Survey for helicopter safety - PPRuNe Approved
Aeroporos an ex military helicopter pilot and active Air Safety Investigator, for the partial fulfillment for an MBA conducts a survey to identify the role of ''organizational culture'' as facilitator or disturbing factor or even change driver that will enhance the implementation of Safety Management Systems in entities operating helicopters.
The fact that the accident rate of helicopters is disproportional to the same in fix wings must be changed.Please spend 20 minutes to answer this questionnaire. Sorry for the inconvenience to be dealt with 66 questions but this is the only way to describe and analyze the culture level in accepted academic manner .For further questions and to finally get a feedback with the results of this survey contact the author at:[email protected].

Hi Aeroporos
I have tried and wanted to help with your survey. However, in many questions, there are no answers which fit my company's approach to safety. Many of the options appear very negative to slightly less negative and to answer to them honestly is not possible.
You should provide some more scaled options from positive to negative.

Having been involved in surveys for a while I have to say that the questions in this seem to be extremely loaded. This may be to do with language issues but I also find it strange that if it was PPruNe approved that it wasn't a sticky.
For the record, I'm not a Professional Pilot.

Thanks for the suggestion: it's now a sticky for a few days
The "PPRuNe Approved" tag is because surveys are normally not allowed here, but headshed have given the go-ahead for this as a one off.

You'd never guess aeroporos was doing an MBA would you? It's all Greek to me.

I started answering this but wasn't prepared to continue, because the questionaire was too biased and badly designed. As someone who used to work in the market research industry, I don't think that's excusable for a topic as important as this.

Having begun the questionaire in good faith, I have to agree that too many of the questions are loaded. Also, as a single aircraft operator, the answer to many of the questions would be "me". There is no recognition of this possibility.
Sorry, I gave up.

Not to offend
This is not meant to offend, but to assist in the ultimate goal of having quality statistics derived from a quality survey. There needs to be a preliminary survey, or sample survey, to determine which questions are naturally leading and to work through the language issues.
Perhaps someone could clean this up for the masters candidate?

Started the survey with all good intentions to try and be helpful. Stopped after I got too many questions that included significant bias.
Whatever the survey is meant to measure, it isn't doing so. If this is for an MBA then your supervisor should have raised serious questions about the methodology.

Apart from not being able to say we operated just the one helicopter, I reached these questions;
and thought...Approved by PPRUNE?
So I gave it a miss.
As dealing with an aircraft that is not as aerodynamic shape as airplanes I have accepted that accidents unavoidably will occur more often.

What is your attitude if you knew that people working as flight personnel, mostly pilots in helicopters are being characterized by public opinion as impulsive,careless and immature?

Survey
Ditto many other pruners. Poorly constructed question list. Oh ... and my records show that in a couple of years, the rotary accident rate actually fell below fixed wing for the same weight.
Read the pprune notes and have another go.
Best wishes,
