CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
THE FLIGHT OPERATIONS MANAGER
IN THE 21ST CENTURY
HOW SHOULD THE TRANSITION FROM COCKPIT TO OFFICE BE MADE?
LONDON / 17 - 18 MARCH 2015
Following on from the successful ‘The Aircraft Commander
in the 21st Century’ series of conferences, The Flight
Operations Group (FOG) of the Royal Aeronautical Society
(RAeS) is continuing its theme of aviation leadership in the
21st Century with its next conference on 17 - 18 March
2015.
For some time the Group has been concerned about the
way pilots transition from the cockpit to flight operations
management. In most other management roles within
today’s airlines there is a career progression that prepares
the manager for each new role. However, in the case of
flight operations management, a pilot is often promoted
straight from the cockpit into a management role with no
previous applicable experience or training. There is a massive
transition from the very specific and specialist environment
of the cockpit to a general management role that requires
the new manager to lead, manage and motivate a group of
crewmembers. The requirements for nominated persons
(post-holders) are regulated, but the requirements for other
management roles are not.
This conference will examine the role of the flight operations
manager. Leading airlines from around the world will present
their best practices and advice. In addition, experts from
other businesses and industries will present their views on
the essential skills that a new flight operations manager
needs, such as labour relations, budgeting, and project
management. Most importantly, workshops will provide real
tools and methods for prospective, new or experienced flight
operations managers to take away and use.
“An excellent conference, with a variety of enthusiastic
and knowledgable speakers. One of the most worthwhile
conferences I have been to.” Susan Buckle, Telespazio VEGA,
referring to the 2014 Aircraft Commander in the 21st
Century Conference.
The airing given to this topic will be of interest to training
providers & managers, instructors & examiners, aircrew,
manufacturers, regulators and operators together with their
fleet managers and dispatchers.
Regardless of your role, the 2015 RAeS Flight Operations
Conference will provide a unique opportunity to engage with
industry leaders, discuss the issues and influence the work
required to resolve them.
