Caroline Schlemmer is a consultant in airsight’s “Airport Safety & Operations” department. She works on safety assessments, SMS implementation and projects related to the development of airport Concepts of Operations (CONOPS). Further, Caroline is an instructor for the Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation training course. 

She completed her master’s degree at the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) in 2016, after conducting her thesis at the University of Washington, Seattle. Afterwards she started working as a lecturer and research assistant at the Chair of Flight Mechanics, Flight Control and Aeroelasticity of TU Berlin. Her master’s thesis on modelling and simulating longitudinal control surfaces of a flexible aircraft formed the way for her further research on aeroservoelasticity. She presented her research results on national and international conferences and in the corresponding papers. As a university lecturer for flight mechanics, she gained comprehensive experience in teaching and sharing her knowledge in German and English. 

For airsight, she has participated in safety assessments related to non-compliant airfield requirements like non-compliant slopes. She also supported case studies assessing the feasibility of constructions sites in the vicinity of active runways. More recently, Caroline is involved in a jetblast study aiming to ensure accurate data through on-site measurements and the definition of mitigation measures in the post-processing phase.
