Safety

On average every 3 weeks there is a helicopter accident.

(Spoiler alert, we all die at some point.)

Let's not make it because of an accident.

Here are some helpful ideas to discuss.

• Complete a flight risk assessment (FRAT)

• Review the aviation hazardous attitudes 

• Ask a Flight Instructor or Designated Pilot Examiner

• Pause, stand still physically and reflect

• Review the flight again

• I.M.S.A.F.E. aviation checklist 

• Review the regulations on the APP for your phone

• Say NO to pressure, recognise when it occurs

• Set personal weather minimums

• Review your previous flights for abnormalities

• Create good and productive habits 

• Review NTSB aviation reports

• Keep photos of loved ones on you and look at them

• Review consequences of actions and read aviation obituaries

• Just because you can doesn't mean you should

• Minimize distractions
