THE AMERICAN AIRLINES
SAFETY AWARD

The American Airlines Safety Award is presented annually to the College or University, which has an outstanding safety record and demonstrates the most innovative approach to further aviation safety.

American Airlines pilots meet with team safety representatives (no coaches please) from each school attending SAFECON, to determine the best overall approach to aviation safety.    Documentation should be in the form of a safety album and other flight safety related items accumulated by the flight team during the current academic year.    Items from previous years and teams should be excluded.

The American Airlines Safety Team is most interested in the endeavors of the Flight Team members to promote aviation safety, rather than the operating procedures set forth by the schools.   We realize that in the world of Intercollegiate Aviation, safety is exemplified within all school programs.
