Use of training devices (e.g., decision making) Training area selection Improve auto-rotational proficiency for trainers. Formal training for qualification of company training pilots. Pilot recognition of critical cues and recovery (LTE, Inadvertent IMC, dynamic rollover, VRS) Increase pilot aircraft type specific knowledge Pilot Decision Making and Crew Resource Management Task priority management (i.e., when multi-tasking) Threat and error management Plan and monitor aircraft performance to minimize risk exposure (e.g., HOGE, H-V, and WAT charts) Competency based training program for specific operations Obstacle proximity awareness Customer training on operational limitations. Safety Management program training 15 JHSIT(C) Ft Worth 2011 Top 5 Intervention Categories 2) Safety Management Industry Association to develop best practices specific to operational activities. (Heli-logging, EMS, Oil & Gas, Fire Fighting, etc.) Ensure a company safety management system that will Establish a company risk management process. Involve clients in risk management process Establish duty day limitations based on operational intensity for Aircrew, Aircraft Maintenance Engineers and Ground Crew. Establish operational oversight protocols for remote operations Establish company SOPs based on industry best practices, for all areas of operational activities to encompass: Specific limitations (e.g., Weather, duty, obstacle clearance) Unprepared landing zone standards. Identifying the role of management, flight, ground crews, and clients Provide pilots with tools to assess and predict aircraft performance. Provide pilots with tools to assess specific operational risk. Required safety equipment and clothing to be worn for flight conditions (e.g., helmets, safety glasses, boots, fire retardant flight suits. 16 JHSIT(C) Ft Worth 2011 Top 5 Intervention Categories 3) Aircraft Design & Manufacture Effective design performance monitoring to identify in-service difficulties with trend monitoring through the use of Service Difficulty Reporting system. Operators and industry associations to promote development and installation of systems for all helicopters to warn of impending failures. (e.g., HUMS, simpler vibration monitoring for airframe dynamic and engine components. Industry committee to be established to address a strategy to require new derivative designs and legacy production aircraft to incorporate safety enhancements specified in later design standards. Industry associations to encourage design and installation of equipment to improve pilot situational awareness Devices to indicate to pilot that control limitations are being approached, either through aural or visual cues Tail rotor guard or proximity detection warning device Introduce automatic recording means to record operating usage data to be used to determine the life of components and associated maintenance.. 17 JHSIT(C) Ft Worth 2011 Top 5 Intervention Categories 4) Information Industry and operators promote the use of: Flight recording devices appropriate to the design and operation of the aircraft. In-flight monitoring systems. Transportation Safety Board should: Develop procedures, policies and tools to enable the timely collection and recording of all available relevant data for all Canadian accidents. (i.e., similar to Transport Canadas web-based reporting of Service Difficulty Reports) Make accident data readily accessible and searchable to all operators in support of their safety management risk assessment process. Promote the development of an international database to share accident information. 18 JHSIT(C) Ft Worth 2011 Top 5 Intervention Categories 5) Maintenance Develop Industry Best Practice for maintenance on the following topics: Oversight of maintenance At remote locations Fatigue management plan for personnel Introduction of annual compliance monitoring and recurrent training Establish industry best practices. Oversight of mechanics in training (apprentice) The conduct of maintenance Develop and introduce use of Stage/Task Cards Release of aircraft for flight after maintenance. Briefing of Pilots after maintenance has occurred. Completion of paperwork. Care and use of equipment particularly from third parties. Refueling equipment Maintenance tools To ensure proper quality of fuel at all sources. 19 JHSIT(C) Ft Worth 2011 JHSAT Conclusion CDN data analyzed for the years 2000 and 2006 have identified the same Top 5 interventions Categories with similar specific interventions. The above interventions are similar to those identified by other participating Regions. Canadian Challenge will continue to be our remoteness and diversity of operations as provided by medium and small companies. 20 JHSIT(C) Ft Worth 2011 Alex Holliday Ft.
