Title:
The Things I Have Seen OEM Accident Investigation Takeaways
Topic:
Lessons Learned in Accident Investigations
Speaker(s):
Dave Blair, Randy Engberg, Seth Buttner
Brief Description:
Few people in aviation have looked as closely at what goes wrong as the accident investigators at the major helicopter OEMs. Over long careers, these panelists have walked accident sites, sifted through wreckage and pieced together the final moments of flights that too often ended in tragedy. In this panel, they share the cases that stayed with them, the patterns they see again and again, and how those unforgettable experiences can become awareness on the front line, on the hangar floor and in the maintenance shops. Come ready to listen, ask questions and take home lessons no one should have to learn the hard way.
