CAHF is thrilled to share insights from#InductedMemberKathy Fox.1. Can you share a memorable moment from your aviation career that had a significant impact on your life and work?Being appointed to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada - Bureau de la sécurité des transports du Canada, first as a Board Member (2007) and then as Chair/CEO (2014). I have always been interested in safety, from the time I started jumping out of airplanes at the age of 16, through my career as an air traffic controller, and as a commercial pilot and current flight instructor. To be able to influence transportation safety and make a difference over the past 16+ years at the TSB has been a significant meaningful experience for me personally. I love working with the investigators who are professional experts and passionate about their work. It’s tough work that can really make a difference by providing answers to those directly involved or families and loved ones of those lost in accidents and by making recommendations to government and industry on how to make aviation safer. My experience at the #TSB has shaped my perception of risk and influenced my own flying behaviour. It has been a real honour to serve in this capacity, and a great way to finish off my career.2. What inspired you to pursue a career in aviation, and how has your journey influenced the field of aviation in Canada?I have always wanted to fly from as early as I can remember. Perhaps it is in my genes, having 3 uncles (my mother’s older brothers) who were building and flying gliders back in the 1930s. My Uncle Norman Bruce is known as the ‘’grandfather of gliding’’ in Western Canada and paid for my first official flight lesson back in Calgary in 1967. I hope my journey has influenced the flight students I have taught, and certainly some of the work I did at TC and then at NAV CANADA where I occupied various senior management positions including as Director of #Safety and Quality (charged with implementing one of the first safety management systems in aviation in Canada); or Assistant VP, Air Traffic Services, who managed our tactical response to 9/11; or as VP, Operations, introducing the use of radar technology to improve situational awareness for flight service specialists. Certainly, now at the TSB, our work has a very significant influence on aviation safety, and I am proud to lead this organization.3. As an inductee, what message or piece of advice would you like to pass on to the next generation of aspiring aviators and aviation enthusiasts?Follow your dreams. Be persistent but flexible. Accept opportunities outside your comfort zone – you never know where they may lead. Above all, have fun!*****To donate to our Giving Tuesday campaign, please click the link in our bio!

From an organisational point of view it seems much more plausible that a separate organisation that is not part of the hirachy of the manufacturer and has several independent customers will be better suited for this kind of certification. The questions then may become: How will it be financed?

A third-party company to overview and certify the US aviation manufacturers process and the quality degree, the quality culture, adopted in the whole life cycle of the airplanes: this could be a feasible solution to improve the aeronautical sector.#FAA has shown its limit in managing #Boeing and now it could be a real problem for the further development of the aviation.

This last week was a tough one, this line of work isn't always perfect views and sunshine even as the picture shows. It's making decisions that are sometimes wrong, not always getting things right the first time, and while difficult to admit when you've been wrong, its all part of learning and growing. "You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it" - Johnny Cash #Aviation #Aviationmaintenance #AOG #Aviationtechnician #Skilledtrade #Aviationhistory #Aviationindustry #Businessaviation

As someone who utilizes aviation services, whether for business or personal travel, it's crucial to be aware of the challenges ahead. Recent projections indicate that the aviation sector will require an additional 2.3 million skilled professionals over the next two decades to meet growing demand. This includes pilots, maintenance technicians, air traffic controllers, and various other roles critical to the industry's functioning.The implications of this shortage are significant and far-reaching. Without an adequate workforce, airlines may struggle to maintain schedules, ensure safety standards, and expand services to meet the needs of passengers and cargo transport. Moreover, shortages in essential personnel could lead to increased operational costs and potentially compromise the overall efficiency and reliability of air travel.It's imperative that we take action now to mitigate the impact of this impending crisis.
