Presenters described concrete interventions the GAJSC has promoted: enhanced pilot training, development and sharing of best practices for aircraft owners, and encouraging the installation of life‑saving technologies such as angle-of-attack indicators. "That work has led to targeted safety improvements from enhanced pilots training and making best practices for aircraft owners installing life saving safety technology like angle of attack indicators," Presenter (S2) said. The presenters urged continued adoption of those practices across the aviation community.
