics for business
aviation and fatigue countermeasures. Safety Standdown is not
aircraft- or manufacturer-specific, and the information presented
is applicable to any aircraft flown.
Since eight out of 10 aircraft accidents are caused by human
failure, not equipment failure, Safety Standdown provides critical
information and training on topics directly related to human
performance. Additionally, this seminar provides participants with
tools to mitigate risk, improve flight department procedures and
processes, and analyze their own performance and
professionalism.
