PHIL SHAW
JEFF MCKEE
Phil is one of the world’s leading professionals in aviation
risk assessment and mitigation. He is internationally
recognised in this field, having completed projects at over
70 airports in North America, the Middle East, South
Pacific, New Zealand and Australia. Phil sat on the
International Birdstrike Committee’s Steering Committee
and is the only Australian to have done so. Phil has
written or delivered papers to more than 50 conferences.
Phil has worked as a consultant for more than 25 years
and for nearly 20 years on airports. He is owner and
Managing Director of two very successful companies –
Ecosure and Avisure. Since 1994 Phil has grown
Ecosure into an award winning company that is now one
of the largest ecology-based environmental consultancies
in Australia and Avisure in the past few years has opened
offices in Vancouver, Canada and Brasilia, Brazil.
Phil is passionate about delivering practical solutions. He
achieves this primarily by inspiring those around him.
Stakeholder and community engagement and guiding
committees are particular strengths. He has chaired,
participated in, or provided technical advice to more than
fifteen committees relating to various aviation matters.
Jeff has found a way to combine his passions through his
training as a commercial pilot and wildlife veterinarian. He
has piloted light aircraft in the remote northern Australia
as part of the national Brucellosis and Tuberculosis
Eradication Campaign, co-founded the regional Ibis
Management Coordination Group based on a significant
wildlife strike, and used Remotely Piloted Aircraft
Systems to monitor wildlife. In these and many more
projects, Jeff has played a crucial role in identifying
innovative approaches to wildlife management. His
approach is heavily influenced by his keen interest in
aviation; he gained a Commercial Pilot’s licence in 1989
and a Commercial RPAS licence in 2012.
He has over twenty years’ experience designing Aviation
Wildlife Hazard Management Programs, assessing new
methods and equipment and investigating wildlife strike
incidents. He is a member of the International Society of
Air Safety Investigators (ISASI) and was the aviation
instructor for 2WG 213 SQN Australian Air Force Cadets
(AAFC).
Jeff’s experience makes him ideally suited to support
Avisure projects particularly in the areas of quality control
and foundation science. He is also heavily engaged in
project design and developing new areas of expertise
within the company.
