Why?
Many helicopters save lives and others
enable the otherwise impossible.
Helicopters are safe, but some are not
operated as safely as they could be.
Some passengers have no choice.
Others don’t know any difference.
We know how to make flying on a helicopter much safer.
Every accident is our accident.

Key Endorsements at Heli-Expo 2010 and IHSS 2010
In a ringing endorsement of the IHST safety initiative, the CEO’s of
AgustaWestland, Bell Helicopter Textron, Eurocopter and Sikorsky Aircraft
signed a joint letter captioned “A Call for Action by Helicopter Owners.” and “Ten
Major Offshore Operators” signed a joint letter of commitment captioned “Call
to Action by and for Offshore Helicopter 0perators”
• The letters call upon all operators “to
implement the safety enhancements
recommended by the International
Helicopter Safety Team (IHST).”
• The areas cited in the letters are the
adoption of:
– Safety Management Systems (SMS)
– Improved Training
– Use of advanced systems/equipment
•
•
Flight data monitoring systems (FDM)
Health monitoring systems (HUMS)
– Use of mission-specific equipment
•
•
Night vision goggles
Avionics to avoid controlled flight into terrain
– Strict compliance with manufacturer’s
maintenance program
– Cultural/Behavioural Change, and
– Crew Resource Management (CRM) Program

Heli-Expo 2011 - A Call for Action by HEMS Organizations
“A Call to Action by and Helicopter Emergency Medical
Services Organizations” – AAMS, AeroMed, ACCT, AMOA, EHAC,
MedEvac, NEMSPA.
The letter calls upon “all those who operate helicopters in the HEMS
environment to implement the safety enhancements recommended
by the IHST.”
The areas cited in the letter are the adoption of:
•Safety Management Systems (SMS)
•Improved Training
•Use of advanced systems/equipment
•Flight data monitoring systems (FDM)
•Health monitoring systems (HUMS)

Current State Summary
• The IHST has produced tools that can
deliver the 80% accident rate reduction.
• The tools are effective.
• The best operators have already proved
them!
How can we reach those who
haven’t heard or heeded the
IHST’s recommendations?
Revised Strategy
• Leverage contacts with license holders
–
–
–
–
Regulators
Insurers
OEMs and associations operator events
Best operators
• Focus on the training sector
– Current highest source of accidents
– Opportunity to create a safety mindset in new pilots
IHST - CHANGING THE GAME
Is it enough?
• In 2005, there were 436 civil helicopter accidents
worldwide.
• In 2011, there were 382 civil helicopter accidents
worldwide.
• We have seen progress, but not enough.
