A FREE aviation seminar focused on defensive flying skills will be held in Mount Gambier next week.
South East pilots are invited to take part in the safety event organised by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
Pilots will learn more about threat and error management skills, as well as communication and situational awareness.
Threats to safe flying can be adverse weather, mechanical problems or other air traffic.
Errors by pilots can be fuel mismanagement, incorrect aircraft settings or navigation mistakes.
CASA’s Peter Gibson said local pilots would be given practical examples of how to fly defensively to best manage threats and errors.
“Mount Gambier pilots can be leaders in aviation safety by attending next week’s seminar,” Mr Gibson said.
“Local pilots have good technical flying skills and can now further enhance their safety performance.
“Our goal is safe skies for all.”
The free safety seminar will be held Friday, November 23, from 6.30pm at the Mount Gambier Aero Club.
