10. IHST = Worldwide Effort 500 Volunteers in 40 Countries Growing each Year First 5 Years 2006 - 2010 The IHST stood up Safety Teams in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Brazil, India, Japan, GCC/MENA, and Australia. Next 5 Years 2011-2016 To ensure we meet the 80% accident reduction by 2016 the IHST is expanding and refocusing efforts in South America and Australia. New efforts initiated in New Zealand, and South Africa. The IHST will continue on-going work in US, Canada, Europe, India, Japan, GCC/MENA, Mexico and Russia. Beyond 2016 Continued initiative to reduce the accident rate. Revised goal is Zero accidents. 10

11. IHST = Worldwide EffortGovernment and Industry - Partners In Safety IHST follows a process adapted from the successful Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) Key attributes: Data driven recommendations Regional ownership – Data is owned and analyzed by those familiar with it. Safety recommendations are implemented by teams most familiar with local challenges and needs. Key resources provided by regulatory bodies, associations, operators, original equipment manufacturers and customers. US and European Regional teams are available for: Sharing analysis tools and products Training and coaching regional teams, Measuring the results

12. Key Endorsements at Heli-Expo 2010 and IHSS 2010In a ringing endorsement of the IHST safety initiative, the CEO’s of AgustaWestland, Bell Helicopter Textron, Eurocopter and Sikorsky Aircraft signed a joint letter captioned “A Call for Action by Helicopter Owners.” and “Ten Major Offshore Operators” signed a joint letter of commitment captioned “Call to Action by and for Offshore Helicopter 0perators” The letters call upon all operators “to implement the safety enhancements recommended by the International Helicopter Safety Team (IHST).” The areas cited in the letters are the adoption of: Safety Management Systems (SMS) Improved Training Use of advanced systems/equipment Flight data monitoring systems (FDM) Health monitoring systems (HUMS) Use of mission-specific equipment Night vision goggles Avionics to avoid controlled flight into terrain Strict compliance with manufacturer’s maintenance program Cultural/Behavioural Change, and Crew Resource Management (CRM) Program

13. Heli-Expo 2011 - A Call for Action by HEMS Organizations • In an endorsement of the IHST safety initiative, the following seven HEMS Organizations signed a joint letter of commitment captioned • “A Call to Action by and Helicopter Emergency Medical Services Organizations” – AAMS, AeroMed, ACCT, AMOA, EHAC, MedEvac, NEMSPA. • The letter calls upon “all those who operate helicopters in the HEMS environment to implement the safety enhancements recommended • by the IHST.” • The areas cited in the letter are the adoption of: • Safety Management Systems (SMS) • Improved Training • Use of advanced systems/equipment • Flight data monitoring systems (FDM) • Health monitoring systems (HUMS) • Cultural/Behavioural Change, and • Aeromedical Crew Resource Management (CRM) Programs

19. Developing a New Safety Culture The IHST US Safety Teams recommends operators, pilots, instructors, and mechanics follow the strategies listed below to enhance safety and reduce accidents. Safety Management System Develop and provide a “just culture” environment. Integrate a Safety Management System into the operation. Develop objective risk assessment within the operation. Training Sustain initial and recurrent training for flight & maintenance crews. Provide specialized training in Aeronautical Decision Making. Provide frequent simulator training. Maintenance Insist on strict adherence to required maintenance processes and procedures. Advance Systems Equip helicopters with economical flight data monitoring technology, NVG,HTAWS, ADS-B, and avionics to support RNP/WAAS PINS approaches and LL IFR route structure
