NTSB Chairmn Hersman Emphasizes Collaboration with Rotorcraft Community to Reduce Accidents

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is engaging with the rotorcraft community to reduce accidents involving helicopters, NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman told attendees at the second-day general session here at Heli-Expo.

One of the NTSB’s “10 Most Wanted” safety recommendations for 2014 is to address the unique factors of helicopter operations, to promote industry safety. Hersman thanked HAI for the association’s willingness to engage with the Board on finding common ground and work toward solutions.
