operational, management and legal issues surrounding Flight Data Management (FDM). FDM helps pilots, managers and operators improve the

| Internationally, ICAO, leading regulators and aviation psychology associations are adopting new standards to improve how our industry deals with mental health issues. This follows a number of occurences that resulted from intentional actions by flight crew or some related situation. These include the Germanwings 9525 crash in 2015 and the LAM Mozambique flight 470 in 2013.
In this course, we provide participants with knowledge and understanding of mental wellbeing in the aviation industry and how to identify and address issues that impact the safety performance of aviation personnel. Following our over-subscribed launch edition of this course last year, we are happy to bring the course back to Africa once again this year.

We realise our incredible rates by deploying practising professional volunteers and support from the airlines for their transport and the hosting of our events as important pillars of our independent, non-profit status.
When it comes to our courses, our impact is that we bring courses and events for which there are currently no commercially feasible alternatives in the countries or sub-regions where the events are held.
