Flight Safety Foundation Highlights Helicopter Priorities

The Flight Safety Foundation is highlighting rotorcraft topics at Heli-Expo. “Our mission is to be advocates of the best aviation safety practices in the world,” said president and CEO Kevin Hiatt. “Based on what we’re observing at the foundation, we need to understand more about helicopter operations as a whole and to foster a safety-centric culture.”

Too often, he explained, the safety practices that do exist are tribal in nature, created by operators, pilots, flight department managers and mechanics.
