the launch / abort decision process. Clearly there are no programs worldwide that expects an accident to occur. As an industry, HEMS trains for and implements new tech- nologies to mitigate IIMC, which is the principal initiator of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents. The ability to incorporate realistic training in a fully visual FTD (with the addition of a fully functional infrared EVS) pro- vides an unprecedented capa- bility that the LPR alone enjoys worldwide.


The ability to provide the technology to enhance the safety of an organization such as the LPR and additionally present an insight into its use and integration into their operational culture during an on-site visit was a sincere pleasure. As a pilot and safety


professional, I cannot express how effective this pairing of technologies (appropriate visu- al simulator and EVS) were in presenting a scenario that has cost far too many lives within the rotorcraft (and fixed wing) industry through IIMC and CFIT accidents. In writing this article, I would implore safety and simulator profes- sionals within the industry to take a step back, and look to the East (or West depending on where you might reside) at this extraordinary LPR organiza- tion, and the capability they have innovated within the avia- tion industry. ◆
