Students registered in an Australian Society of Air Safety Investigators (ASASI) recognized education programs, including studies in aircraft engineering, operations, airline management, aviation psychology, aviation safety or aircraft occurrence investigation are invited to apply to the Flight Safety Foundation Macarthur Job scholarship.

Flight Safety Foundation prides itself on being Independent, International and Impartial in the cause of aviation safety advice, guidance and resources. The ASASI objective is ‘Air Safety through Investigation’. David Anderson, Regional Manager, FSFLtd commented “the collaboration between ASASI and FSF and our mutual objectives provide the perfect platform to further both of our messages and encourage students to become more involved in the field of aviation safety and aircraft occurrence investigation”.
