Networking Reception
The San Diego Regional Aviation Association's first-ever networking event was a tremendous success with over 70 aviation industry professionals attending from around San Diego and Southern California. The event, held January 19, 2010 at Premier Jet at McClellan-Palomar Airport, provided an opportunity for SDRAA members and friends to socialize over refreshments, connect with others in the industry, and hear from Arizona Business Aviation Association President Mike Goode on the general aviation fight to improve local runways.
The San Diego Regional Aviation Association held its first Safety Standdown on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 at Jet Source located at McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, California.
The event featured a slate of nationally recognized speakers and panelists including Michael Gillen, United Airlines Captain and Manager of New Hire and Command Development Programs ; Patrick Carey, Aviation Safety and Security Officer for AirFlite - Toyota's worldwide flight operations and Captain for Toyota's G-IV and G-V; Kevin Karpe, Southern California TRACON Safety Assurance Manager ; Peter Drinkwater, Director of San Diego County Airports; Douglas Carr, National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Vice President of Safety, Security and Regulation ; and Robert Riccardi, International Captain for Qualcomm Inc.
"The speakers on tap for this event were outstanding," commented Grant Wright, President of SDRAA. "Each participant walked away with practical information they could use right away. We were thrilled to partner with our generous sponsors to bring the Southern California aviation community this valuable event." Wright noted some of the specific presentation topics included safety management systems, flight deck automation, ATC phraseology, local airspace issues, and icing.
The event was developed for Professional Development Program (PDP) / Certified Aviation Manager (CAM) credits or recertification. Sponsors for the event included Jet Source, NBAA, Isaacs Café and Catering, Bombardier, Citation Shares and (W)right On Communications
