IHST Background• Worldwide helicopter safety initiative
• Creation in 2006– Response to unacceptable numbers of helicopter accidents
• Goal by 2016– 80% reduction in worldwide civil helicopter accident rate
• Beyond 2016– Continue work to reduce accidents/enhance safety
Worldwide Accident CountsSuccess in reversing a trend…where we are now is much
better than where we were headed

Worldwide average of 570 accidents per year from 1997 thru 2005
Worldwide average of 515 accidents per year from 2006 thru 2012
USHSTA team of US industry and
government leaders formed to address factors affecting an
unacceptable US civil helicopter accident rate.
FOCUS
• Autorotation Training • Human Factor/ADM/CRM • CFI Training & Qualifications • Aircraft Performance • Simulator/FTD training credits (matrix)• Instrument Proficiency• Systems, Equipment and Technology • SMS
USHST Initiatives for Reducing Fatalities:
• Develop and distribute:– Fact sheets– 5 minute educational videos
• Consult with survivability experts– U.S. Army– Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI)
• Continue to support HAI’s “Land & LIVE”
FAA Short Range Initiatives• 2015 International Rotorcraft Safety
Conference– Intended industry audience is pilots/mechanics
from:• Personal/Private• Instructional/Training• Aerial Application
– Target industries account for • About 55% of U.S. rotorcraft accidents• Between 30%-40% of U.S. FATAL rotorcraft accidents
FAA Short Range Initiatives for Reducing Fatalities (continued):
FAA Safety Team Outreach Topics 2014-2015• Spatial Disorientation• Training for Emergencies• Fly the Aircraft First• Personal Minimums• CRM• Mountain Flying
• Aircraft Performance• Transition Training• Managing Unexpected
Events• Flight Risk Assessment • Medications and Pilots
FAA Medium Range Initiativesfor Reducing Fatalities:
• Non-Required Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE)– Expand beyond avionics specific applicability– Encourage NORSEE equipage of legacy U.S.
helicopters (sizable portion of U.S. fleet)
FAA Medium Range Initiativesfor Reducing Fatalities (continued):
• Update Several Outdated Part 27/29 Rules– Eliminate areas that impede safety technologies
and equipment• Update Advisory Circular to 14 CFR 21.101
– Encourage survivability improvements by providing better guidance on “significant & non-significant” changes
15+ TRAINING SAFETY BULLETINS (TSB)
• CFIT• IIMC• Pilot Currency• Autorotation Risk Management• Emergency Decision Making • Defensive Flying and Forced Landing Training • Precautionary Landings (Land & Live)

Positive Influence-”We never read about the accidents that never happened”
• Prevention…hard to quantify!
• The industry is 99.8% full of safety success stories each day…really!
• Everyone in this audience has influence…..everyone!
