Scorecard US Fleet 14,269 helicopters JHSAT
- 371 accidents analyzed - year 2000, report
complete - year 2001, delivery at IHSS09 in
Sept - plan to analyze 2006 accidents for
validation JHSIT - seven IWGs working SEs and
DIPs - SMS, Training, Mx, SE, Infrastructure,
Info, Regulatory - Plan to deliver SEs
and DIPs at IHSS 09 in Sept - Looking for

Technical Feasibility The ability of the
project to take advantage of the current state of
technology in pursuing further development. 3 -
Off-the-shelf technology, no development
required 2 - Some development required, not
currently in public use 1 - Major technology
development effort required Financial
Feasibility Should consider the total cost of
the implementation, including the planning
process. Financial feasibility also involves the
capability of the participating organizations
(FAA, Manufacturers, and Airlines and Operators)
to provide the appropriate funding needed to
implement the project. 3 - Relatively low cost to
implement 2 - Relatively medium cost to
implement 1 - Relatively high cost to
implement Operational Feasibility Involves the
practicality of the project within the context
of the operating environment, including NAS,
ground operations, maintenance, inspection, etc.
Considers which organizations within the aviation
system are impacted. 3 - Minimal change to
entities within the operating environment 2 -
Modest change to operating environment 1 - Major
change to operating environment Schedule
Feasibility Can the project to contribute to
achieving the goal in a selected timeframe? Must
consider implementation schedule by project. 3 -
Less than 2 years to full implementation 2 - Full
implementation in 2-5 years 1 - Longer than 5
years to full implementation Regulatory
Feasibility Should be evaluated against current
rules and certification process. Could be a
deterrent due to a long approval process. 3 - No
policy change 2 - Guidance change only (orders,
handbooks, policy) 1 - Rule change
US JHSIT Ranking Criteria

US Accident Analysis Overview 197 accidents
analyzed covered a wide spectrum of helicopter
operations 15 basic mission types identified.
1200 scored problem statements/intervention
findings developed US JHSAT refined the problem
statement/intervention findings into 7
foundational recommendation areas for the US
fleet 125 specific recommendations for 15
mission types
2001 analysis almost complete, 174 additional
accidents
17
Ranked US Fleet-wide Recommendations 1. Safety
Management 2. Training 3. Systems and
Equipment 4. Information 5. Maintenance 6.
Regulatory Recommendations 7. Infrastructure
Detailed problem/solution info for 15 missions
also developed

Pathways to Influence Change
Trainers
ABC Groups
Industry Pubs
Maintainers
AccreditationProgs
Insurance
FSDO
1 to 5 ship operators
We need to find high leverage means to influence
the small ops community
25
Developing an IHST - FAAST relationship to
improve helicopter safety IHST and FAAST have
mutual interests in improving helicopter
safety FAAST has the one-on-one connections
with operators FAAST has SPANS db....useful to
target our actions IHST has accident data
analyses and high payoff safety
recommendations We need to integrate these
resources to develop high payoff safety
deliverables tailored to targeted audiences
26
Conclusions IHST has the attention of
influential pockets of the worldwide helicopter
industry, need to further ramp up awareness and
promotion Significant progress made in analysis
of worldwide data, some hurdles to cross to get
additional participation IHST and the industry
very appreciative of FAA resources, it wouldnt
happen without us. Good opportunity to promote a
positive image for FAA, proactive, data driven,
non punitive
