case studies, this session will educate participants about
standards of conduct for pilots, determination of fault
following an accident or incident, investigation procedures
of the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board,
insurance coverage requirements, legal relationships
between pilots and employers, and other relevant issues.
Bring your questions to ask an aviation lawyer.
This session will review how electronic research and tracking can save time and money, including ways to research
airworthiness directives, type certificate data sheets,
service bulletins, and other regulatory information for all
types of aircraft. Learn how to simplify your maintenance

program credit
Mar. 3, 2015 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Mar. 4, 2015 11:30 am – 12:30 pm
n n Presenter: Stuart “Kipp” Lau, U.S. Helicopter Safety
Team and FDM systems manager, SkyTrac Systems
Safety management systems (SMS) are the most effective
approach to manage risk in modern flight operations.
Both SMS and flight data monitoring/flight operational
quality assurance (FDM/FOQA) programs are gaining
popularity and are being adopted by a growing number
of helicopter operators around the globe. The greatest
challenge is to devise an implementation plan that
effectively integrates the two programs.
Forced Landings

is only one part of conducting a precautionary or full
forced landing procedure. This session will work through
the various scenarios and offer discussion on managing a
forced landing and surviving a crash.

and resignation. We’ll look at not only the rote definitions
but also their practical application and manifestation in
our daily operations. We will evaluate incident reports and
real-life stories to find hazardous attitudes, which will be
dissected to show that hazardous attitudes exist in us all
and are trying hard to get out. The session will wrap up
with a discussion on how to recognize and prevent these
attitudes and the accidents they cause.

Baldwin Aviation, Inc.
To truly create and live a just culture, it’s essential for
leaders to understand when an event is simply human
error, unintentional at-risk behavior, or intentional
reckless behavior. You may find that reckless behavior
is very rarely present. In aviation law enforcement, our
biggest area of concern is at-risk behavior: where the
behavioral choice increases the risk, and where risk is
not recognized or is mistakenly believed to be justified.
The ability to overlook the outcome, no matter how
undesirable, and focus only on the behavior is critical
when applying just culture in the workplace.

The notion of “use it or lose it” is certainly true when it
comes to maintaining instrument proficiency. Because
helicopters are predominately operated under visual
flight rules conditions, and since most helicopters are not
even instrument flight rules–certified, instrument skills
in helicopter pilots tend to be marginal at best. Whether a
particular mission involves training, an actual instrument
cross-country, or a practical test, the pilot’s preparation
is reflected in the overall results. It’s always better to
over-prepare for an instrument flight than to be caught
off-guard and fall behind the aircraft.

Safety improvements in rotorcraft operations are
greatly desired by the FAA; it is expected that flight data
monitoring (FDM) and associated products and services
can contribute significantly, subject to their widespread
adoption and ongoing improvements made possible by
engagement with the rotorcraft safety community and
the availability of FDM data. A centralized database of deidentified rotorcraft FDM data for safety analysis by the

A flight risk-assessment tool (FRAT) is a powerful risk
management instrument that can create positive changes
in safety and operational capability, and it will soon
be required of many operators. Unfortunately, it is a
misunderstood tool, often simply used to check off a box
in a safety management system. Using information from

help operators, from private to large fleets, use a FRAT
to lower risk, increase operational capability, and meet
regulatory requirements.
