to look at all aspects of their operations with fresh eyes and to “question conventional wisdom” while examining ways to further enhance aviation safety, the FAA reported.A best practice in crisis management is to be proactive in finding ways to prevent or mitigate apotential crisis. The Federal Aviation Administration appeared to embrace that best practice yesterday at its first safety summit in 14 years.
In late February, Nolen said he planned to appoint a special panel to evaluate the nation’s air traffic system and the FAA’s safety oversight.“Nolen said he expects the conversations begun during Wednesday’s safety summit will continue in the coming weeks and months, particularly as spring and summer travel demand rebounds from the recent coronavirus pandemic,” according to the FAA’s website.
“In addition to asking industry stakeholders to develop specific short-term actions, the overall task of pursuing further safety improvements will be the subject of upcoming industry safety meetings,” the agency noted.The announced efforts by the FAA to avoid a crisis on the ground and in the skies will provide a continuing education for corporate executives and their staff on the best practices for preparing for and preventing a crisis.
