Operational Effectiveness Workstream
The HeliOffshore Safety Intelligence Programme (HSIP) reveals 51% of fatal accidents are due to controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) and loss of control in-flight (LOC-I).
The Operational Effectiveness Workstream focuses on the frontline tools, techniques and training required to improve current safety performance. Activity includes supporting developments to enhance take-off and landing safety performance.
Workstream Leads: J. J. Gerber, Operations Service Manager, Cougar Helicopters and Pat Attaway, Director of Operations, PHI Inc.
The Operational Effectiveness Workstream focuses on three areas of the HeliOffshore Safety Performance Model:
Flightpath Management and early identification of deviation
Effective Use of Automation including Design and Documentation
Detect/Avoid Obstacles to create space to manoeuvre and enhanced ability to detect and avoid obstacles
