I am studying the methods that gliding clubs and organizations employ

presentation on this topic at the Soaring Safety Foundation-hosted
safety meeting in Reno, Nevada, on Wednesday February 1 2012. *Does
your soaring organization have regular (monthly, semi-annual, annual)
safety meetings/programs? *If so, what occurs in those meetings? Are
the meetings/programs effective in achieving a safer environment for
your organization? Is there any follow-up after the meetings/programs
to measure their effectiveness? Do you feel that you benefit from any
of the programs? Do you have suggestions to make safety meetings and
programs more effective?

Please post responses to this topic here on r.a.s. and let us all know
what you think. Pilots from all countries are welcome to contibute.
Thanks!/Danke!/Merci!

Our club has an annual "Spring Refresher Clinic". It is sponsored by
us and the FAASTeam for Wings credit. Three modules centered around
fresh and relevant safety topics. This year a U2 pilot is speaking on
aeromedical factors of endurance and altitude flight. An aviation
lawyer is speaking on "failure to follow procedures". and I am giving
a thirty minute module on "speeds to fly". Power pilots are invited
and usually come out in force. This year it is February 21st from 6-8
pm at the public airport in Bainbridge , GA. Everyone is invited.

Other than the seminar, the safety patrol falls on the shoulders of
the instructors.
