GULF FLIGHT SAFETY COMMITTEE - A SUCCESS STORY


Well that was good! Thank you to Sharjah Department of Civil Aviation for hosting the January meeting of the Gulf Flight Safety Committee in their auditorium at Sharjah International Airport. I arrived there fresh from Ottawa in no state to chair the meeting, and my fellow Executive Committee members did a great job while I sat on the sidelines.

The two best bits? Firstly the confidential incident review session was well subscribed and this gave us all the opportunity to learn from the experiences of our peers. Second, at last we are seeing light at the end of the funding tunnel for GFSC - in return for a little exposure on our website or at meetings, member organisations are offering all kinds of support. Add to this an offer the following day from Maximus Air Cargo to host the next meeting in Abu Dhabi on 18 May, and we are feeling pretty good.

Check out www.gfsc.aero where website manager Captain Laurie Mitchell is doing a great job posting more and more new information - don't forget to contribute! Contact me, chairman, at jgillespie@gatesaviation.com .
