Apparently simulators are the only hope at preventing accidents?
well, its a proven thing in the fixed wing world, the chopper world is woefully behind in that area, but hopefully the advancements in VR tech on a full motion platform will change that. On the most important note, he is absolutely right that the amount of paperwork chasing is destroying any safety advancements they are working for. Its insane the amount of crap we need to deal with in the fixed wing world, yet we have operators just avoiding crashing by 6ft on an approach, departing from wrong intersections, going offroading and back on the runway etc etc.. Basically flying skills are trash these days, but damn everybody is being chased for doing a fuel check 4min late or asked to do additional paperwork instead on focusing on the flight at hand. So Vuichard is completely right in this case.
