TrustFlight will be at Bombardier’s Safety Standdown 2026, taking place in Wichita, Kansas, USA on November 10-12, 2026. Hosted by Bombardier in the city that is home to Bombardier Group’s US headquarters and Bombardier Defense, Safety Standdown is the company’s flagship annual safety event. More than 10,000 corporate, commercial, and military aviation professionals have attended since it began in 1996.
About Safety Standdown 2026
Safety Standdown began as a human factors seminar run by a Learjet flight demonstration team. Its 30th edition carries the theme “Evolution Fueled by Legacy”. The theme looks back at three decades of safety thinking and asks how that knowledge is carried forward to the next generation of aviation professionals.
More than 400 people are expected in Wichita, with hundreds more joining by live webcast. The three-day programme combines workshops, presentations, and networking. The event is free and open to all aviation professionals, including pilots, maintenance engineers, cabin crew, dispatchers, and support staff, whatever aircraft type they work on.

Meet TrustFlight at Safety Standdown 2026
TrustFlight is the Aerospace Safety Intelligence Platform. The Standdown’s theme raises a question every flight department eventually faces: when experienced people move on, does their safety knowledge stay with the organisation? Too often it lives in spreadsheets, inboxes, and paper records that no one else can find. When safety information is scattered like that, a culture of proactive compliance is hard to sustain.
Our team in Wichita will be able to walk through how the platform keeps that knowledge in one place. Centrik 5 covers safety, quality, and risk management and is used by 200,000+ aviation professionals across 100+ countries. Centrik SmartDocs and Smart Regulations, within the Centrik ecosystem, provide AI-assisted manual authoring and regulatory change tracking. Our Tech Log gives operators a compliant digital source of truth for maintenance and operations, with 30+ integrations.
Behind all of it, TrustFlight connects safety and compliance technology with security assurance through Redline Assured Security and crisis management and response through Kenyon International into one platform. Trusted by 1,600+ organisations across 120 countries.
If you are maturing your safety management system, moving maintenance records off paper, or looking for better ways to capture and share safety data across your team, we would be glad to talk it through.
