ESAM, the representatives of EASA-MeSafe project and EPPSI have supported the Civil Aviation Authority of the Republic of Moldova in the organization of the Workshop on Mental Fitness of Aviation Personnel. This event was held on September 28-30, 2023, in Chisinau, Moldova.

The event united in Chisinau more than 60 specialists in aviation and aviation medicine (AMEs, medical assessors, psychologists, operational managers) from different states: Moldova, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Netherlands, Norway, Belgium and Ireland. Participants shared the methods of assessment, treatment and safety management of the mental health conditions of the aviation personnel in order to ensure flight safety.

Experts from EASA-MeSafe Project presented data of the research that was done so far in diagnosis, treatment of mental health conditions which can pose a risk for aviation safety and would consequently lead to pilots’ and Air Traffic Control Officers’ unfitness.

Also, special attention was given to Peer Support Programs dedicated to civil aviation personnel from various countries.

Dear Colleagues,

The ESAM Executive Committee met in Lisbon last weekend. We thank our Portuguese friends for making the meeting possible and sharing with us the plans for the ICAM next year. They provided us with facilities at the Ordem dos Medicos and brought us to the venue for the ICAM at the Aula Magma, Lisbon University.

Dear EAAP members and partners,

We are very excited to announce that the EAAP Advisory Group on Selection is organising an EAAP Selection Seminar on 27th and 28th September 2023 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The seminar will be free of charge and aims to bring selection professionals working in aviation together and will be kindly hosted by The Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR).
As we realise that not everyone interested will be able to travel to The Netherlands we will also be offering the possibility to follow the seminar online.
