Helicopter safety - Curt Lewis

It is interesting to note that I have never heard or read that two duly certificed pilots and two engines in commercial helicopter operations is worth discussing. These requirements are good, old IFALPA Policy. Even today. (Ed.)

HAI to form working group to address gaps in air safety

Helicopter Association International (HAI) is working with industry and other interested parties to learn from the tragic results of recent helicopter accidents. We strongly believe it is in the best interests of the industry and the general public to prevent similar accidents from occurring in the future.

To meet this objective, HAI will form a working group comprised of interested, relevant participants. Once the participants are identified, the working group will meet in the Washington, D.C., area to examine the applicability and appropriateness of existing regulations as they relate to certain mission profiles.

"Our goal is, and always will be, zero accidents in the helicopter industry," says Matt Zuccaro, president and CEO of HAI. "We expect this working group to identify safety, regulatory, and best practice gaps affecting elements of our industry and then find effective solutions that are quickly achievable. We owe it to our members and the public to work together to remove impediments to operational safety."

HAI will be contacting representatives from member operators to participate, but any interested party may request to join the group. For more information, interested parties should contact Dr. Steve Sparks, HAI's director of safety, at safety.assistant@rotor.org by March 30.
