BALPA/GATCO Forum 2005 - The Safety of Public Transport Flights Outside CAS
This year's annual BALPA/GATCO Forum is being held at the Yew Lodge Hotel, Kegworth, near East Midlands Airport (M1 Junction 24) on May 5th.
The topic this year following on from GATCO's recent articles in its magazine Transmit is "The Safety of Public Transport Flights Outside Controlled Airspace" and is aimed to continue the debate on whether the airlines and therefore, the flying public are being misled into believing that Radar Advisory can provide the same level of safety as Radar Control, of whether the problem is more perceived than real and can be adequately addressed by improved participation by airspace users and new technologies.
Speakers will include an ATCO from Newcastle, one of the first civil LARS units and an airport served by several airlines whose routes take them into Class G, a senior Captain from British Midland, a representative from the CAA's Directorate of Airspace Policy and a representative from the CAA's Safety Regulation Group.
ETD is 1900L for 1930, there will be a complimentary buffet and a pay bar.
Come early to get a seat!!
