The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) invites pilots of all licence categories to attend an upcoming pilot safety seminar in Armidale this week.
Each year, CASA’s aviation safety advisors host free seminars across Australia to help pilots refresh their skills, enhance their knowledge, and improve flight safety.
Effective communication is essential to flight safety, particularly in non-controlled environments. The Loud and clear – Effective communication seminar to be held in Armidale, will focus on what makes for clear communication and how to avoid misunderstandings in the air.
Aviation safety advisor, Tim Penney, says the forum is designed to complement any level of technical knowledge, from novice to highly experienced pilots.
“Communication is vital for building situational awareness, which is an essential tool for maintaining safety margins, especially at non-controlled aerodromes,” he explains.
“These seminars offer pilots of all experience levels the chance to refresh their knowledge, avoid common errors, and apply lessons learned from case studies and discussions to their own flying.”
“Pilots will also pick up practical tips to help manage risk and understand the critical role communication plays in the airborne environment.”
“We encourage pilots of all levels to attend these free seminars, as they also provide a great opportunity to engage with CASA, discuss local issues, and ask questions.”
Topics covered in the Loud and clear – Effective communication seminar include:
- The basics of human communication
- Aviation communication rules and procedures
- Real-life examples of how things can go wrong
- Techniques to improve communication
- Use of an AFRU (Aerodrome Frequency Response Unit)
- Real life case studies
