Hobart air safety workshop
A special aviation safety workshop for local pilots is being held this week in Hobart.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority is staging the free workshop as part of a national air safety campaign.
Aviation experts will conduct the workshop in Hobart on Wednesday 28 March 2007.
The workshop will look at key air safety issues including flying in bad weather and aircraft maintenance.
Experts from CASA will make presentations on these topics, as well as leading discussions about local safety issues.
CASA's Peter Gibson says the workshop will make a real difference to air safety in Tasmania.
“Education and training are keys to better air safety,” Mr Gibson says.
“This workshop will help to improve air safety throughout Tasmania. That's good news for pilots and passengers.
“Tasmania has a good air safety record but we must continue to work to prevent accidents.”
The workshop is being held at the Aero Club of Southern Tasmania on Wednesday 28 March, starting at 6pm.
All local pilots are urged to attend.
CASA is hosting a free BBQ on the night for everyone who takes part in the workshop.
