New Requirements for Aircraft/Engine Registration – the Cape Town Convention
January 19, 2006 • Day 1
FAA ATC Traffic Management personnel will be available at the NBAA GA Desk/FAA Booth throughout the day. Have your questions answered on air traffic management procedures and policies in the southeast region. NBAA GA Desk personnel can brief you on Member services available from the GA Desk that compliment FAA traffic management initiatives.
An International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO)
Users Session also will be held in conjunction with this Forum. Ray
Rohr, IBAC Standards Manager will provide an overview of IS-BAO and
moderate the discussion, which will include IS-BAO registered operators
and an auditor to provide valuable insights regarding the IS-BAO process. The operators will discuss their IS-BAO implementation and how
the IS-BAO and safety management system has affected the culture,
safety, security, efficiency and effectiveness of their flight
department and key lessons that they have learned. The auditor will
address issues that he/she sees important in IS-BAO implementation and
maintenance. Audience questions and interaction will be encouraged. The
session will be held from 11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. in the Conference Room at
Avitat Boca Raton. |

Safety Spotlight: Hypoxia Awareness Training Using the ROBD (Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device)
Presented by Brian J. Hayvaz, AirCare Solutions Group
Training all crewmembers in hypoxia awareness has never been as important as it is today. The insidious nature of hypoxia has been graphically demonstrated in the Payne Stewart accident of 1999 and in two more recent accidents (2005).
Cost-effective, time-efficient, and convenient hypoxia awareness training for pilots and third crewmembers is essential in giving all crews the ability to recognize and react to this potentially catastrophic event.
It is usually required to send crews to an altitude chamber for this type of practical experience. While extremely beneficial, the chamber has other potential side effects that may be unpleasant or harmful (Sinus block, ear problems, DCS, etc.).
Using the Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device (ROBD), crews experience the effects of hypoxia, in a safe environment, learning to recognize their own personal early warning signs… thereby reacting more quickly to resolve the situation.
Utilizing the ROBD, students can be placed in a hypoxic environment virtually anywhere. Once they gain firsthand knowledge of what hypoxia “feels like” and its potential for incapacitation, they are better prepared to act on that information should they encounter hypoxia during a mission.
What the crewmember learns from Hypoxia Awareness Training-
- Recognition of their own personal signs and symptoms of hypoxia;
- How hypoxia affects vision, motor and cognitive skills, and judgment;
- Recovery time with the addition of oxygen.
Using both multimedia and the ROBD unit, a demonstration of the ROBD will be provided showing the audience, what hypoxia “looks like”, motor skills and cognitive failures, and the physical effects of hypoxia (pulse, oxygen saturation, etc). |

New Requirements for Aircraft/Engine Registration – the Cape Town Convention
Presented by Scott D. McCreary, Esq., McAfee & Taft and James Meyer, Esq., Harper Meyer
Taking effect in March 2006, all business aircraft owners and operators will be impacted in different degrees by the Cape Town Convention, which changes how an aircraft owner or purchaser perfects and protects its ownership interest in an aircraft and engines. Learn the process and new requirements of the Cape Town Convention to ensure your ownership claims are properly registered with the FAA and Cape Town. |
