Have you seen the new issue of FAA Safety Briefing? Notice Number: NOTC4671 Have you seen the new issue of FAA Safety Briefing? The March/April issue, available at (http://www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing/) focuses on the themes of the 4th Annual FAA Safety Standdown: building a safety community, human error, and loss of control. The issue's departments also focus on these and other key areas of GA safety. In Jumpseat (p 1), Director of Flight Standards Service John Allen describes the importance of getting to know your fellow flyers and building an aviation safety community. In her Checklist department (p 24), Editor Susan Parson reviews some of the "spring cleaning" we've done with the magazine in this issue. New cover elements, a redesigned table of contents, and new department banners are among the changes. The issue's Nuts, Bolts, and Electrons department (pg 25) looks at complacency in the workplace, while Angle of Attack (pg 28) features a Q&A with NTSB Board Member Dr. Earl Weener. Finally, this issue's FAA Faces department profiles FAASTeam Program Manager Guy Minor, whose passion is with human factors. "I speak and write from the point of view of a mechanic addressing human factors issues, as opposed to a psychologist addressing aviation issues," says Minor. For more on Minor's efforts to support a positive safety culture in aviation, see page 33.
