International Helicopter Safety Team Overview Briefing

1. International Helicopter Safety Team Overview Briefing Mark Liptak FAA ASA-100 IHST Program Director

2. We have a worldwide problem!

3. September 2005 – Montreal International Helicopter Safety Symposium (IHSS) 300 attendees from the worldwide helicopter community Unanimous position reached – unacceptable trends International Helicopter Safety Team (IHST) formed

4. updated May ‘09 Worldwide participation is key to success

5. Factors That Led To Breakthroughs in Major Fatal Accident Rates Since 1946 Pressurized Aircraft into fleet Earliest ILS Broad implementation of VOR and DME Radar introduced at selected towers Improved Technology – Vickers Turboprop, DC-7, Lockheed Electra ATC centers - RADAR and radio contact with cruise aircraft Long-Range radar centers Jet Engine; 707 (1958) & DC-8 VOR/DME integrated into autopilot precision approaches Major Fatal Accidents Per Million Departures FMS CRM & 6-Axis Simulator & FDR Windshear Cabin Safety RNAV (processing VOR/DME & basic Instruments) GPWS, TCAS; Early automation FOQA/ASAP & ATC Data RJ Revolution New Large Jets Cooperative safety agenda

6. Factors That Will Lead To Breakthroughs in Helicopter Accident Rates IHST Formed Introduction of a scalable SMS tool ? Cooperative partnerships with insurers Widespread use of safety accreditation programs ? Helicopter Accidents per Exposure Cockpit imaging systems ? ? 2014 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2011 2012 2013 2016 2010 2015 ' How will we fill in the boxes?

7. IHST is a volunteer effort Analysis and implementation processes developed by the IHST, used by international participants Data sets (accident reports), analysts from industry and government formed and sustained locally IHST assists with process training and standardization, international coordination IHST coordinates performance metrics ongoing data mining efforts seeking regional data sources (flight hours)

8. IHST is following a proven model IHST(CAST) Charters Activity CAST=Commercial Aviation Safety Team JHSAT=Joint Helicopter Safety Analysis TeamJHSIT=Joint Helicopter Safety Implementation Team JHSAT (JSAT)Analyzes DataProposes most effective interventions JHSIT (JSIT)Assesses feasibility of interventions works implementation Continued data analysis,measure interventioneffectiveness

10. This is a worldwide effort All IHST participants using a process adapted from CAST. Key attributes: All recommendations directly rooted in accident data. Regional ownership – - Data is owned and analyzed by those most familiar with it. - Safety recommendations are implemented by teams most familiar with local needs and challenges. JHSAT and JHSIT lead teams responsible for training/coaching regional teams, measuring the results of the safety recommendations and implementation effectiveness.

14. Conclusions: We have a problem – Unanimity in the worldwide helicopter community; long term accident trends are unacceptable. We know how to fix it – Using a data driven, stakeholder consensus process we’ve identified the drivers behind helicopter accidents. Implementation of SMS, training, information and maintenance enhancements are the top priority targets. Demonstrated benefits in OGP, EMS, ALEA and other well funded and managed operations. Effectiveness measures will be used. We can’t do it alone – Any entity with accident data willing to use the IHST analysis and implementation process is a viable candidate to join this worldwide initiative.

15. Request: IHST seeks to engage helicopter industry stakeholders in the GCC Operators Regulators Researchers Next considerations: Identify responsible leaders Identify an accident dataset or use survey results Learn the IHST analysis process Program resources, timing, implementation actions come under local (GCC) ownership, day to day work not managed by IHST However, the basic analysis and implementation process developed by the IHST should be used to develop outputs compatible with the overall IHST effort
