CASA's Tim Penney said Orange pilots have comprehensive safety training, and this campaign provides even more knowledge about how to prevent accidents and incidents.
"We will focus on issues such as fatigue, distractions and loss of situational awareness," he said.
"Lessons from past accidents and incidents will be highlighted."
Pilots will also have an opportunity to raise any local safety issues and ask questions about rules and regulations.
The Orange aviation safety seminar will be held on Wednesday at 6pm at Orange Aero Club. Bookings are essential to allow COVID-19 requirements to be met.
Book online at Eventbrite for the Pushing the Envelope seminar.
