Did “YOU” Know?
The USHST continues to work on the implementation of 16 Helicopter—Safety Enhancements (H-SE) developed through data-driven analysis of 104 fatal accidents. The H-SEs use Outreach, Policy, Technology/Equipment, and Training in an effort to reduce fatal accidents from the leading occurrence categories of Loss of Control—Inflight (LOC-I), Unintended Flight into IMC (UIMC), and striking objects during Low Altitude (LALT) ops.
H-SE 124: Understanding of Basic Helicopter Aerodynamics
Training: FAA and industry to review and revise materials explaining basic helicopter aerodynamics to emphasize recognition of unsafe aerodynamic situations and apply appropriate corrective actions.
In the U.S. there are 12,000 + helicopters, 32,000 + helicopter pilots and over 292,000 aircraft mechanics!
The USHST has identified the following industries for OUTREACH:
Personal/Private, Helicopter Air Ambulance (HAA), Commercial and Aerial Application
