Hi,
I am looking for a helo magazine article (someones opinion on the last page). It compared helo to fixedwing ops and had some very good thoughts.
One of them was that airlines make everything adapt to them to increase safety. They operate in a completely standardized environment with most variables known like runway conditions etc. Helicopters only survive in a market niche where all of that is missing (we wish we'd know where we will be landing even after having taken off) and therefore approaches to safety from the airline industry can not be applied 1:1 in the helicopter industry.
I have no idea what magazine it was, maybe American, maybe Canadian.
From 2008 or the end of 2007. I wanted to copy it next time I visited
that base, but somebody had thrown out all the magazines under the table :-(
Somebody actually cleaned up!
