Deniliquin air safety workshop
A special aviation safety workshop for local pilots is being held this week in Deniliquin.
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 Deniliquin on Thursday 25 October 2007.
The workshop will look at key air safety issues including pilot skills and flying in controlled airspace.
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 the Riverina region.
“Education and training are keys to better air safety,” Mr Gibson says.
“This workshop will help to improve air safety in the Riverina. That's good news for pilots and passengers.
“The Riverina has a good air safety record but we must continue to work to prevent accidents.”
The workshop is being held at the Deniliquin Aero Club on Thursday 25 October 2007.
All local pilots are urged to attend.
