Company support helps pilots keep flying safely
The National Business Aviation Association presents Pilot Safety Awards each year to member-company pilots with exemplary safety records.

The National Business Aviation Association presents Pilot Safety Awards each year to member-company pilots with exemplary safety records. To be eligible for an award, a pilot must have flown corporate aircraft 1,500 hours without an accident, but the actual number of safe hours flown by many of the top pilots comes close to 30,000 hours.

This year’s top five have appeared in these pages before. As we have in the past, NBAA Convention News talked with the top pilots–George Thomsen of Aviation Management Systems, Edward Drennan of Publix Supermarkets (who recently retired), Gordon Czelusta of Rich Products Corp. and J. Paul Boening of Keller Companies–to learn their safe-flying secrets. Together, the top five have flown 130,948 safe corporate flight hours.
