Course topics include active shooter survival, enhanced hotel security, rideshare vulnerabilities, personal protection and more.

Strengthening Safety Culture With Performance Evaluations

Set for Oct. 17, this course will show attendees how to capitalize on a team’s individual strengths while maintaining a strong safety culture. Miscommunication will be demystified, and the root causes of assumptions will be shared. The course will walk attendees through the performance evaluation process step-by-step, from planning performance based on agreed-upon indicators to the types of questions to ask when mentoring and coaching employees.

Management Fundamentals for Flight Departments

This two-day workshop, set for Oct. 16-17, gives flight department managers key information about safe operations, regulatory compliance, basic management practices, budgeting and accounting, cost controls, vendor selection and tracking, records and reports, planning for the future and more. Other topics include personnel issues, internal and external communications, case studies, and templates, forms and checklists that are useful in daily flight management.

SMS for Business Aviation

This Oct. 17 session will provide a thorough review of safety management systems (sms), including benefits, objectives, risk management, safety assurance and promotion. Both faa and icao guidance will be reviewed.
