The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is inviting private pilots and others involved in aviation around Essex, to attend a General Aviation Safety Evening on Thursday 4 February.
The event will give those involved in light aircraft flying an opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding of aviation safety matters. The evening will be held at the Clubhouse, Andrewsfield Airfield and will be introduced by the CAA’s Safety Promotion Officer, David Cockburn.
Those attending will be able to discuss with David and other experts such topics as:
· aircraft accidents involving pilot handling skills;
· decision making, including weather recognition;
· aircraft maintenance; and
· air traffic control services and airspace matters.
They will also have the chance to win a selection of prizes donated by sponsors from the aviation industry.
The evening forms part of the CAA’s commitment to working with the aviation industry to continue to improve air safety. Around 20 Safety Evening presentations are held throughout the UK each year. Last year, over 1,000 people attended the events that took place at locations from Cornwall to Scotland.
David Cockburn said: “Private aviation in the UK has a good safety record, however all pilots, from trainees to experienced instructors, whatever their aircraft type, should be continually seeking to refresh and refine their skills and knowledge.”
Anyone who is involved in general aviation is welcome to attend the Safety Evening which is free and starts at 7.30 pm. To reserve a place, or to find out more information, please telephone 01371 856744.
