The Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Award was established in 1956, in memory of Laura Taber Barbour[1]. It recognizes and celebrates remarkable contributions in the field of aviation safety since 1956[2]. One winner is selected each year from across the world by an award committee consisting of well-respected aviation professionals[3]. The award is usually presented at the International Air Safety Seminar of the Flight Safety Foundation. Notable winners include:
Don Bateman[4][5]: for his leadership in developing Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) equipment that has been instrumental in reducing controlled flight into terrain (CFIT).
Pilar Vera Palmés: For her extraordinary international humanitarian efforts in support of the victims of aviation accidents and their families over the last decade[6]
James Martin[7]: for his leadership in the design and development of low altitude ejection seats of exceptional performance.
The most recent winner was Susan E. Northrup, MD., MPH.
In April 2024, the Flight Safety Detectives dedicated an episode of their YouTube show to the award[8]
