Air Charter Safety Foundation
9:00 am–10:30 am
MAXIMIZING SAFETY BANG FOR THE BUCK –
LESSONS LEARNED FROM NASA
Charlie Justiz, Ph.D., Managing Director, JFA Inc.
Safety processes are usually
Sponsored by:
considered adequate until one
of them fails and there is an
accident. At that point, a follow-on
investigation usually unearths a series of holes in your
previously impregnable safety protections. What is worse
is that all line personnel agree the series of holes were
obvious before the accident. At NASA, we recognized this
cycle and found that a safety campaign was not enough,
that an SMS was not enough, that safety cultures could
drift, and that meetings were not responsive enough to
fix the problem. What followed was an effort that would
eventually lead us to a self-correcting, data-driven process
that took us away from excessive risk towards a safer path
to achieve our mission.

This presentation defines basic system
safety engineering principles and
the concepts of Safety Management
Systems (SMS) as applied to business & corporate
aviation. It explains the concepts of hazard identification,
risk analysis, and various levels of mitigation. The role
of human factors is explained in order to create a total
safety culture.

STANDARDIZATION – WHY BOTHER?
Dann Runik, Executive Director, Advanced
Training Programs, FlightSafety International
Sponsored by:
Building a Safe Team Through
Standardization is a light-hearted
but also very serious look at the
importance of standardization in any
team setting, and what can happen when standards
either don’t exist or they are purposely ignored. We
define what Standardization is, and more importantly
what it isn’t. We use this knowledge to discuss the
best way to build team standardization and a mission
oriented, disciplined methodology to trap human error.
2:30 pm–3:30 pm
SAFETY METRICS
Troy Smith, Special Agent, U.S. Department of Justice,
Federal Bureau of Investigation, Program Manager of
Aviation Safety
Sponsored by:
This presentation discusses safety
metrics which can be utilized to get
the attention of senior management
to line pilots to support staff to
focus on its internal safety programs. Specific tools and
examples will be explored on how to implement simple
programs to measure safety efforts within a charter
operation or flight department.
3:30 pm–4:00 pm

ACCIDENT PREVENTION THROUGH SAFETY
CULTURE ENHANCEMENT
Dan McCune, Associate Vice President for Safety, ERAU,
Daytona Beach
The presentation covers several accidents and relates
solutions so that the cause of the accidents will not be
Sponsored by:
repeated. The presentation
explains that the Safety
Culture is a product of senior
leadership. Strong leadership
will ensure that a culture of compliance instilled and
constantly nurtured to prevent the downward spiral into
disaster.
The presentation discusses Normalization of Deviance:
The accumulated acceptance of cutting corners or
making work-arounds over time. With a strong safety
culture an organization can prevent Normalization of
Deviance from taking root in their safety practices. The
presentation presents ideas of how organizations can
identify active and latent errors to prevent accidents.
9:30 am–10:00 am
REFRESHMENT BREAK
Sponsored by:
10:00 am–11:00 am
REDUCING RISK
The Honorable Chris Hart, NTSB Chairman
Sponsored by:
As safety continues to improve, two
challenges arise. The first challenge
is that complacency increases and
safety vigilance decreases. The
second challenge is that, as the “low hanging fruits” are
addressed, continued improvement becomes ever more
difficult and necessitates more thinking “out of the box”.
This presentation will address both challenges.
11:00 am–12:00 pm
THE NEW ERA OF SAFETY
John Allen, Vice President, Safety, Jet Blue Airways
Sponsored by:
The new FAA Compliance Policy, what
it means for the FAA inspectors and
what it means for certificate holders.
The June announcement of the new
FAA Compliance Policy has been 10 years in the making
through vibrant internal debate within the FAA. With the
new policy comes an evolution of the relationship between
the regulator and regulated. This policy advocates for the
use of training, counseling and other safety improvement
tools and use enforcement when the other tools are
inappropriate. This Compliance Policy is needed to enable
SMS to succeed with its requirement of transparency for
certificate holders in the identification of risks and hazards.
