What’s the most frequent type of operational accident for business/

have accounted for approximately 50 per cent of U.S. business aviation
accidents, with no evidence of recent improvement. From this session,
you will learn what the threats related to the approach and landing phase
of flight are and how to develop an avoidance strategy. The final emphasis

and sustain a safety culture.

Presenter: Scott Kalister, Vice President of Corporate Aircraft

Consider an alternative to the fixed schedules, hub/spoke system, and

The corporate shuttle has become a viable time- and cost-saving alternative.
This forum discusses how a flight department can successfully evaluate
and promote an in-house corporate shuttle program. It will show how to
analyze the process of selecting routes, valuing time and productivity
savings as well as determining direct ticket savings to the corporation
versus the airlines. |

Aircraft Maintenance Planning, Scheduling and Tracking: Justifying
the Resource
Presenter: Victor Josephson, Director of Technical Solutions,
CAMP Systems International
Aircraft maintenance planning, scheduling and recording is a specialized
activity usually under-estimated by administrators, accountants and managers
unfamiliar with aviation. Even aviation professionals unfamiliar with
maintenance operations often do not appreciate the effort required. This
presentation will help flight department staff, especially maintenance
professionals, organize materials in a format that effectively communicates
the process to those who are not experienced in this area. |

and efficiently meet your company's travel needs? Attend this presentation
and learn why the IS-BAO is becoming the "Gold Standard" for
business aviation and how you can use this Standard to integrate the NBAA
safety and security initiatives into a comprehensive management system
to benefit you and your flight department. |
