Air Boss 201: Advanced Air Boss Workshop

Monday, December 3rd 2018 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

Versailles 3-4

The air boss is the individual who controls the aviation event activities in accordance with the briefed schedule and federal regulations. In short, they must be prepared to assume responsibility for everything related to safe air and ground operations conducted as part of the air show. For more than 20 years, the ICAS Air Boss 201 Workshop has been the primary classroom learning program for new and aspiring air bosses.

NEW FOR 2018
Although Air Boss 201 has been offered in conjunction with the ICAS Convention for more than two decades, it has undergone a dramatic make-over for the 2018 ICAS Convention. With the new Air Boss Recognition Program set to become mandatory in the United States beginning January 1, 2020, ICAS has increased the Air Boss 201 Workshop from a half-day course to a full-day, eight-hour program. The range of topics covered in the workshop have been expanded. A number of subject matter experts have been added to the faculty. And ICAS has made a number of changes to the format of the program to encourage greater participation by participants and increased retention of the topics covered. And, effective with the full implementation of the Air Boss Recognition Program in early 2020, every air boss receiving a Letter of Authorization will be required to have taken either this course, Air Boss 201, or the ICAS Air Boss Academy within the last five years.

FEE: The fee for the Air Boss 201 Workshop is $295 until November 17, $320 after November 16. This workshop is not included in your convention registration fee.
