Has Been With ASF For 17 Years
In recognition of 17 years' effort, AOPA Air Safety Foundation
Executive Director Bruce Landsberg was named President of the
foundation on Friday, Craig L. Fuller, president of the Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association, announced.
"During his time at the Air Safety Foundation, Bruce has shown
tremendous capability to develop industry-leading safety training
programs and to raise the money necessary to provide those programs
free of charge to all pilots," said Fuller. "His efforts have made
the AOPA Air Safety Foundation the first stop for general aviation
pilots who are striving to become safer pilots."
During Landsberg's tenure, the Air
Safety Foundation has continued to develop and host in-person
safety seminars that reach tens of thousands of pilots annually at
hundreds of locations across the United States. ASF has also
expanded its scope and reach with a vigorous online education
effort that now reaches hundreds of thousands of pilots each
year.
In addition to his public speaking efforts and contributions to
AOPA publications, Landsberg also serves on numerous committees and
boards. He works with the FAA, NTSB, National Weather Service,
several colleges and universities representing general aviation
safety, along with the Air Safety Foundation’s and AOPA's
interests. He holds Airline Transport Pilot and Certificated Flight
Instructor certificates and has more than 6,000 flight hours.
The AOPA Air Safety Foundation, the world’s largest
non-profit general aviation safety organization, was founded in
1950 solely to help general aviation pilots improve flight safety.
Since that time, the general aviation total accident rate has
dropped by more than 90 percent despite a large increase in general
aviation flight hours. ASF produces live seminars, online
interactive courses, videos, written Safety Advisors and other
aviation safety materials for free distribution to all general
aviation pilots.
