HAI Rotor Safety Challenge
Free to All HELI-EXPO Attendees and Exhibitors
At HELI-EXPO 2013, HAI will premiere a new safety education initiative,
the HAI Rotor Safety Challenge. This program, developed in coordination
with the HAI Safety Committee, will include safety events, forums, and
short courses — all free to HELI-EXPO attendees and exhibitors.
In addition to the safety events HAI offers each year at HELI-EXPO,
including the Safety Symposium, Safety Committee Town Hall, Safety
Directors Forum, and International Helicopter Safety Team workshops,
the Rotor Safety Challenge will include more than 30 safety education
sessions, conveniently scheduled on show days, March 5 through 7.
At each Rotor Safety Challenge session, attendees will learn important
safety concepts and skills and discuss safety challenges facing the
international helicopter community. Whether a pilot, maintenance
technician, safety officer, manager, or someone serving a different role in
the helicopter industry, attendees will return to work with safety tools,
techniques, and practical applications specific to their jobs.
HELI-EXPO attendees can choose to attend the HAI Rotor Safety
Challenge sessions a la carte or “take the challenge” and attend at least
six sessions. Those who successfully complete at least six sessions will
receive a certificate of recognition. Attendees who register in advance
can also earn professional development credit for each session toward
the FAA’s Wings or AMT programs. To register, go to faasafety.gov and
search for “HELI‐EXPO 2013” under Seminars.

Flight Operations
Aeronautical Knowledge vs.
What Pilots Should Know
March 6, 2013 || 10:00 am – 11:00 am || Flight Operations
Instructor: Scott Burgess, assistant professor,
Embry‐Riddle Aeronautical University
This presentation is a combination of practical
knowledge beyond the Helicopter Flying Handbook
and the research of the International Helicopter
Safety Team Analysis Team. This in-depth look
at aeronautical knowledge, decision making,
and understanding of limitations is ideal for all
experience levels. This presentation evolved from
extensive research for the industry publication, The
Reality of Aeronautical Knowledge: The Analysis
of Accident Reports Against What Aircrews Are
Supposed to Know, by the session instructor,
Scott Burgess.
CRM for the Single-Pilot Operator
March 5, 2013 || 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm || Flight Operations
Instructor: Chris Fishell, helicopter operations safety
analyst, PRISM Solutions
Crew resource management (CRM) is an
important part of safe aviation operations, but
is often overlooked in the single-pilot helicopter
environment. Far too often, the crew part of CRM
is the focus of most discussions, with not much
thought given to the resource management phase
of CRM. This course will discuss the identification
and utilization of all resources in the single-pilot
helicopter environment, and how the principles of
CRM can be appropriately utilized.
Enhanced Synthetic Vision Systems
March 6, 2013 || 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm || Flight Operations
Instructor: Stan Rose, director of safety,
Helicopter Association International
This presentation will familiarize the audience with
a new safety enhancement that is coming to the
helicopter world and to demonstrate the application
