Speakers at the three-hour seminar include EA-18G Growler pilot and RAAF SQNLDR Shannon ‘Bird’ Kennedy, who will discuss flying fast jets safely.
Meanwhile, Airservices executive general manager for air navigation services Stephen Angus’s address will cover the safety benefits of the Civil Military Air Traffic Management System (CMATS) system.
