Hong Kong's Director of Civil Aviation Albert Lam stressed on
first-rate training and operation in ensuring maximum air safety at
an international air safety seminar held Thursday in Hong Kong.
"No matter how advanced the technology becomes, we must maintain
the highest standards of training and operational procedures to
ensure maximum air safety, and, furthermore, adapt to the changes,"
he said at the International Federation of Air Line Pilots'
Associations Asia and Pacific Air Safety Seminar.
He
pointed out that the technological advances achieved in the modern
day cockpit in areas such as flight management systems and
electronic centralized aircraft monitoring system have, under
certain conditions, reduced the pilot's workload which is a major
positive factor.
"However, the 'complacency' generated by these advances is a
subject worth discussing," he noted.
