Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):

This year’s event is one that you do not want to miss. This year’s safety forum is being sponsored by FEC Heliports and they are providing dinner for those in attendance. (Pizza and drinks)

 

We have a wonderful presenter lined up for this year’s event: Mr. Bruce Webb of Airbus Helicopters will present “Hope is NOT a Strategy” and then follow up with another excellent program on “What’s your Attitude”  . See below for bio on Mr. Bruce Webb and additional information on the presentations.

Bruce Webb is the Director of Aviation Education and Community Outreach for Airbus Helicopters. He believes that the key to improving aviation safety is through a better understanding of human behavior.

Bruce’s interest in aviation began in High School where he attended an aerospace course as a sophomore and then attended a vocational A&P School as a junior and senior. He went on to complete his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois while concurrently pursuing his FAA Rotorcraft Helicopter Pilot Certificates. He co-owned and operated an FAA approved part 135, 137, and 145 helicopter operation in the Chicago area for more than six years. He flew medical helicopters (VFR and IFR BK-117’s) for more than four years in Nebraska, Ohio, and North Carolina. He came to Airbus (Eurocopter) in 1999 as a pilot and quickly was promoted to Chief Pilot, a position he held for sixteen years. He stepped down in 2016 to begin this new challenge of promoting safety from a lectern…not a cockpit. 

 

With more than thirty-six years of helicopter experience Bruce is a passionate speaker whose unique perspectives resonate with audiences.

 

“Hope is NOT a Strategy” is an examination of our decision-making processes to include subtle nuances such as “framing”, the truth about multitasking, the effects of too little or too much information, how we determine the “goodness” of a decision, and ultimately how we can make more logical and less emotional decisions.

“What’s Your Attitude” This presentation will focus on the realities of unintended flight in a degraded visual environment. We will discuss the limitations of the pilot, the equipment, and current guidance as they pertain to successfully escaping such an encounter. A case study will help reinforce known concepts and reveal others which may be easily overlooked.
