Bunbury Air Safety Workshop
A special air safety workshop for local pilots is being held in Bunbury this week.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority is staging the free AvSafety workshop in Bunbury on Tuesday 24 June 2008.
The workshop is being run in conjunction with the Bunbury Aero Club and will look at key air safety issues - including flying in bad weather and pilot responsibilities.
Experts from CASA will make presentations on these topics and lead discussions about a range of local safety issues.
CASA’s Peter Gibson says the workshop is part of a national regional air safety campaign and will help to improve safety at Bunbury and throughout WA’s south-west.
“Giving pilots from Bunbury and the south-west region extra training will lift their safety skills to even higher levels,” Mr Gibson says.
“All pilots receive comprehensive training but this workshop means they will be even better equipped to fly safely at all times and deal with emergencies.
“Bunbury and the south-west have a good air safety record but accidents do happen and everyone in aviation must keep working hard to make the local skies safe.”
The workshop is being held at the Goulburn Soldiers Club on Friday 20 June from 6pm.
The workshop is being held at the Bunbury Aero Club on Tuesday 24 June from 6pm.
CASA is hosting a free BBQ on the night for everyone who takes part in the workshop.
