Dimitrios Soukeras was born in Athens in 1968.In 1986 he entered the Greek Military Academy and from 1994 till 2007 he served
in Army Aviation as a helicopter pilot. He honourably retired at the end of 2007 as Lieutenant Colonel and then he dedicated
himself to end up his MBA studies with Leicester University. He holds an MBA(ER) since 2010. His thesis that was entitled:
“Developing a Safety Culture or Implementing a Safety Management System: The case of Organisations operating helicopters”
was dealing with “Safety Culture Mapping” within high risk entities and it is considered to be a valuable paper by the IHST
(International Helicopter Safety Team), which gained a permission by the author and simultaneously the right to also posting the
paper, in early 2013, on their website. He fulfilled the prerequisites to become a full member ISASI (International Society o f Air
Safety Investigators), as from time to time investigates helicopter accidents for the Greek AAIASB. The European branch of ISASI
(ESASI) had already accepted Dimitrios twice to presenting papers in the annual Seminars they offer. Dimitrios endorses and
utilises all modern tools in Incident Analysis and Risk Assessment, submitted the first final accident report to the Greek AAIASB
with the application of TRIPOD Beta methodology two years ago and he offers training and consultation for accident prevention.
