Participants Finalized For The October 14 Event

The NTSB has released the final agenda, including the participants’ names and affiliations, for its forum, Humans and Hardware: Preventing General Aviation Inflight Loss of Control. The event, which was announced earlier this month, will be held on October 14 in Washington, D.C.

In addition, the NTSB is inviting pilots and others in the aviation safety community to send their questions related to inflight loss of control issues to LOCForum@ntsb.gov. To be considered for inclusion, questions must be submitted via email not later than 3:00 pm ET on October 13.

“Understanding questions that pilots have will be critical to the forum’s success,” said NTSB Member Earl Weener, who will chair the event.
 
The forum will include panels on four broad areas of discussion:

• Industry and Government Perspectives and Actions;
• Human Performance and Medical Issues;
• Pilot Training Solutions; and
• Equipment and Technology Solutions.

An end-of-day roundtable beginning at 4:05 p.m. will bring back panelists from throughout the day to discuss crosscutting issues and the day’s takeaways.
 
This year’s forum offers participants a new level of digital accessibility. The forum webpage includes links to add individual panel sessions or the entire forum to calendars on computers and mobile devices. Pilots can also share the forum page with other pilots or student trainees through email or social media.
 
“We've added the new digital functionality to make it easy to share the event with other pilots,” said Weener. “Those with compatible calendar software can also save the date and time directly to their device.”
 
The forum, which will be held in the NTSB Board Room and Conference Center in Washington from 9:00 am ET to 5:00 pm ET. The forum is free and open to the public. There is no registration for this event.
