Single-Pilot Safety Standdown at NBAA Convention

“Owner-flown aircraft face unique challenges such as a lack of guidance, financial support and clear safety procedures set to a standard,” said NBAA Safety Committee chairman Jim Lara. To that end, the association is conducting a full-day, single-pilot safety standdown on October 20, just before the NBAA Convention. The gathering will draw upon the experiences of pilots, with an emphasis on peer-to-peer information sharing. Safety-themed discussions will focus on issues such as runway incursions/excursions, loss of control, poor weather, ATC and human factors. All are expected to align with NBAA’s best safety practices.
