Actions

• “Safety” is every body’s business.• “Safety” is culture change• “Safety” is changing the system• “Safety” is technology to support the above

• Challenge: safety measures must be retrofitted cost effectively on existing low technology fielded fleet

• All involved in the industry must buy-in and invest in these safety measures– It is wise to invest a few thousand now to save millions in

business and in valuable lives ( 8 per 100K flying hours)

• Get the whole helicopter community on board
