Training opportunity in the Top End

Peter Ball from CASA sent this through - apologies if you have already received it.

Top level training opportunities usually combine the need to send staff away for long periods with associated high cost involvement.
Thankfully this is not always the case;

I have been approached by the International Society of Air Safety Investigators(ISASI) to determine the level of interest in running one of their
"Reachout" courses in Darwin in the October/November period.
You can research "ISASI" and "reachout program" on the ISASI website;
http://www.isasi.org/reachout_tp.html

This would be an excellent opportunity to obtain targeted training delivered locally for minimal cost. ISASI are a not for profit organisation,
as a result the cost of the training will be between 300 to $400 per person depending on number of participants.
This money is used to cover costs of air travel and accommodation for program staff and cost of venue hire.
A draft copy of the course content is attached, the course could be shortened to three days without a dramatic reduction in content.

New procedures for non-towered aerodromes

I went to a CASA safety presentation the other day. John Bradley, Steve Allen, Vince Cassaniti (late again), Ron Lawford, Skippy and myself made up the TEFC representation at the presentation, again hosted by the extremely professional Peter Ball who chaired a great presentation by Mark Richardson (Richo) who is no stranger to Darwin or these presentations.
