Aviation safety organisation Safeskies will host a morning seminar at the 2017 Australian International Airshow at Avalon.

The session will focus on three safety areas – Royal Australian Air Force fast jets, air traffic management and recreational aviation safety.

Speakers at the three-hour seminar include EA-18G Growler pilot and RAAF SQNLDR Shannon ‘Bird’ Kennedy, who will discuss flying fast jets safely.

Meanwhile, Airservices executive general manager for air navigation services Stephen Angus’s address will cover the safety benefits of the Civil Military Air Traffic Management System (CMATS) system.
