S.A.F.E. Structure Designs CEO Johnny Buscema and&nbsp;HAI Training Work Group chair Terry Palmer are presenting a Rotor Safety Challenge session on aircraft maintenance safety on Tuesday at Heli-Expo 2020 from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. (Anaheim Convention Center, Room 207C). The interactive session, "Maintenance Safety-First Solutions that Work," serves as a reminder of basic safety principles and the new challenges in troubleshooting technology. Said Buscema, "We are working with Southern Utah University and industry organizations to identify and develop training that makes maintenance more effective and efficient."

 


Separately, S.A.F.E., along with the Helicopter Safety Alliance (HSA) and Southern Utah University (SUU), are co-hosting their first annual Maintenance Symposium dedicated to safety and training for mechanics on June 10 to 11 in Dallas. The event will provide a series of interactive presentations that bring current information on the new generation of aircraft that requires an understanding of technology beyond normal maintenance skills.

 


While safety events are provided for pilots, "This one is just for mechanics and will help to provide input to the industry on what training resources will be needed to keep up with the new aircraft," said Palmer, who is also the event director. "This symposium is necessary to provide mechanics with resources and techniques to help them get the job done effectively and efficiently. New technology has often been frustrating and time-consuming to maintain when mechanics are faced with challenges they haven't seen before."

 


Information about Maintenance Training Symposium, HSA events, and SUU programs can be found at S.A.F.E. Structure Designs' Heli-Expo booths (4432, 130, and 55).
