DESCRIPTION

Many flight departments do not have a robust Emergency Response Plan, and a relatively small portion of ACSF members have implemented such plans.

This workshop is designed for both Part 91 and 135 safety leaders to learn more about how an effective ERP works or to reimagine their existing plan. Prepare yourself for the upcoming Part 5 Safety Management Systems regulations (SMS), particularly focusing on the requirements for an Emergency Response Plan (ERP).

Take a deep dive into what it takes to have an effective ERP and understand how a good plan will impact your day-to-day business. Plus, learn how your ERP will make the difference in surviving an unexpected safety event.

Requires separate registration from Symposium. Cost is $350 per person or attend both workshops for $600. Box lunch included.
