The Flight Safety Office is currently staffed by 4 personnel comprising of 1 Lieutenant Colonel, 1 Captain, 1 Sergeant Major and 1 Sergeant.
In addition to the personnel outlined, the Deputy will appreciate that, similar to all aviation organisations, flight safety responsibilities extend across a range of roles and personnel in the Air Corps, including, for example, the General Officer Commanding the Air Corps as Director of Military Aviation, commanding officers, squadron commanders, aircraft commanders, pilots and the technical staff who maintain and certify aircraft.
