Wire strikes continue to be a significant contributor to helicopter and fixed wing general aviation accidents.  Although these accidents are not always fatal, about 30% do result in a fatality. Not only is there the cost of a human life, these strikes can also have enormous economic impacts on the aircraft owners, utilities, and general public. 

The FAA would like to thank Southern California Edison and Helicopter Association International (HAI) for partnering on an effort to educate the flying public on "Surviving the Wires Environment" and producing and providing a video for all to view.  The FAA encourages all pilots and flight crew to watch this informative video. You can watch the video by clicking here.
