In the last issue, I wrote about some of the high points of what we are doing at Flight Safety Foundation. This month, I am going to go a little deeper into our operations and how we are able to function. First off, the support of our members is very valuable, and if you are one, we thank you! If you aren’t, then you should be. The largest amount of our operating budget comes from members’ support. The technical projects, research, advocacy, safety communication and shaping of safety culture and policy come from the support you provide through your membership.
As a matter of fact, 47 percent of the Foundation’s operating funds come from all entities of membership support. When I say all entities, I mean the individuals, institutions, governments, manufacturers, corporations, students, business aviation operations, airlines, airports, and the maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities that constitute our membership.
Later this year, the Foundation will roll out a new membership…
