Bombardier today opened registration for its Safety Standdown scheduled for November 7 to 9 at the Hyatt Regency in Wichita. Held under the theme “Integrity in Safety,” the event is free of charge for aviation professionals in all fields, but registrations are limited.
The first-day agenda includes a session titled “Fatigue Risk Management: Visibility and Control,” presented by Pulsar Infomatics CEO Daniel Mollicone. Other sessions that day include integrity in the flight department, runway excursion prevention, FOQA fundamentals, and the coming safety management system mandate.
On the second day, the event kicks off with a session on “Reducing Surface Risk in the National Airspace System” presented by FAA runway safety program manager Scott Proudfoot and National Air Traffic Controllers Association runway safety representative Bridget Singratanakul. The session will focus on statistics related to runway incursions, what leads to a runway incursion, and the tools available to reduce the risk associated with them.
Workshops include “The Pilot Brain: How Personality Affects Safety,” which will cover the basics of how observable behaviors guide internal thought processes and how pilot personalities can affect safety culture and actions during an emergency.
Day-three workshops will feature subjects such as quality assurance in aviation fuel and breaking down the communication barrier between pilot and maintenance personnel.
Bombardier also will make all the event’s general sessions and select workshops available for viewing online.
