Safely Navigating Uncharted Waters

This seminar is being hosted by the European Society of Air Safety Investigators in Lisbon, Portugal.

The official website can be found here.

Please make sure you get the latest information from the official website prior to making any plans. We have copied some of the information here for our members.

The theme of the seminar Safely Navigating Uncharted Waters is a reflection on the innovation and pioneering spirit of the Navigators of old, who spearheaded the exploration of new frontiers.  In doing so they had to develop technology in order to navigate and sail further, and quicker, often in difficult conditions.  In today’s world, aerospace is also exploring new frontiers with the expansion of commercial space operations, increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles, introduction of urban mobility, and alternative propulsion systems – often with organisations new to aerospace.  The new and old orders have much to share and learn from each other to ensure that we not only maintain but improve the safety record in aviation.

It is with great pleasure that the organising committee invites expressions of interest to present a paper at the International Society of Air Accident Investigator (ISASI) seminar.
