News Item Northeast Safety & Training Symposium presented by FACTS Training (Olympia, WA - June 11, 2009) FACTS Training, a division AirCare Solutions Group, presented a full day of safety education and hands-on emergency procedures training exercises to nearly 100 attendees at the inaugural Northeast Safety & Training Symposium. Staged at the Westchester County Airport on Tuesday, May 12th, corporate aviation members from the Westchester, Teterboro and Morristown Aviation Associations gathered in White Plains, New York, to participate in valuable crewmember emergency training plus receive updates from the FAA, Customs Border Patrol and ArincDirect on local aviation initiatives. Jeffrey Lee, President, Westchester Aviation Association, made the following observation: "At this NE Safety Symposium, FACTS Training International offered members of the TEB, HPN and MMU aviation communities a unique opportunity to refresh their skills and increase their knowledge of aircraft emergencies. This opportunity was especially appreciated during these difficult economic conditions when the commitment to aviation safety training for some individuals might be challenged due to resource limitations. As usual, the FACTS training program was completed with the highest degree of professionalism by a dedicated group of skilled instructors." FACTS provided attendees with a familiarization of four of their instructional modules, which are offered in scheduled classes: emergency land evacuations utilizing its proprietary full motion training simulator, live fire training, ditching and hypoxia awareness training using its leading edge training device. As noted by Bruce Snyder, Director of FACTS Training, "Economy not withstanding, the turnout for the Northeast Safety Training Symposium was greater than expected. I was truly impressed with the warm reception from both the Westchester Aviation Association and those attending. This symposium was a win/win for all as FACTS had an opportunity to demonstrate its capabilities and those attending received valuable safety instruction. From my vantage point, it was a good training day!" A driving force within FACTS Training is the conviction that safety education and professional training play vital roles in the continual improvement of corporate aviation's safety record. The Northeast Safety Symposium provided an excellent forum from which FACTS could demonstrate its passion for equipping aircrew with the knowledge necessary to operate corporate aircraft in the safest environment possible.
