NATCA's COMMUNICATING FOR SAFETY

Join us for the 2006 "Communicating for Safety" conference this September in Dallas. The conference will feature panels on pilot and controller training, recent accident investigations, human factors study results, NASA ASRS updates, dispatcher responsiblities, flight planning and special-use airspace considerations and much, much more. Speakers will include industry experts, line pilots, working controllers as well as general aviation pilots and dispatchers. There will something for everyone!

The exhibit hall will once again be hosting some of the top aviation companies displaying their latest technologies. During this two-day event businesses provide a unique, one-of-a-kind opportunity to display their wares and re-acquaint attendees with the newest services and products.

If you're involved in aviation should make plans to attend. Whether you're a student pilot just starting out or you have a lunar landing under your belt you will enjoy CFS. Controllers from the biggest hubs to the quietest little landing strips will be there to answer any questions you might have.
