“The best friend of prevention of terrorism is information”
U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, Statement at Law Enforcement Forum Orlando, Florida, March 2002

Are you interested in personal protection and safety awareness skills that can help prevent injury and trauma in case you encounter unforeseen threats?

Then the Safe Flier Academy™ is for you. Our seminar program for enhancement of your safety has passed rigid testing. Whether you’re a private individual, crewmember, pilot, or business owner, make sure you read more about it on this page. Our goal for the future is to offer electronic sessions available right at your fingertips, and live events. Once ready, we'll present our event schedules in the Safe Flier Journal™. You may also contact our strategic training partner, Tom Patire, directly. Tell him or his team members that the Safe Flier Foundation sent you! Tom and his instructors have trained hundreds of thousands of people, including a host of crewmembers. The feedback, as presented on their website, speaks for itself!

We are neither defeatists nor alarmists. And still, it is proper to mention the following: A deadly shooting spree at Los Angeles Int’l. Airport; several air rage incidents; the near-successful Shoe Bomber attempt by Richard Reid on American Airlines Flight 63; and - more recently - the hijack attempt by David Robinson on Qantas Flight 1737… are merely examples of loud wake-up calls after 9/11.

Major lessons must be extracted from every incident that could endanger your life. Learning from foresight rather than traumatic hindsight is your prerogative today – if you choose to acquire knowledge that puts your safety before profits or any other secondary consideration. Skogrand’s evolving study project, “SAFE FLIER AFTER SEPTEMBER 11” strictly abides with this principle, as does our training. See also Skogrand's separate site on Optimal Safety.

OPTIMAL SAFE FLIER PREPAREDNESS™ SEMINAR; WHY IT RANKS HIGH AMONG CREWMEMBERS AND TRAVELERS ALIKE

We initially make this program available as a 1-day (8-hour) event to businesses, crewmembers, and the public. If requested, we also provide half-day alternatives.

In order to serve you with the best of the best in this area, we partnered with one of the most respected tactical and non-lethal personal protection strategists and training companies in the world, Tom Patire and his SkySafe™/Training for Life™ program. Combined with our own curriculum it covers almost every theoretical, mental, emotional and physical component critical to staying safe where others panic, get hurt; or even killed. Although specifically geared toward safety within the confined spaces of a commercial aircraft, the program simultaneously provides hands-on personal protection training you can use almost anywhere else in our rage infested society.

Whether you’re a business traveler, leisure traveler or crewmember, our program will multiply your preparedness and personal safety. Don’t miss out on this time tested and proven training concept. Suited to every man and woman no matter what training background or other insights you may or may not have; you can do this. We encourage you to inquire about further course details today. Send an e-mail to Training@SafeFlier.com and word your desire for more info, and we’ll get right back to you. Would you like a customized Optimal Safe Flier Preparedness™ Seminar tailored to your company and its employees? Use the same e-mail, and we'll make sure you receive exactly what you need!

As stated by Tom Patire from SkySafe™/Training for Life™:

“With instances of air rage growing at an alarming rate, we designed a program for airline personnel and frequent fliers focusing on escape and immediate diffusion techniques. Our company was the first private firm to ever design a hands-on liability conscious program. An airline passenger’s violent actions could pose a significant threat to the safety of everybody onboard a flight, whether it be on the runway or at 35,000 feet. Along with the Safe Flier Foundation™, we provide you with the tools you need to prevent or assist in preventing a violent situation that otherwise could result in a disaster for all on board.”

ASPECTS THAT MOTIVATED THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR SEMINAR PROGRAM

1. Violent confrontations frequently occur on commercial flights.
   No conscious citizen or safety expert needs additional convincing about this claim. A weekly glimpse at the news headlines alone reinforces the need for immediate change.

2. Crewmembers openly admit that they regard passengers their 1st (or sometimes 2nd) line of defense in case of future violence in the skies.
   How well prepared are leisure and business travelers today, should they be called upon as Good Samaritans or 1st-line defenders against unruly passengers or - in extreme situations - terrorists?

3. As for Optimal Safe Flier Preparedness™ - whether offered to crewmembers or regular travelers - there are two main pitfalls that need to be avoided at all cost. None of them can be avoided without actionable knowledge and training.

   1. Non-preparedness and neglect
   2. Hyper-vigilant and over-combative behavior

   In spite of, and partly due to the 9/11 attacks, both pitfalls are more prevalent and pressing than ever. Our training addresess these. We help students deal with the current aviation challenges both at the intellectual, mental, emotional, and physical level. We will provide benefits to a broad audience in North America as well as in Europe and other markets. You'll frequently seel corporately sponsored events; tailor-made to one or a few specific groups. At other times, we will serve the public through open seminars provided to general fliers (business and leisure).

4. Fliers with correct and balanced training and unbiased knowledge about lurking threats are best suited to avoid the pitfalls and their oftentimes-dreadful consequences.
   People with OPTIMAL SAFE FLIER PREPAREDNESS™ TRAINING under their belts will literally remain safer, maintain a reality-oriented attitude toward threats and sound solutions, while simultaneously enhancing the overall safety and well being of everyone around them.

I support this foundation because I believe that it offers passengers and crewmembers the support and the tools that can make flying safer for us all.”
• “Following my critical analysis and evaluation of the Safe Flier Foundation™ program, I have also accepted the honor of becoming a member of its Aviation Safety Council."
