Recent Activities
Safety Roundtable Meetings
The Roundtable meets virtually in early to mid-January and in-person in the July timeframe. Each meeting typically includes organizational business updates, a dedicated educational section, and a “closed door” information session for safety managers and safety gatekeepers. All employees of member departments are welcome to attend any business or education session. Closed meetings are restricted to prescreened and preapproved participants only.
Mental Health First Aid
The support and knowledge shared within the Northeast Safety Roundtable community have been crucial for our flight operations. We are grateful for the ongoing education and resources.
FOQA Analysis Forums
In a partnership with GE C-FOQA, participating members can attend regular analysis forums where aggregated NESRT flight data is presented and discussed. This allows for individuals to benchmark against both the larger industry as well as peers with a similar philosophy towards safety and operations.
Event Gatherings
NESRT members regularly gather informally at aviation conferences and safety events such as the Business Aviation Safety Symposium, NBAA Conventions, Regional Business Aviation Association events, and the Bombardier Safety Standdown.
