The Panamanian Union of Commercial Aviators (UNPAC) kicked off Pilot Week, which is celebrated every January 30, with an agenda full of training and technology. The date puts the spotlight on those in command in the air and on safety as the main rule of the profession.
This Monday, January 26, UNPAC launched its new mobile application, created exclusively for its members. The app will allow users to digitize procedures, consult union information, and quickly access internal services, aiming to eliminate paperwork and increase efficiency. The activities continue on Wednesday, January 28th and Thursday, January 29th with the workshop “Introduction to a Pilot Career.” Key topics will be covered, such as the pilot-in-command’s responsibilities, the Safety Management System (SMS), and the State Safety Program (SSP), all cornerstones of commercial aviation.
