The Ben Hoben Safety Seminar has been awarded the 2001 Back & Bevington Safety Award for British Columbia to pay tribute to the establishment of this seminar by Ben's family. The seminar was established by Ben's family and Pacific Flying Club. Ben was a fifteen year old student pilot who died tragically November 20, 1999 in a mid-air collision in Surrey, British Columbia. He had completed his Recreational Pilot Permit flight test and was looking forward to being licenced as an RPP on his 16th birthday. He was an enthusiastic pilot whose loss is felt profoundly by all who knew him.
The yearly safety seminar is Ben's legacy to aviation. The seminar reminds all pilots that they must continually strive to improve both their own piloting skills and situational awareness.
This years seminar will be given by Gerry Binemma (formerly of Transport Canada). Gerry has presented at several previous Ben Hoben Safety Seminars, and he always provides an informative seminar. This years topic will be “Know Your Limits”. Please register with Dispatch if you plan on attending this seminar. Admission is free.
