?ELEVATIONS COURSE @ VERTICON (formerly HAI HELI-EXPO)? Aviation Maintenance Never Events This course will identify the seven behaviors that lead to over 90% of reportable incidents and take a deep dive into one of the tools used to prevent these behaviors—compliance. Compliance is often assumed but seldom fully achieved. This course will examine the reasons for noncompliance, explore potential solutions to eliminate noncompliance in the workplace, and examine how culture can complicate compliance. The instructor will introduce attendees to the Take 5 Briefing Tool, which focuses on safety, standards, unresolved questions, and opportunities for improvement to eliminate distractions and ensure the right frame of mind for performing maintenance tasks. Learning Objectives By the conclusion of this course, attendees will have learned: ? The seven most costly and common aviation maintenance error-related events ? The five primary reasons for noncompliance and the conditions that cause noncompliance ? Controls to prevent noncompliance ? Tools and techniques to sustain safety and quality improvements ? The personal values and attitudes that can shift organizational culture to sustain improvements. . . . #VERTICON #VerticalAviation #AviationProfessionals #Helicopter #FutureOfAviation #AviationEvents #NetworkingOpportunity #EarlyBirdDiscount #Aviation2024 #HAI #HELIEXPO #VAI Vertical Aviation International

Join us for a crucial ?VERTICON Safety Town Hall? where we’ll focus on “rotor resilience” as we explore the importance of mental health across the vertical aviation industry. This event will delve into recognizing and responding to early signals of mental strain in ourselves and our colleagues—signals that, if addressed early, can break fatal-accident chains. In the demanding world of vertical aviation, mental health is as crucial to safety as technical skills and physical fitness. But when we experience the inevitable burnout or start craving a long overdue good night’s sleep, are those just speed bumps or a symptom of something greater that we ignore at our own peril? How can we be sure if we’re truly fit to fly? Don’t miss this lifesaving conversation!

?ELEVATIONS COURSE @ VERTICON (formerly HAI HELI-EXPO)? Advancing Leadership and Company Culture in Helicopter Operations Safety is a fundamental aspect of all helicopter operations. However, managers can sometimes unintentionally create environments that compromise safety rather than enhance it. This course focuses on leadership styles crucial for helicopter operations and emphasizes the importance of developing emotional intelligence (EQ) for managers. By improving their EQ, managers can enhance their awareness, communication, and behavior, leading to more effective leadership and stronger team cohesion. This, in turn, results in better decision-making under pressure, enhanced safety, and increased performance and productivity, meeting both business and safety objectives. Learning Objectives By the conclusion of this course, attendees will have learned how to: ? Examine various leadership styles and their impacts on helicopter operations and crew dynamics ? Identify how conscious and unconscious biases can negatively affect company culture and team cohesion ? Better comprehend EQ and its significance in effective leadership ? Foster an understanding of emotional intelligence using the EQ-i 2.0 model as a foundation. . . . #VERTICON #VerticalAviation #AviationProfessionals #Helicopter #FutureOfAviation #AviationEvents #NetworkingOpportunity #EarlyBirdDiscount #Aviation2024 #HAI #HELIEXPO #VAI Vertical Aviation International
