The following post from Brent Hayward had a little trouble getting through,
so I'm giving it a little help.

PRESS RELEASE
The Fourth Australian Aviation Psychology Symposium will be held at the
Manly Pacific Parkroyal Hotel, Sydney, between 16-20 March 1998. The
theme for the Symposium will be "Aviation Resource Management".
The Symposium, to be staged by the Australian Aviation Psychology
Association (AAvPA), will provide a forward-looking forum in which new
strategies for the contributions of psychology and human factors to the
safe and effective functioning of aviation organisations and systems will be
proposed, debated and developed. The focus will be pertinent to managers and
operational personnel in both civil and military operations.
It is expected that the Symposium will attract 200 delegates from more
than 20 countries. While the primary objective of AAvPA, and the Manly
Symposium, is to expand the contribution of aviation psychology and human
factors to the safety, efficiency, and profitability of the aviation
industry within the Asia Pacific region, we are very pleased to welcome
delegates from all over the globe. Previous AAvPA symposia, held at Manly
in 1992 and 1995,
were highly successful. The 1998 Symposium will be no exception and will be
attended by delegates from a variety of Australian and international
organisations including many major airlines and regulatory, investigatory,
manufacturing, military, government, union, academic and industry bodies.
The Symposium program will again be oriented towards developing practical
solutions for the current and future challenges facing the aviation
industry. It will feature Invited Addresses from key industry experts,
followed by parallel sessions of papers submitted by delegates, and a range
of parallel Developmental Workshops. Planned workshop topics include: Air
Safety Investigation; Applied Human Factors Training; Cabin Safety;
Situation Awareness Management and Training; Training for New Technology in
ATC; and Human Factors in Aviation Maintenance and Ramp Safety. Each
workshop will be chaired by a team of domain experts, and will be oriented
towards achieving further development of knowledge and best practice within
that field.
Within these forums, the Symposium will bring together practitioners from
aviation psychology and human factors, flight operations management, safety
managers, pilots, cabin crew, air traffic controllers, engineering and
maintenance personnel, air safety investigators, staff from manufacturers
and regulatory bodies, applied industry researchers and academics.
