  1. THE HELIOS ACCIDENT & LESSONS TO BE CONSIDERED April 29, 2010 “Panos” (Panagiotis V. Stathopoulos) Major HAF/F16 Pilot, MSc

  2. An investigation into appropriate actions to be taken in the event of pilot incapacitation in a commercial aircraft, and whether cabin crew would be able to fulfill these actions

  3. IntroductionDeparture – InterceptFinal DescentCausesPilot incapacitationResearch Accident AnalysisAccident common pointsIncapacitation factorsSafety barriersResearch Concept Analysis of similar accidents • 1955, Wyoming, UA 406, 66 Fatalities • 1972, Staines, BEA 548, 118 Fatalities • 2001, Shanksville, UA93, 44 Fatalities • 2005, Grammatiko, HCY522, 121 Fatalities • Near miss due to aircraft systems design

  4. IntroductionDeparture – InterceptFinal DescentCausesPilot incapacitationResearch Accident AnalysisAccident common pointsIncapacitation factorsSafety barriersResearch Concept Common points during incapacitation • Non critical phase of flight • High altitude • Aircraft was flying uncontrollable • Interceptors • Somebody was alive before impact/crash • Medical factors and terrorism

  5. IntroductionDeparture – InterceptFinal DescentCausesPilot incapacitationResearch Accident AnalysisAccident common pointsIncapacitation factorsSafety barriersResearch Concept Pilot Incapacitation factors • Hypoxia • Terrorism • Cardiovascular • Gastrointestinal

  6. IntroductionDeparture – InterceptFinal DescentCausesPilot incapacitationResearch Accident AnalysisAccident common pointsIncapacitation factorsSafety barriersResearch Concept Measures against Pilot Incapacitation Proactive • 1% rule, two pilot operations • Medical screening • Hypoxia theory training • Meals policy • Cockpit locked door • CRM training • Flight deck regular checks Reactive • Cabin crew for Single pilot incapacitation • Technical knowledge

  11. Cabin crew need to do Cabin crew would doFindingsResearch recommendations IntroductionDeparture – InterceptFinal DescentCausesPilot incapacitationResearch Research findings Cabin crew would… • …deal with situation, but communication uncertainty… • …wait for guidance – instructions… • …develop CRM skills… • …consider any impending danger… • …be unaware for Autopilot Disengage SW… • …would not be able to tune ILS frequency… Cabin Crew may… • …recognise cockpit controls with an external guidance… Communication is mandatory
