The ASRS is an important facet of the continuing effort by government, industry, and individuals to maintain and improve aviation safety. The ASRS collects voluntarily submitted aviation safety incident/situation reports from pilots, controllers, and others.
The ASRS acts on the information these reports contain. It identifies system deficiencies, and issues alerting messages to persons in a position to correct them. It educates through its newsletter CALLBACK, its journal ASRS Directline and through its research studies. Its database is a public repository which serves the FAA and NASA's needs and those of other organizations world-wide which are engaged in research and the promotion of safe flight.
In this seminar, Dennis Doyle will discuss a brief summary of the program and the number and type of reports they receive. He will then highlight several SFO Class B incursions by GA aircraft, and several SFO Class B excursions by air carrier aircraft that pose a threat to GA operating in the airspace below Class B. This will be a great opportunity for general aviation pilots who fly in the bay area, especially San Carlos, Palo Alto and Half Moon Bay. Hopefully we will never have an incident, but if we inadvertently do, we will want to remember this lecture.
Dennis J Doyle has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aeronautics with a Maintenance concentration from San Jose State University and holds a Commercial Pilot rating with Single and Multi-engine land. He also is a Certified Flight Instructor Single Engine, Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic with Inspection Authority, and Aircraft Dispatcher.
