| Interest In Helicopter HUMS May Be Humming | Wednesday, February 11, 2009 (2111 reads) Helicopter maintenance and safety could be significantly enhanced through greater use of health and usage monitoring systems (HUMS), experts say.
"Stepped up use of HUMS could reduce accidents," said Mark Liptak, an aviation safety engineer with the FAA's Safety Data and Analysis Services, as well as program director for the International Helicopter Safety Team (IHST)--an international body that wants to cut worldwide helicopter accidents by as much as 80% by 2016.

| DoD Releases Helicopter Accident Data | | Monday, May 12, 2008 (2192 reads) Non-Combat Military Helicopter Accidents 1985-2005: Causation and Mitigation Recommendations
Follow this link to view four presentations addressing non-combat military helicopter mishaps during the period 1985-2005. This is believed to be the first time this information has been released by the Department of Defense and the applicable service branch safety centers for public use. The presentations cover class A, B and C helicopter mishaps within the US Air Force, the US Army (one presentation covers mishaps in which human factors played a leading role; the other describes non-human factor mishaps); and the US Navy/US Marine Corps. The presentations are the work product of Colonel Peter Mapes, USAF, and the respective authors, and do not necessarily represent the views of the DoD, the safety centers or the four service branches. The presentations will be reviewed and validated, to the extent possible, by the International Helicopter Safety Team, whose charter is to reduce the world accident rate, both civil accidents and non-combat military mishaps, by 80 percent by 2016.
