Welcome to the 2024 Aviation Safety Stand Down.  The Aviation Safety Stand Down is a FREE, annual event presenting topics and discussions to improve pilot safety in the State of Idaho.  This year we return to the Nampa Civic Center in Nampa, Idaho, on Saturday, March 9th, and the event runs from 8:00am to 4:30pm.

This year we will discuss Backcountry Safety, including Backcountry Medical care.  Since most accidents occur in the pattern, we have sessions on ways to reduce Loss-of-Control accidents.  This will include a stall/spin refresher and a discussion of float plane operations.  See the schedule for more details.

This event is sponsored by the Idaho Division of Aeronautics.  The Idaho Division of Aeronautics exists to "encourage, foster, and assist in the development of aeronautics in the state".  This includes managing 32 state-owned airports, helping Idaho airports with state and federal grants for maintenance and construction, assisting communities with zoning decisions near airports, promoting aviation safety, inspiring kids to enter careers in aviation, and coordinating aviation search and rescue.

If you are involved in aviation safety and wish to have tablespace at the event, please contact us.
