ONE QUESTION FOUR ANSWERS
Within the helicopter industry, whom do you admire and why?
Capt. Rick Newson, head of Flight Ops Rotary at the UK Civil Aviation Authority, works with industry and supports big and small commercial operators and private helicopter pilots equally. He always listens to a well- thought-out argument supported by safety risk analysis, providing advice where necessary to make the case stronger and therefore more acceptable to the authorities. Without his positive and enthusiastic support, the UK helicopter sector would not be as well positioned to meet the current challenging market conditions.
Tim Fauchon
Chief Executive British Helicopter Association
The people who take responsibility to train the future of the helicopter industry. In addition to professional trainers and flight instructors, these include career-path mentors, maintenance shops that hire interns, and companies that hire prior military or low-time pilots and then train to proficiency, despite the money required to train. With dedicated trainers, the helicopter industry will be able to meet the challenges of an evolving economy while keeping safe, happy, and loyal employees.
Evie Lynn
Commercial Pilot Director of Safety Aspen Helicopters
The helicopter industry is dynamic, and I have to declare my admiration for all the professionals involved in its wonderful, constant evolution. Pilots and mechanics contribute in a fundamental way, working each day to keep our machines flying and transporting safely. Their daily efforts contribute to job creation and the strengthening of the global helicopter industry.
Thales A.D. Pereira
President Brazilian Helicopter Association
I admire each and every women pilot and mechanic in the helicopter industry because they have made their way in an industry that, at least in Latin America, did not have them in mind. I believe that women contribute not only through their rigorous, detailed work in their day-to-day jobs, but also through their innate sense of collective well-being, which can be a great support for safety.
