Moruya air safety workshop
A special air safety workshop for local pilots is being held in Moruya tomorrow.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority is staging the free AvSafety workshop in Moruya on Tuesday 19 August 2008.
The workshop is being run in conjunction with the Moruya Aero Club and will look at key air safety issues - including operations at local aerodromes.
Experts from CASA will make presentations on these topics and lead discussions about a range of local air 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 Moruya and along the NSW south coast.
"Giving pilots from Moruya and the south coast 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.
"The NSW south coast has 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 Moruya Aero Club on Tuesday 19 August from 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.
