The Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) has recognized two individuals for their contributions to aviation safety. Capt. Bertrand de Courville of Air France was awarded the Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Award and David Learmount received the Cecil A. Brownlow Publication Award. Capt. de Courville, director of flight safety at Air France, has been a leader in the development of confidential event reporting and flight data monitoring analysis systems that enable the carrier to build effective risk mitigation strategies. In addition, Capt. de Courville is responsible for the airline's first crew resource management training program and is involved in the implementation of a corporate safety management system. Mr. Learmount has written for many years about the intricacies of aviation safety issues for Flight International magazine. "Both of these men set an example for everyone in their fields," said FSF President and CEO William R. Voss. "Capt. de Courville's work is exactly what we like to recognize with the Barbour award, and Mr. Learmount writes in a way that makes important aviation safety issues understandable to everyone."
