Safety

The BHA is proud to support the work of Helicopter Safety.org. This private initiative that was developed in 2008 following a number of high profile accidents brings a focus on safety to individual pilots and private owners through presentations given at regional meetings. The forum is unique in that it brings together those that lack the benefit of shared experience that is so vital to the continuous safety improvement process. Attendance is free and open to any in the aviation community. The website contains a mass of carefully researched and tabulated accident data and information on forthcoming safety evenings. www.helicoptersafety.org
