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 IWG’s working SE’s and DIPs- SMS, Training, Mx, S&E, Infrastructure, Info, Regulatory- Plan to deliver SEs and DIPs at IHSS ‘09 in Sept- Looking for avenues to promote outputs

Kickoff

Analyze

Implement

Measure


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 required2 - Some development required, not currently in public use1 - 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 implement2 - Relatively medium cost to implement1 - 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 environment2 - Modest change to operating environment1 - 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 implementation2 - Full implementation in 2-5 years1 - Longer than 5 years to full implementation

Regulatory Feasibility: Should be evaluated against current rules and certificationprocess. Could be a deterrent due to a long approval process.3 - No policy change2 - Guidance change only (orders, handbooks, policy)1 - Rule change

US JHSIT Ranking Criteria


A look at some of the IHST’s work in the US


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


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

The IHST challenge – reaching small and medium sized operators

Identifying the target audience

FSDO

Pathways to Influence Change

ABC Groups

AccreditationProgs

We need to find high leverage means to influence the small ops community


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


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 wouldn’t happen without us.

Good opportunity to promote a positive image for FAA, proactive, data driven, non punitive
