In 2005…

• International Helicopter Safety Team (IHST) set a goalto reduce the accident rate by 80% in 10 years

• FAA• NTSB• HAI• FAASTeam• Flight Schools• Pilots• Insurance Companies

To date the accident rate is still very much the same!

• 80% of all the accidents are caused by Pilot Error.• 20% other

So, it appears if Helicopter pilots could be trained tomake better decisions (ADM), a major portion of thehelicopter accidents could be eliminated andmovement towards the desired goal could progress!

PILOT ERRORS• Physical

• Mental • Decisional

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS • Level 1 Perception • Level 2 Comprehension • Level 3 Projection

Perception = Recognition Comprehension = Understanding

Projection = Anticipation

Good Decisions?Experience + Analysis = Situational Awareness (SA)

SA + Aeronautical Decision Making = Risk Management

“I consider my decision to be the Safest course of action”

GOOD TRAINING60 year old (Legacy) training to PTS

Trained by inexperienced CFIs

ADM training just prior to check ride

There is a Better Way

to Train Pilots

Maneuvers Based Training(MBT)

Vs. Scenario Based Training

(SBT)

Maneuvers Based TrainingMBT

• Pilots can fly a helicopter to meet PTS

SCENARIO BASED TRAININGSBT

• Pilots in Training (PT)• In Command• SA• SRM• ADM• TAA• Can safely fly for an employer

My Goals

Industry wide changefor Accident Reduction

• FITS/SBT/LCG –Facilitators • Flight School Acceptance • Employer Recognition

• Insurance Co. Acceptance • FAA update of PTS

SUMMARYI am on a mission to reduce the

helicopter accident rate startingimmediately by helping to train theIndustry to change from legacy MBT to

FITS accepted SBT/LCG by trainingFacilitators in accepted Curriculums.
