8:30 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. REGISTRATION AND CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST, COFFEE & BEVERAGE SERVICE

9:45 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.WELCOME REMARKS

Dave Hewitt, Chairman, Air Charter Safety Foundation

10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF RUNWAY INCURSIONS & EXCURSIONS

Presented by: Al Gorthy, Captain, USN (retired)Maintaining conscious attention is mentally demanding and undoubtedly diminishes over time because of fatigue. Improving attention skills is more complicated than just simply asking aircrew to ‘pay more attention.’ When the boundaries of attention are tested the risk of mistakes are magnified. The challenge is to identify where and how to apply appropriate techniques to intervene and preclude our attention span from waning. Reducing the likelihood of runway incursions and excursions is dependent on the situational awareness and attentiveness of pilots and controllers and the time available to take action….often times only a matter of seconds. Captain Gorthy will reveal the precursors of incursions and excursions and provide attention control techniques to keep your mind focused on the task at hand.

12:00 p.m.- 1:30 p.m.LUNCH (INCLUDED IN REGISTRATION) & TWA 800 BRIEFING & TOURAn NTSB member will brief attendees on the TWA 800 mid-air explosion and crash on July 17, 1996, in the Atlantic Ocean after departing John F. Kennedy International Airport. A reconstructed portion of the Boeing 747 fuselage is housed at the NTSB Training Center as an education tool for accident investigators and aviation safety professionals. A tour of the fuselage will be given after the briefing.

1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.INTEGRATED RISK MANAGEMENT: BRIDGING THEORY AND PRACTICE

Presented by: Jim ZawrotnyOne of the most important yet misunderstood neces-sities in business aviation is the management of the tan-gible risks involved, including the management of fatigue. It’s important to develop a customizable, integrated system of risk evaluation, management and analysis that targets specific areas of interest without sacrificing the aggregate. Jim Zawrotny will chart the history and devel-opmental challenges of a simple fatigue predictor as part of the business aviation preflight risk assessment process.

2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.2014 SMS AUDIT RESULTS

Presented by: Steve Witowski, Vice President, Business Aviation Safety Systems, PRISM Solutions Steve Witowski will provide a summary of both private and commercial flight operations audit results. The audits follow a “systems” and “process” methodology, and are not exclusively focused on compliance. The goal of audits are to seek evidence of effective and efficient oper-ations and industry best practices, including implementa-tion of a safety management system (SMS).

3:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.REFRESHMENT BREAK

4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.MANAGING PROFESSIONALISM AND AIRMANSHIP

Presented by: The Honorable Robert L. Sumwalt, Board Member, NTSBThroughout the flight, pilots are required to monitor many functions, the state of aircraft systems, aircraft config-uration, flight path and the actions of the other pilot in the cockpit. Thus, the number of opportunities for error is enormous — especially on challenging flights, and many of those opportunities are associated with two safeguards themselves designed to guard against error: checklists and monitoring.

8:00 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.HUMAN FACTORS IN AVIATION ACCIDENTS & INCIDENTS

Presented by: Scott Turner, Captain, American Airlines Captain Turner will focus the presentation on “Human Factors” in aviation accidents and incidents. It will highlight the importance for strict adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and Active Pilot Monitoring. The session will center on the declining accident rate for aircraft due to mechanical reasons; while the accident rate for Human Factors’ issues remains alarming.

8:45 a.m. – 9:30 a.m.FAA MEDICAL CERTIFICATION: IMPROVING HEALTH & ENHANCING SAFETY

Presented by: Quay Snyder, MD, MSPH, President and CEO, Aviation Medicine Advisory Service (AMAS)Dr. Snyder will provide updates on key FAA policies including obstructive sleep apnea, changes in heart dis-ease protocols, antidepressant medication use, the FAA’s enhanced scrutiny of DUI incidents, allowed and prohib-ited medications and many other topics. Efforts to revise FAA supplemental oxygen requirements and broaden eligibility for diabetic pilots are outlined. Dr. Snyder will also discuss progress of the NBAA Safety Committee Fitness For Duty Working Group, which he chairs, and the Flight Safety Foundation’s Global Safety Initiative – OEM Project.

9:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.REFRESHMENT BREAK

10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.AVIATION SAFETY ACTION PROGRAM (ASAP)

Presented by: John Duncan, Director of Flight Standards, Federal Aviation Administration

Robert H. Burke, Manager, Federal Aviation Administration, Air Carrier Training Systems and Voluntary Safety Programs Branch, AFS-280

Richard Meikle,Vice President – Safety, NetJets Aviation, Inc.

Ben Walsh, SVP of Operations and Safety, Jet Edge A confidential, non-punitive reporting program is an important cornerstone to developing a robust safety management system. Company employees are more likely to report events when they have confidence that their reports will be used to produce positive results, and not to place blame.

Companies that have implemented an Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) have learned a wealth of information regarding safety-related events that other-wise would have gone undetected until a major event occurred.

ASAP is an FAA/industry partnership that provides a near consequence-free environment, whereby the participants can identify safety issues and report information that can be critical in identifying potential precursors to accidents. Join this panel for a lively discussion on ASAPs.

11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.A DAY YOU WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER

Presented by: Harry Nelson, Executive Operational Advisor to Product Safety, AirbusThis presentation seeks to make the industry aware of an issue close to all pilot’s hearts and unless dealt with soon, will potentially lead to a situation or situations that could (and nearly did) cause “the worst accident in his-tory.” The key driver for this increasing risk is the increase in volume of aircraft traffic that we will be facing in the coming years.

To illustrate the issue, an event which occurred in 2006 could have had a completely different and more tragic outcome. Parallels and lessons are drawn from the actual “worst aircraft accident in history” so as to bring the audi-ence to a natural conclusion that something had better be done soon if we are to prevent such an accident in the future. The presentation stops short of suggesting solutions (although many have been considered) but rather seeks to act as a catalyst for a more considered piece of work that should be carried out by a “cross industry working group.”
