Our ultimate goal. Fly safe.Why was this meeting started?What is my job? (Shane Alcock)safety@eaglesportaviation.org(904) 708-5857Safety

IF YOU HAVE TO ASK IF IT IS SAFE THEN YOU SHOULD NOT DO IT!2011 ESA Safety AuditConducted by Anthony Brickhouse Identified Strengths and Weaknesses of ESAOffered some opportunities for us to improve our operations

The organization has a strong safety culture, with competent leadership in place. Members of the ESA Club are serious about safety as well. However, the underlying issue discovered from both assessments shows that complacency is one of the highest threats to the ESA and has yet to fully be resolved. Even though the nature of flight activity that ESA Club performs is quite open, club members (including its leaders and instructors) should always follow the rules, guidelines, and procedures set for the club
