NBAA Committee Issues New List of Business Aviation Safety Priorities

The way we think about business aviation safety continues to evolve, and the NBAA Safety Committee has again put together its list of Top Safety Focus Areas. For 2017, there are eight items on list, including loss of control inflight, runway excursions, distractions and risk-based training. “This is the list of things that really, truly challenge the industry from a safety perspective,” said Safety Committee Chairman David Ryan. The committee also created “five foundations of safety,” to compliment the Top Safety Focus Areas. These include: professionalism, risk management and fitness for duty.
