International Helicopter Safety Team Overview Briefing

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

2. Today’s Objectives • Show the case for change in helicopter safety • IHST program status - US and worldwide efforts • Basics of analysis and implementation processes • Top level analysis findings - US fleet accident data set • Invite stakeholders in Russia to consider working with us

3. We have a worldwide problem!

4. 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

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. updated May ‘09 Worldwide participation is key to success

9. 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

11. 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.

19. US Implementation Challenges Target audience is the 1 to 5 ship operators IHST/JHSIT not staffed to interact with 1000+ operators Need to leverage system and infrastructure channels to influence change

20. HAI Survey Data Identifying the US target audience The challenge in the US – reaching small and medium sized operators

21. Pathways to Influence Change in the US Trainers ABC Groups Maintainers Industry Pubs Insurance FSDO OEMs AccreditationProgs 1 to 5 ship operators We need to find high leverage means to influence the small ops community

22. 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.

23. Request: IHST seeks to engage helicopter industry stakeholders in Russia Manufacturers Operators Regulators Researchers Next considerations: Identify responsible leaders Identify an accident dataset Learn the IHST analysis process Program resources, timing, implementation actions come under local (Russian) 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
