Pre-show Guide for HELI-EXPO 2016
This session will explore the opportunities and challenges associated with expanding ASIAS to the helicopter community. Attendees will receive information on the latest safety analysis and helicopter flight-data monitoring (HFDM) tools, techniques, and capabilities that are being examined as part of the research effort, as well as how these initiatives can benefit both the helicopter community at large and individual operators.
DID YOU SEE THAT? JUDGING CULTURE Mar. 2, 2016 | 10:30 am – 11:30 am | C201 Presenter: Daniel A. Doepker, chief helicopter instructor, Hillsboro Aero Academy, and member, U.S. Helicopter Safety Team Professional Development Credit: FAA WINGS program credit Attendees will take an in-depth look at the safety culture in our industry through examples and case studies. We will review real-world examples of decisions made daily by pilots, as well as the reactions of the media, management, and industry. We will wrap up the session with a discussion about how we can further improve our culture and support better attitudes toward safety.
HAA FLIGHT RISK ANALYSIS/OCC CHALLENGES AND BEST PRACTICES Mar. 2, 2016 | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm | C205 Presenter: Sunshine McCarthy, vice president, business development and education, Baldwin Safety and Compliance Professional Development Credit: FAA WINGS program credit Getting to patients in a timely manner can be critical to their survival, but getting there safely can have its challenges. To make that job safer for both the patient and crew, the FAA requires all helicopter air ambulance (HAA) pilots complete a flight risk analysis prior to takeoff. In April 2016, that requirement will expand to include a second set of eyes reviewing and acknowledging the flight risk analysis prior to takeoff. How to get this accomplished and still get to that patient is a concern for operators. Join us to learn what some operational control centers (OCCs) are doing to ensure both the patient and crew arrive safely.
HAI SAFETY SYMPOSIUM: SAFETY AND THE BOTTOM LINE Feb. 29, 2016 | 8:00 am – 10:00 am | C203
Presenters: Members, U.S. Helicopter Safety Team (USHST) This session will include presentations and case studies demonstrating how safety initiatives and the fostering of a safety culture results in a more profitable helicopter operation. Industry professionals will then participate in a panel discussion on cost-effective safety initiatives and behaviors, along with a deeper look at the latest safety and accident data from the U.S. Helicopter Safety Team.
HELICOPTER DITCHING AND EGRESS: EVALUATE, PREPARE, PERFORM
Mar. 1, 2016 | 8:30 am – 9:30 am | C104 Mar. 2, 2016 | 10:30 am – 11:30 am | C108 Presenter: Jon P Ehm, training coordinator, Survival Systems USA Inc. Professional Development Credit: FAA WINGS programs credit This one-hour session will introduce essential questions to ask and answer when evaluating overwater risk. We will discuss what passengers and crew can do to help ensure the best possible outcome prior to ditching, including the critical steps needed for a successful egress, the most common barriers to success, and how to overcome problems. The session will conclude with a review of important water survival skills and hypothermia mitigation.
HELICOPTER HUMS CASE STUDIES Mar. 1, 2016 | 8:30 am – 9:30 am | C108 Presenters: Charles DiSiano, product line leader, Murdock Welborn, technical service manager, and Rob Richardson, customer business manager, of Honeywell Aerospace Professional Development Credit: FAA AMT program credit This session will present information on the history, implementation, and value of health and usage monitoring systems (HUMS), including analysis and findings of real case studies, the benefits of flight data monitoring on decision making, the impact of human factors, and the business case for improved maintenance and safety.
HELP! I’M THE NEW SAFETY OFFICER Mar. 2, 2016 | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm | C101 Presenter: Lance Hofmann, director of environmental health and safety, EagleMed, LLC Professional Development Credit: FAA AMT and WINGS programs credit New safety officers are responsible for all risk management, safety management, and quality management programs throughout their company. But often, these individuals receive few tools to set up themselves — and the organization — for success. This session will help to place items and education in the hands of new and upcoming safety personnel.
HFDM 101: HELICOPTER FLIGHT-DATA MONITORING “UNPLUGGED” Mar. 2, 2016 | 8:00 am – 9:00 am | C104 Presenters: Stuart Lau, FDM systems manager, SkyTrac Systems, and member, U.S. Helicopter Safety Team; members, Global HFDM Steering Group Professional Development Credit: FAA AMT and WINGS programs credit Flight data monitoring (FDM) is the systematic, proactive use of digital flight data from routine operations to improve safety within an intrinsically nonpunitive and just safety culture. Industry HFDM experts from the U.S. Helicopter Safety Team (USHST) and the Global HFDM Steering Group describe FDM systems, explain how FDM is employed in a safety management system, examine how to plan for and introduce FDM programs within an organization, and discuss the many benefits of employing FDM programs.
HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY Mar. 1, 2016 | 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm | C105
Mar. 2, 2016 | 9:15 am – 10:15 am | C105 Presenter: Bruce Webb, chief pilot, Airbus Helicopters, Inc. Professional Development Credit: FAA WINGS program credit In this session, we will examine how humans (pilots) make decisions and the process by which we evaluate our decisions to determine the “goodness” of the decision. We will discuss: brain function and cognition; how the “frame” in which we receive information impacts our use of the information; rational versus irrational decision-making processes (emotional brain versus rational brain); and problem analysis versus decision making.
THE HUMAN PUZZLE Mar. 2, 2016 | 11:45 am – 12:45 pm | C104 Presenter: Fred P. Harms, FAA principal operations inspector and FAASTeam program manager, St. Louis Flight Standards District Office Professional Development Credit: FAA WINGS program credit Nine factors — attitude, planning, weather, preflight, aircraft, takeoff, enroute, stress, and landing — are present on every flight. We will look at these nine pieces of a puzzle that must be successfully put together to ensure a safe flight.
THE IIMC THREAT: AVOIDANCE AND SURVIVAL Mar. 1, 2016 | 8:30 am – 9:30 am | C101
Mar. 2, 2016 | 2:15 pm – 3:15 pm | C101 Presenters: Bryan Smith, Airborne Law Enforcement Association and member, U.S. Helicopter Safety Team; Rich Weber, chief pilot, Jacksonville (Fla.) Sheriff’s Office Professional Development Credit: FAA WINGS program credit Inadvertent flight into instrument meteorological conditions (IIMC) continues to be one of the leading lethal threats to helicopter pilots and their crew and passengers. Despite advances in aircraft and avionics, we continue to suffer IIMC-related fatalities year after year. This session will look at the unique aspects of IIMC and why it continues to claim so many lives. IIMC survival methods based on a safety management system approach, including training, crew resource management, policy suggestions, and survival techniques, will be discussed.
INTRODUCTION TO JUST CULTURE Mar. 1, 2016 | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm | C201

The session will also look at the duties we owe to each other and those owed to us as employees.
JUST CULTURE AND THE ACCOUNTABLE EXECUTIVE: WHY SHOULD THEY CARE? Mar. 2, 2016 | 11:45 am – 12:45 pm | C201 Presenter: Christopher Young, vice president, Helicopter Aviation Services, PRISM, and chair, SMS Working Group, U.S. Helicopter Safety Team Professional Development Credit: FAA AMT and WINGS programs credit The success of an organization’s safety management system (SMS) is contingent on the accountable executive setting the right tone and creating a positive safety culture with employees. Without proactive leadership and the willingness of senior managers to embrace a fair and learning culture, an organization’s SMS is destined to fail.
