In the middle of the exhibition hall, you'll find an exhibit devoted to the collaborative relationship between NATCA and the Federal Aviation Administration. Collaboration means both parties taking responsibility to engage in meaningful dialogue with their counterparts. is includes making a genuine effort to ensure that both parties' interests have been identified and as many as possible have been addressed before an outcome is determined. e NATCA and FAA Collaboration Facilitators, who offer collaborative skills training and collaboration consulting, are part of the CFS exhibit. Several programs covering safety and professional standards are highlighted in the exhibit. Here's a look at each of the programs that you'll find highlighted and discussed. Partnership for Safety (PFS) is local people solving local issues. rough a facility's Local Safety Council, it puts facility-centric data in the hands of the facility's team – the best people to solve the issues. PFS is a joint effort between the FAA and NATCA that encourages employees to become actively engaged in identifying local hazards and developing safety solutions before incidents occur. All Points Safety is a communications campaign designed to raise awareness of how the FAA Air Traffic Organization (ATO) and NATCA are collaboratively providing employees with improved tools, processes, and programs that enhance our ability to collect, find, and fix hazards in the National Airspace System. Take a Stand for Safety is a joint campaign between the ATO and NATCA to address emerging trends and hot topics related to safety, such as weather and IFR/VFR conflicts. Together, we are addressing safety myths, encouraging controllers to issue weather early and oen, solicit PIREPs, complete the weather picture for pilots, call traffic, issue safety alerts, work with pilots to avoid IFR/VFR conflicts, and save lives on a daily basis.
