Tour of Reconstructed TWA Flight 800 to Highlight ACSF Symposium

Jan 01, 2008

The Air Charter Safety Foundation will hold its 2008 safety symposium--Developing a Healthy Safety Culture--Feb. 19-20 at the National Transportation Safety Board Training Center in Ashburn, Va., just west of Washington, DC. In addition to networking and learning about safety cultures from NTSB Vice Chairman Robert Sumwalt, symposium attendees will be able to walk through the reconstructed fuselage of TWA Flight 800.

“A strong, mature safety culture is not built overnight, and requires dedication to stay effective,” said ACSF Vice Chairman Jim Christiansen of NetJets Aviation. “The safety professionals scheduled to speak at this symposium are world-renowned for their expertise." FAA Accident Specialist Peter Devaris will discuss recent Part 135 accidents and factors. NASA expert James Oberg and Transport Canada expert Jacqueline Booth-Bourdeau will make presentations on their organization's safety management systems, and FAA's Don Arendt will discuss future safety management systems. In addition, industry safety professionals will present "tools you can use" at the event.

Online registration is available at www.acsf.aero. Sponsorship opportunities are available. Interested parties may contact Lindsey McFarren for more information at (888)-SAFE-135 or via email at [email protected].

Product Showcase

The MGC Simple Plus

The MGC Simple Plus is a simple-to-use, portable multi-gas detector that runs continuously for three years without needing to be recharged or routinely calibrated after its initial charge and calibration during manufacturing. The detector reliably tests a worksite’s atmosphere for hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and combustible gases (LEL). Additionally, it is durable enough to withstand the harshest treatment and environments, which is why it has an IP 68 rating. The MGC Simple Plus is also compatible with a variety of accessories, such as Gas Clip Technologies’ new GCT External Pump. Visit gascliptech.com for more information. 3
