So, what could the Helicopter Industry do to drive the safety performance to equality for day and night?
The fixed wing people have used:
Technology
Crew Training/Certification
to great success.
Totally agree. Not flying at night is a non-starter IMO. We would be hugely limiting ourselves, and our usefulness to the customer. It can and is being done safely in some ops. As stated in a previous post - technology, training, CRM are probably the way ahead. Now lets just smash the piggy banks and find some cash!
