Executive Vice President Trish Gilbert & FAA ATO Deputy COO Tim Arel, focused on training as the lifeblood of

the importance of it. The panel welcomed panelists from across the National Airspace System: Tom Adcock,

always-present risk, a panel on "Surface Safety:
Don't let that Airport Mislead you" featured a
discussion with NATCA National Runway Safety
Rep Bridget Singratanakul (Gee), ALPA Aviation
Safety Chairman Captain Steve Jangelis, and FAA
ATO Runway Safety Manager Jim Fee.
