The Redcliffe Aero Club is very proud of our safety history. In around 40 years of operations RAC has not had a serious accident or incident and intends to continue to prioritise safety before all other considerations.

We see safety as a collective interest of anyone and everyone who is a stakeholder at RAC. Safety is not just left to the Chief Pilot or Flight Instructors, it is something we all consider as part of each and every day we operate. Had a hard landing ? No hassles....Just Report it!

What we mean by this, is we invite YOU to improve and ensure safety in our environment. Your ideas and observations are always welcome at any level. From a serious flight safety observation, to a small OH&S improvement, we encourage EVERYONE to CONTRIBUTE and work towards an accident free environment.

RAC (although not required) has introduced a safety management system. This system documents process and proceedure as to how we manage OUR safety risk. It is available to everyone to review and is a regular part of our business.

Safety at Redcliffe Aero Club is our number one consideration. Please feel very welcome to provide any feedback large or small on any safety matter directly to the safety group. Email safety@redcliffeaeroclub.com.au
