Bombardier’s four-day Safety Standdown seminar, held last month in  Wichita, was fully booked. A new format was launched this year,  featuring two days of workshops and two days of general sessions. New on  the agenda at this 14th annual edition were workshops on aviation  meteorology, human performance, advanced aerodynamics and aviation  leaders/managers, the last-mentioned focusing on establishing benchmarks  for professional ethics. Among the return presenters were Gene Cernan, U.S. Navy (ret.) and commander of Apollo  17; NTSB member Dr. Mark Rosekind; Dr. Tony Kern, CEO and senior partner  at Convergent Performance; and Sean Roberts, director of the National  Test Pilot School. The free event was held in partnership with NBAA, the  European Business Aviation Association, the FAA and the NTSB.
