In an increasingly interconnected and complex aviation system, it is imperative to learn not only from things that rarely go wrong but also from things that go right. This approach will become increasingly important as the aviation sector, over the next few years, will face one of the largest generational shifts in its workforce.  The Asia Pacific aviation system is already facing human resource shortages and is poised to resume its unparalleled growth that will increase the demand for skilled human resources. This will occur in parallel with many projected retirements in the next few years.  Our flash talk speaker will present some initial ideas on how learning from all operations could be applied to capture the wisdom that we have accumulated on those things that go right to maintain and build upon the safety record that we have today.

Mr. Tzvetomir Blajev, Director, Europe and Global Operational Safety, Flight Safety Foundation
