Hazell—a former Royal Air Force squadron commander and Top Gun instructor—shared personal stories from his military aviation career, including a near-death ejection that underscored the life-saving power of simulation-based training. He connected those lessons to the drilling environment, where high pressure, split-second decision-making, and teamwork are just as critical.
CAVU's David Hazell is set to speak at the IADC Well Control Conference ont he topic of “Enhancing Well Control Training through Simulation and Crew Resource Management (CRM)” -- in this presentation David will discuss challenging the status quo of training in high-risk environments—and propose a bold, proven alternative.
CAVU partnered with an offshore client to eliminate life-altering injuries by transforming how teams communicate before, during, and after high-risk work. Through coaching, trust-building, and a focus on Life Saving Rules and Actions, we helped crews identify and mitigate serious hazards in real time.

We’re proud to announce the addition of three exceptional coaches to our global team—each bringing decades of real-world experience in high-stakes environments and a shared passion for shaping safer, stronger teams.
Many organizations face the challenge of progressing from a reactive, compliance-based safety culture to one where safety is naturally integrated into the organization's decision-making, leadership, and daily behaviors. The HSE Culture Ladder framework offers an insightful approach to help organizations assess and enhance their safety culture, transitioning them to a proactive safety mindset that drives long-term success.
We recognize the immense demands and expectations placed on police agencies worldwide. CAVU brings profound leadership and operational experience, addressing the exact challenges leaders face, and delivering immediate, lasting performance enhancements for stronger agencies and safer communities.
Traditional leadership methods, like Leadership-By-Walking-Around, are not feasible with a geographically dispersed team. Instead, leaders must embrace creativity and leverage technology, such as video conferencing and webinars, to stay connected. Ensuring leaders are proficient with these tools is crucial, as they must be part of the solution, not the problem.

Many leaders rise to their positions based on their knowledge, technical skills, aptitude, and performance. These are primarily left-brain, rational activities. However, Emotional Intelligence is a right-brain activity that involves emotion and wisdom. Properly developing this aspect can enhance leadership abilities beyond just analytical skills.
