Keynote Speaker: Dr Yemaya Bordain 

AI is more than a buzzword. It's also the path to unlocking higher safety, more efficiency and better pilot assistance. Dr. Yemaya Bordain will demystify AI by walking through how it was developed, how it works and why an AI-enhanced system is trustworthy, reliable, and certifiable. She will introduce nearterm applications including detection of cooperative and noncooperative traffic, navigation in GPS-denied environments, wire detection, and landing guidance for both fixed wing and rotor wing aircraft. Attendees will take away a deeper appreciation for both the underlying technology as well as the practical applications of this transformative technology.

Key Topics:

  1. Integrating Human Intelligence with Next-Gen Technology

    • Electronic vs. paper flight information (advantages/pitfalls)
    • Commercial vs. in-house manual production (revision responsibility, delays)
    • Flight plan vendors (accuracy, format, alternates, etc.)
  2. GPS Spoofing

    • Difference between spoofing and jamming (occurrence, identification, recovery)
    • Systems knowledge (GPS input removal, proactive measures)
    • Preflight considerations (NOTAMs, independent sources)
    • Developing checklists
  3. RCL

    • Removal of separate oceanic clearance requirement
    • Definition and format (ETA, requested FL/Mach)
    • Submission, route, speed, flight level

Presentation Abstract:

This will be a presentation of the technological data from a Cessna Citation Latitude (680A) accident investigation.  Material will include accident videos, CVR transcript excerpts, Garmin G-5000 data, and Cessna proprietary maintenance diagnostic Aircraft Recording System (AReS II) data.  You will see how this short flight progressed from an unstable approach into a bounced landing, an attempted go-around, and ultimately a runway excursion hull loss accident.  A final review of the NTSB probable cause statement and contributing factors, FAA Stabilized Approach Criteria, and Advisory Circular 91-79B (Mitigating the Risks of a Runway Overrun Upon Landing) will provide takeaways to improve your flying safety.

In April 1998, Carr joined the NBAA staff as manager of domestic operations. He subsequently was promoted to manager of safety and operations, director of government affairs and vice president of regulatory and international affairs. In these positions, he monitored and responded to domestic and international regulatory and legislative initiatives by Congress, FAA, TSA, CBP and other government agencies. He also provided operational-related assistance for commercial and non-commercial aircraft operators.

While at NBAA, Carr has led or participated in several landmark aviation rule making and policy efforts, including the FAA’s Fractional Ownership Aviation Rule-making Committee (FOARC), the FAA’s Part 125/135 ARC Flight and Rest Subcommittee, the Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA) ARC, TSA’s Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP) proposal, establishment of CBP’s business aviation pre-clearance program in Shannon, Ireland and updates to ICAO protocols for business aircraft, among others.

Internationally, Carr represents business aviation interests at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and has assisted with several rule making and policy efforts at the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). He serves as the corporate secretary for the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC).

Carr is a graduate of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in aviation management and an Associate of Science degree in aviation flight. Prior to his college years, he spent six years in the U.S. Navy. As part of his military duties, he worked onboard a nuclear-powered submarine where he was responsible for many aspects of the submarine propulsion system, including the operation, maintenance and repair of the nuclear reactor and support systems.
