The author is Rob Collins who has had a long career in the aviation industry. His experience as a general aviation and international airline pilot, aviation safety regulator and consultant has equipped him well to write this book. As a former Senior Executive of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, and now an industry consultant, Rob has seen many opportunities for safety improvement and he uses these experiences to illustrate important safety messages in the book. Although his ideas have been developed largely from experience in the aviation industry, Rob says, they are applicable to any industry where risk needs to be carefully managed.
