Directorate of Flight Safety Promotion Manager

The Directorate of Flight Safety aims to eliminate the accidental loss of aviation resources or at least provide inputs to reduce the operational risk under which our personnel and aircraft operate. One of the key tools to raise the awareness of personnel associated with air operations is a good promotional program. The objective of the Flight Safety Promotion Program is to facilitate the maintenance of a strong and committed FS culture within all organizations that conduct or support DND / CF flying operations. An active and visible Flight Safety Promotion Program designed to engender full participation in the Flight Safety Program at the tactical, operational and strategic levels is an excellent way to achieve the objectives of the Flight Safety Program with a relatively small investment. The CF Flight Safety Program uses a series of briefings, Flight Safety documents/publications and awards as the main mechanisms for the Promotion Program.
It is intended to award a one-year contract, with the option to extend for two (1) one-year periods at the Crown’s discretion.

This is a new requirement.
