Helicopter Safety Recommendation Summary for Small Operators
Source: verticalmag.com
 Click here to download the IHST Helicopter Safety Recommendation Summary for Small Operators. The intent is to provide a summary of the initial findings and recommendations developed from detailed helicopter accident analysis done by the International Helicopter Safety Team (IHST). Included in this document are brief descriptions of the key helicopter safety enhancements relative to five basic safety themes identified by the IHST's Joint Helicopter Safety Analysis Team (JHSAT) and validated by the IHST's Joint Helicopter Safety Implementation Team (JHSIT).
The IHST, formed in early 2006, is an all-volunteer team of helicopter community stakeholders dedicated to reducing worldwide helicopter accidents by 80 percent in ten years. Over 300 volunteers work on various regional IHST teams around the world to achieve this goal. The core processes used by these teams have been adapted from the proven analytical methods developed by the Commercial Aviation Safety Team in its highly successful work to improve commercial fixed wing aviation safety.
The foundation of these safety recommendations is the IHST/JHSAT report which was developed by a team of analysts from the helicopter operating, manufacturing, and regulatory communities using US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reports to carefully document hundreds of helicopter accidents. Details of the analytical process used can be found at http://www.ihst.org/.
