If there is a symbol of success, Matt Jennings’ smile was it yesterday as he presented a briefing at Heli-Expo 2011on the Royal Aeronautical Society’s successful development of new criteria for the classification of civil helicopter flight simulation training devices (FSTDs) and announced that it is now in the hands of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Jennings is co-chairman of the Society’s Helicopter-International Working Group (H-IWG), which has been working on the project since 2005, motivated by a number of factors, not the least of which is safety. He noted the steady increase in helicopter accident rates since 2000.
