A new association has been launched for procedural experts working within the field of air navigation, called the International Association of Procedures Experts.

The main objective of this non-profit making association is to create a platform for people working within this field to exchange ideas, discuss current issues and future topics that will affect this area of the aviation industry which is becoming increasingly complicated and controversial.

The formation of IAPE follows an initiative by Wavionix Software Ltd, the industry leaders in procedures design software.  Says Wavionix Managing Director, Patrick Aisher; "further to feedback from procedural experts world-wide, it became clear to us that a facility was required for people working within this highly specialised field to have an opportunity to exchange ideas. Depending on response, the intention is to organise the first IAPE conference towards the end of 1998 "
