Online Training Tool Available To The Public At No Charge
The National Air Transportation Association's (NATA) Safety
1st program, together with the Port Authority of New York and New
Jersey, have launched NATA's Safety 1st Flight Crew Briefing for
Newark Liberty International Airport, a customized online training
tool that provides pilots and other flight crew members flying into
and out of Newark Liberty International Airport free access to
critical safety information about the airport, including its
location, layout, operations, regulations, and safety and security
procedures.
Using interactive graphics, NATA's Safety 1st Flight Crew
Briefing presents pilots with views of runway incursion hot spots,
scenarios representing common pilot errors, security procedures,
and other information that is critical to safe aircraft
operations.
The Newark Liberty International Airport training tool is
available to any interested person at no charge.
NATA launched NATA's Safety 1st Flight Crew Briefing for
Teterboro Airport in June 2008. Since the training tool's
inception, more than 250,000 "hits" have been recorded. "We are
thrilled at the industry's acceptance, use and promotion of this
effective educational and safety tool," remarked NATA President
James K. Coyne. "The Newark Liberty International Airport module is
a critical addition to this aviation safety initiative because the
airport sees such varied types of aircraft traffic. We are also
confident the Newark briefing will make great strides to prove the
airport's commitment to safety to flight crews and members of the
surrounding community as the Teterboro module has done."

Several aircraft operators are requiring their flight
crewmembers to complete the Teterboro Airport course as part of
their pilot training. "We have noticed a widespread interest
in NATA's Safety 1st Flight Crew Briefings as word of their
importance has traveled to industry conferences and events.
Crewmembers and pilots of all experience are discovering that they
have much to gain through the Teterboro briefing and they've asked
when more will be offered. We are pleased to make the Newark
training available at this time and report that the FAA and other
airport operators are interested in facilitating the development of
additional modules," Coyne said.
Airports or aircraft operators interested in developing a
similar module should contact NATA Vice President of Government and
Industry Affairs Eric R. Byer at NATA.
