THE WORK OF THE AVIATION SAFETY REGULATOR
TROY PRESTON,
HEAD OF FUTURE SAFETY, CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY UK
PROGRAMME INTRO
The UK has one of the world’s largest aviation industries. In 2016, UK airlines flew over 1.2 million flights carrying nearly 154 million passengers. And our airspace system handles around 2.4 million flights a year. On top of this is the nation’s extensive general aviation community that includes private flying, microlights and balloons. At the same time, we have an excellent aviation safety record.
It is important to recognise that the safety performance of large commercial aeroplanes varies across the world and the fact that the fatal accident rate for UK airlines is one of the lowest in Europe and the rest of the world. UK airspace and UK airlines are among the safest. Yet in 2014, the UK Civil Aviation Authority announced its intention to form a new approach to the safety regulation of the aviation industry - moving to a regime of 'performance based' oversight.
In this lecture, the Guest Speaker will explain why then has the UK CAA decided to overhaul its approach to aviation safety regulation? How are things changing and what does the future hold?

NOTE FOR REGISTRATION
Thanks for registering your attendance via our Eventzilla site.
We have streamlined our event registration process by introducing online booking platform as an alternative to email and telephone registeration for our lectures/events, as well as developing a way of tracking numbers on any lectures/events that may be oversubscribed.
When you book, please select the relevant ticket option, and the number of tickets you would like. The tickets will be automatically emailed to you, as there is currently no option for us to produce a ticket at the door.
The application asks for both registration and attendee details - even if there is only one person on the booking, you must fill in all fields. If you are reserving more than one ticket please ensure you enter the name of all attendees so they are reflected on the attendee list.
If there is any problem incurred during the registration process, or if there's anything we can improve on this tool, please contact the Branch Secretary –
