NEWS The theme for this year’s symposium was, “Safety is:
Actively Managing Risk,” which drew representatives from the on-demand air charter and fractional aircraft ownership community, as well as various aviation industry experts. “This was an outstanding program,” said ACSF
Chairman Jeff Baum. “Attendees benefi ted from National Transportation Safety Board offi cials and industry experts. We’re very pleased that the ACSF continues to gain momentum and the validity of the foundation’s mission – to raise the level of safety within air charter and fractional ownership operations – continues to be confi rmed through operator and industry participation in ACSF activities.” Some highlights from the symposium included: • Keynote Speaker Dr. Tony Kern, Founding Partner and CEO of Convergent Performance LLC, discussed how human error becomes far less complex when we make the time and eff ort to view it through the lens of the individual. “Error becomes manageable and eventually controllable when we learn the distinguishable features of our personal performance and the risks of human error,” said Dr. Kern.
• The Honorable Robert Sumwalt, Member, National Transportation Safety Board, provided practical and useful information to assist leaders and ensure high safety levels, while meeting other company goals and objectives. “Air charter leaders have the critical role of
