The United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) presented the AOPA Air Safety Foundation May 4 with one of its highest honors, the Platinum level Best Practices Award for Distance Learning Programming. The award honors the Air Safety Foundation’s wide range of online safety courses, including “Runway Safety,” “Know Before You Go,” “Essential Aerodynamics,” and “Accident Case Study: VFR into IMC.”
“Our online safety courses are an increasingly important part of our safety education outreach,” said Bruce Landsberg, president of the AOPA Air Safety Foundation. “They allow us to reach tens of thousands of additional pilots each year. We are privileged to be able to offer these courses to pilots, and honored to be recognized for their quality.”
” USDLA takes great pride and responsibility in recognizing excellence and quality,” said Reggie Smith III, president of USDLA. “Through distance learning, education, and training we can provide access to the world’s best award-winning opportunities for school children, connect higher education students globally and transform the lives and careers of working adults. We are truly on the edge of something great and these winners clearly demonstrate and confirm the transformative powers of distance learning globally.”
