The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) will host the 2nd annual Aviation Safety Stand Down Conference at South Carolina Aeronautics in Columbia, South Carolina, on 3 May 2023, from 7:45 am until 5:00 pm. Sponsors for the event include Airbus, CNC Technologies, Dallas Avionics, Tactical Flying and Trakka.
Show organiser, Sr Pilot, Aviation Safety Officer and Special Agent Cory DeArmitt explains: “The purpose and idea for hosting this event are to bring valuable training to the operators at zero cost to them. We are excited to host this free event for law enforcement agencies and other operators. Last year we had about 100 people attend the event, and we are anticipating the same level of attendance this year.”
“We are always committed to advancing safety initiatives that keep operators safe,” added Kenny Hall, Manager of Helicopter Programs for Dallas Avionics. “We sponsored last year, and the content and speakers did a great job. We are honoured to help support this event again.”
Thanks to the generosity of the sponsors, the event is free to attend, with breakfast and lunch included.
Space is still available for attendees. Attendees can fly in or park at South Carolina Aeronautics. Speakers and topics include Dr Dudley Crosson speaking on Delta P and retired SDPD Phil Cady on Tactical Flying. To reserve space, email cdearmitt@sled.sc.gov by 30 April.
