Keynote Speaker: Gordon Graham
“He is the best speaker on risk management. Period!”

Continuing his series on risk management, CBAA has retained for the third year this outstanding speaker to anchor the CBAA Safety Week in Montreal. Following last years presentation in Calgary, many participants requested Gordon Graham be reengaged by CBAA and this year a working lunch presentation focuses on Ethical Decision Making, and the afternoon presentation is “Why things go right, Why things go wrong” .

Tuesday, November 13 - US Operating Requirements Forum

The CBAA has invited an expert panel of speakers from the US Department of Transportation (DOT), US Bureau of Customs & Border Protection (CBP), and US Citizenship & Immigration Services (CIS).

The program will consist of a comprehensive overview of U.S. aeronautical rules and regulations governing transport and third country operations by Canadian operators. Information provided in this seminar will apply to small and large aircraft operators alike, and will include regulatory issues affecting corporate, charter, and scheduled operations. This is an excellent time for this event considering the recent changes to transborder procedures, including passport requirements and the impending random inspection of general aviation aircraft for security compliance.
Wednesday, November 14 - CBAA Safety Forum

There will be a Private Operating Certificate Holders Risk Management Panel for the morning session. This panel of experts will provide POC holders and aircraft operators in general important information on how to develop and manage an effective company specific safety management system.

There will then be a working lunch and afternoon session with our keynote speaker Mr. Gordon Graham. During the working lunch Mr. Graham will give an overview on the decision making process and his ten step process, “GRIDM”, Graham’s Rules for Improved Decision Making.” for making better, ethical decisions. The afternoon session is titled Why Things Go Right - Why Things Go Wrong. It is an organizational risk management look inside any organization to show what can be done today to avoid/minimize incidents from going wrong.
Thursday, November 15 - Flight Department Management – Maintenance Related Roles and Responsibilities Workshop

This workshop addresses the concerns of maintenance control, as well as the concerns of maintenance. In Canada, it is important not to perceive the company and the operator as one and the same, but rather that the company has an operator certificate which authorizes it to operate certain kinds of aircraft and with this authorization carries with it the responsibility to control maintenance. In essence, maintenance control is about ensuring that the rules are met, with the ultimate responsibility of technical dispatch (releasing the aircraft for flight). This workshop is designed to clarify many of the misunderstandings associated with maintenance control, as well as providing important information on how flight department managers can make this oversight process effective.
