The 17th International Flight Inspection Symposium 2012 (IFIS 2012) is taking place in Braunschweig, Germany, from Monday, 4 June 2012 to Friday, 8 June 2012 for the second time after 1996. It is hosted by the air navigation service providers of Germany (DFS), Switzerland (skyguide) and Austria (Austro Control).

The theme for the 17th IFIS is “Waypoints to New Horizons”. Our industry is evolving rapidly and the future is taking shape on the horizon. Nevertheless, choosing and implementing the exact route to be taken presents its own challenges; many of which are already well known from earlier symposia: isolating radio frequency interference, ensuring navigation database integrity, developing meaningful flight inspection criteria and ensuring appropriate regulatory oversight of emerging technologies.

Join us at the 17th IFIS as we work together to map out the waypoints to tomorrow’s airspace system. The event presents an ideal opportunity to get to know emerging technologies, deepen existing collaborations, form new partnerships and see the latest products and services offered on the market.
