National Safety Month Is Evolving!

Over the years, National Safety Month has become an important part of the RAAus safety calendar; helping generate valuable safety conversations across the recreational and wider aviation community.

At the same time, feedback from members has shown that trying to fit a large amount of safety content into a single month can sometimes feel overwhelming. Like many areas of aviation, there is no shortage of information available to pilots and instructors.

Effective safety education is not simply about providing more information, but providing practical and relevant information that members can genuinely engage with and apply to their flying.

With that in mind, we will be changing the way we deliver our safety campaigns moving forward. Rather than running a single National Safety Month each year, we will now deliver a series of shorter and more focused safety campaigns across the year under the new National Safety Series banner.

This new approach will allow us to deliver more practical, timely and targeted safety information throughout the year; helping members better engage with important topics and apply key lessons directly to their flying activities.

This approach has also received strong support from a number of our regular contributors and safety sponsors, who recognised the benefits of more focused safety messaging and greater opportunities for ongoing member engagement.
