Captain Ott, who is Director of Government Contracting as well as lead international captain/instructor pilot for worldwide air ambulance provider Phoenix Air Group, Inc., accepted the award at the 23rd annual Bombardier Safety Standdown on November 13, 2019, during a gala awards dinner.

He is a designated IS-BAO auditor, a member of the International Business Aviation Council’s IS-BAO standards board and the communications and events team lead for the NBAA Safety Committee.
“On behalf of Bombardier, I wish to congratulate Michael Ott for his great passion and his exemplary leadership in promoting aviation safety and professionalism in our industry,” said Andy Nureddin, Vice President, Customer Support, Bombardier Aviation. “With Safety Standdown, we’ve created a forum where aviation professionals can acquire up-to-date tools and information with which to elevate their standards and reduce aviation safety risks. The Safety Standdown Award furthers this endeavour by celebrating individuals who are role models in the field and have made a real difference day-to-day.”

Attendance to the Safety Standdown is free to all aviation professionals as safety is a top commitment to the flying public. Next year’s event will be held in Wichita, Kansas.

In 2010, Safety Standdown expanded beyond the seminars into a year-round global human factors program offering online resources.
