FSF on risk management: collaboration is key

摘要

Risk management and shared responsibility took center stage at the Flight Safety Foundation's 62nd annual Business Aviation Safety Summit (BASS), co-sponsored by NBAA, in Denver in May. In his keynote address, John Duncan, FAA deputy associate administrator, Office of Aviation Safety, urged cooperation between his agency and the business aviation community, telling attendees, "We are all on the same team," citing the agency's new Compliance Program, which aims to fix safety problems rather than affix blame, as an example. Duncan acknowledged the FAA's own commitment to safety and procedures have come under question in the wake of the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max losses, and that it now faces multiple investigations. 'We welcome them," he said of the inquiries. "Part of the challenge that you can probably see in the press is a lack of understanding of exactly how we manage risks."
