Australia has won a top award for international leadership in aviation safety communication and education.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority's Flight Safety Australia magazine has taken out the 2010 international Flight Safety Foundation publication award.

Flight Safety Australia magazine been recognised by the Flight Safety Foundation for making an outstanding contribution to aviation safety awareness.

The prestigious award, which has a 30 year history, was presented to the editor of Flight Safety Australia magazine, Margo Marchbank, this week.

The presentation was made at the Flight Safety Foundation's International Air Safety Seminar in Italy.

The Flight Safety Foundation is an independent, non-profit international organisation with a membership across 150 nations.

It identifies aviation safety issues, fosters safety debates, conducts research and education and carries out safety audits.

CASA's Director of Aviation Safety, John McCormick, said the award was testimony to the leading role Australia plays in international aviation.

"Flight Safety Australia magazine is respected not just by people in Australian aviation but by people involved in air safety across the world," Mr McCormick said.

"It reflects the leadership Australia demonstrates in international aviation safety in many areas and the commitment we have to striving for the highest safety outcomes.

"CASA is proud of Flight Safety Australia magazine and we are very proud of this award from the Flight Safety Foundation.

"Congratulations to the editor, Margo Marchbank, and her team."

It's not April 1st....is it?:confused:

FSA?? Not a patch on the old ASD!

unfknblvbl

Obviously Women's Day didn't enter

** (in the absence of any competing publications).

Or was it for the highest ratio of useless advertising:story content in any aviation publication?

Talk about FSF currying favour with one of its "supporters/sponsors"

I hope Ms Marchbank did NOT travel to Italy at our expence to receive this "award"

As for the screaming skulls fluffy words, he might as well go back to selecting his co-workers for vindictive termination as per CX Star Chamber for any credibility as far as I am concerned.:=

Tipsy

Bahahahahahaha

Bahahahahahahahahahahaha

Regulatory reform, 20 years and counting

Who do think would have paid for it :ugh:. It's always good to see taxpayer dollars being spent wisley :D Business class of course......

Ya gotta be joking. Graphic design maybe but for aviation content no way.

And aviation in OZ ???
 

Note the text ... the Skull says... "a leading role in international aviation."

No such leading role for Australian aviation..!!, which is into its 22nd year of torment, and death by 10,000 Regs.

All rise. Bow the noggin and say... Amen.

I'll take my chances with a single sheet of Jepps, thanks ;)

I remember reading an article about a twin engined aeroplane with a full load of passengers being flown into known icing conditions without de-icing equipment. It climbed to 10,000 ft with a malfunctioning engine. The pilot then shut down the malfunctioning engine and lost control of the aircraft. He recovered and was soon in cloud below the LSALT. With the help of a friendly controller he found his way to an airfield and landed.
ATSB found no problem with the instruments.
This was said to be "the right stuff"
I disagree.
This may be a pretty magazine, but I cannot respect it.

Sweet and sour
 

I am led to believe the same committee that awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to President Barack Obama was also in charge of awarding CASA the prize. Would be interesting to see the calibre of the other nominations.

Did someone move April Fools Day to Bonfire Night !!!! :confused:

I only take it out of it's plastic envelope because that doesn't go in the recycle bin

Maybe a PPrune poll would be in order here to indicate to CASA how many aviation personnel consider FSA worthwhile? CASA might sit up and take notice then.

I'm speechless!! :confused:

Not judging by the general feeling here...
