Flight safety has come along way since the early days of aviation. Whilst the club does everything in its power to create an environment of safe practice – the onus for all aviators to maintain an active culture of safety in every facet of their operations is vital.
Safety Management System
“Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity, or neglect.”
