Dear SIAE members, fellow aviation professionals and friends,
The Singapore Institute of Aerospace Engineers (SIAE) is holding our third Café Aeronautique at the Singapore Science Centre on Thursday, 29 May 2014, at 7 pm. Café Aeronautique is our regular networking event for aviation professionals, where we invite you to share your thoughts about aviation while enjoying an evening over food and drinks with aviation professionals.
In this Café Aeronautique, we focus on the air transport system and how it affects you.
For the distances flown and the number of people flying, air travel is certainly, statistically, incredibly safe. But when a major accident and event occurs, many doubts are raised. Unfortunately for the non-expert, the reports are often difficult to understand. The multiple systems used by airplanes to transport passengers form a complex web.
The Singapore Institute of Aerospace Engineers and Science Centre Singapore have gathered a panel of experts to explain some of the technical details of these complex systems. The panel consists of a former US-FAA aviation accident investigator, an air traffic management expert and a veteran avionics engineer who will present the technical operation of an airliner and the systems that make flying orderly and safe. The objective of this panel discussion is to explain the technical terms used in media reports in order to help the audience understand the complexity and uncertainties in air incident reporting.
Come join us for an evening of interesting discussions at the Singapore Science Centre.
Our panelists are :
