DENVER — Flight Safety Foundation’s 64th Business Aviation Safety
Summit (BASS) convenes Thursday morning at the Westin Denver
Downtown with a keynote address by John S. Duncan, deputy associate
administrator for Aviation Safety at the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA). Duncan is the co-leader of the FAA organization
responsible for overseeing and enforcing safety standards in all aspects of
the U.S. aviation industry.
Following Duncan’s
remarks and a welcome message from Dr. Hassan Shahidi, the Foundation’s
president and CEO, Mark Larsen, senior manager, Safety and Flight Operations
at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), will update attendees
on the NBAA Safety Committee’s recent work. BASS is organized by the
Foundation in partnership with NBAA.
BASS is a forum for
the business aviation industry to meet and identify safety concerns, devise
approaches to reduce risk and implement initiatives to improve safety. This
year’s event, which is expected to draw more than 200 attendees and
numerous exhibitors, will cover a wide range of safety topics and will feature
presentations, panel discussions and innovative audience polling. In
addition, the program has been set up to be as interactive as possible,
allowing attendees ample opportunities to ask questions and get
answers.
In addition to
Duncan’s remarks, the first day of BASS will feature presentations on
modernizing leadership, single pilot operations, fatigue mitigation
strategies and related safety performance indicators, the danger of
complacency, resilience and crisis management, and an accident case study
and lessons learned.
The morning of Day
Two will feature an update from the National Air Traffic Controllers
Association Safety Committee, and a full session on runway and ramp safety
issues, as well as the presentation of the Foundation’s annual Business
Aviation Meritorious Service Award.
Friday afternoon’s
program will feature a session on training that will include a discussion
on whether training is preparing flight crews for the future. The day will
wrap up with an in-depth look at emerging safety issues, and will feature
the results of research being done on safety tools and decision aids for
use in single pilot cockpits.
This year’s event
marks the third time that BASS has been held in Denver, and the first time
since 1981. BASS, then known as the Corporate Aviation Safety Seminar, also
was held in Denver in 1965.

BASS and the Foundation’s other upcoming events can be found on the events landing page
