Aviation Safety Events

Besides FSF’s three major annual safety seminars — IASS, EASS and CASS — many other events take place throughout the year that could be valuable to you. Here you can find the basic information about them, with links to their Web sites.

If you are planning an aviation safety event and would like it listed in the Safety Calendar, send the information to Rick Darby, darby@flightsafety.org, as far in advance as possible. Be sure to include contact information including an e-mail address, Web site URL and telephone number(s). In addition to a local toll-free number, if any, please include a number for callers outside the toll-free area.
