What does the safety officer do?

• Encourages safer flying through the provision of educational courses. (First Aid courses and the Big Fat Re-packs are examples of these)
• Acts as a liaison between the BHPA and pilots within a club to improve communication relating to safety.
• Supports people involved in incidents or accidents and ensures these are documented and that lessons can be learned.
• Helps all fellow pilots learn from previous incidents or accidents.Help temper the more aggressive or inconsiderate pilot's attitude.

 
What to do in the case of an accident

• Administer First Aid.
• Call the emergency services if necessary.
• Complete an incident report form.

If it's a bad accident send a message with your contact details to the club safety officer

 
What to do if you encounter inconsiderate flying

• Chat to the person, discuss the issue, if that fails report the pilot to the club safety officer

What will then happen?

• We will debrief the pilots and see what can be learned from their experience.
