Even the best aviation operations experience safety drift over time. Good people and organizations, with the best intentions, can become blind to risks hiding in plain sight.

Join us at VERTICON for a Foundations Session that addresses this challenge head-on:

"Willful Blindness and Safety Drift: Confronting the Constructed Reality of Risk"

Thursday, March 12th | 9:45 AM | Atlanta

Matthew West (Hawk AeroSafety, aviation safety services provider) and Ian Shelley (Higginbotham, leading aviation insurance broker) will share practical approaches for both identifying and preventing safety drift in your organization—drawing from real-world experience across operations and risk management.

We'll explore why drift happens even in high-performing organizations, practical tools like gemba walks and enhancing psychological safety, and how to build a culture where people speak up before something goes wrong

Drift is human. Culture needs to be led. But willful blindness? That's avoidable.

Register today on the VERTICON website or mobile app. We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta.

I'm excited to be presenting at VAI's first Verticon convention (formerly HeliExpo). With VAI's expansion to include other vertical lift technologies, this year my presentation is to autonomous technology operators.

With the uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) sector expanding rapidly, many aviation departments operating drones experience challenges when trying to balance their organization’s safety and production needs. This session will provide insights into the key considerations for safety and risk management in UAS operations. The session will provide an overview of safety risk management, the goal of which is to provide data on hazards, risks, and controls. We will also emphasize the importance of establishing a safety management system early, looking at the fundamental operations of managing risk, including hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk mitigation. I look forward to seeing you there!
