IHST (International Helicopter Safety Team) Safety Survey
The IHST’s regional teams have analyzed over 1,000 helicopter accidents and determined that the following four areas offer the best opportunities to prevent helicopter accidents:
1. Safety Management Systems (SMS)
2. Structured programs for initial and recurrent training
3. Mission-specific systems and equipment, including:
- Health & usage monitoring systems (HUMS)
- Flight data monitoring (FDM) programs
- Night vision goggles
- Wire strike protection
4.Structured programs to fully comply with manufacturers’ recommended maintenance practices
This IHST global safety survey is intended to assess the progress toward full implementation of these practices within each industry sector in every region. While some of the recommended systems and equipment have mission specific application, the other recommendations for SMS, training and maintenance practices are universally applicable.
