Commercial aviation safety is the best it has ever been, and flight operations are effectively and efficiently moving forward. While recognising the many successes in aviation, there are increasing expectations of safety, new technologies, new airspace operations, new generations of aviation professionals and other factors that are changing aviation. There are both challenges and opportunities in these changes, and fundamental questions to be answered.
This lecture will discuss those challenges and opportunities, and identify fundamental underlying questions.

The Flight Operations Group of the RAeS, commonly known as FOG, was formed in the early 1990’s by a small group of Professional Airmen, drawn together with the wish to enhance Safety in Aviation and further advance the standard of Pilot training. To this end the FOG have produced a number of specialist documents, including: ‘So You Want to be a Pilot?’ and ‘Smoke Fire and Fumes in Transport Aircraft [SAFITA]’ to name just two.

In the past year a number of the founding members of the Group passed on, leaving only 5 of the original number remaining. It was decided that in this, the 25th year of the FOG, a lecture should be given to commemorate the Founding of the FOG, and that it become a yearly occurrence.

Dr Kathy Abbott FRAeS of the FAA will be giving this talk on 17 March 2015. This lecture is free to attend and open to all, RSVP here: http://aerosociety.com/Events/Event-List/1950/Out-of-the-Fog or by contacting me on [email]rebecca.webb@aerosociety.com[/email]

Any questions please do not hesistate to ask.

Kind Regards,
