February 7,
2013— Avemco Insurance Company Vice President, Mike Adams, will present “Flying the Pacific
Northwest: Findings Revealed from Avemco® Files” at the Northwest
Aviation Conference & Trade Show on February 23, 2013 in Puyallup,
Washington.
As a leader in safety advocacy,
Avemco will be launching their 2013 Safety Education Tour at the
conference. The tour will include
speaking, webinar, online, print, events and presentations. The focus will be to encourage all aviators
to participate in relevant training, offer information compiled from claims
data to help avoid accidents and provide expertise about insurance that will
benefit aircraft owners and renters.
Over 12,000 pilots are expected
to attend the annual Conference where Adams’ presentation will focus on general
claims information from accidents occurring in the Pacific Northwest including
those that didn’t make it to the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) files.
“We’re excited to kick-off our
2013 Safety Education Tour in the northwest region of the US because it
presents a set of unique challenges to new and skilled pilots. As we’ve seen
through our claims data: weather, terrain and altitude are definitely factors
and in this session you will also learn about claims that may surprise you.”
notes Adams.
Mike Adams is Avemco’s Vice
President of Underwriting and has been with the organization for over 25 years.
Formerly the President of the Oregon
Pilots Association, Adams is an instrument-rated pilot with over 750
hours. As senior underwriting officer,
his role is to determine the underwriting requirements for Avemco’s insurance
policies and to help customers understand why many of these decisions are
designed to help keep them safe.
“The Pacific Northwest was the
perfect backdrop for my formative flying years and I have a great appreciation
and respect for the high level of flying skill needed for this area. Our file case studies show losses that could have been prevented with
greater awareness and attention to issues like human factors, safety management
and pilot/aircraft preparedness,” continued Adams.
The 30th Annual
Northwest Aviation Conference & Trade Show will be held in Puyallup,
Washington February 23-24, 2013. The
Avemco presentation will begin at 3:30 p.m. in Room B/Pioneer of the Showplex
