Helicopter Safety 1992

These documents are in Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF) and require a copy of Adobe Reader® to view them. If you do not have a copy of Adobe Reader, you can download and install a free copy from Adobe.

November–December 1992

Low Altitude Sight-seeing Flight Ends in Sudden Descent and Death 4 pages. [PDF 31K]

When the low time pilot elected to make a low-altitude turn near a steep glacier face, there was little time or room to maneuver when an emergency situation developed.

September–October 1992

Reports Question Engine Failure Safety Margins at U.S. Heliports 6 pages. [PDF 33K]

A survey of helicopter operational data and interviews with pilots suggest that protected airspace at heliports should be modified to better accommodate multi-engine helicopter performance.

July–August 1992

Strengths and Weaknesses of Professional Helicopter Pilots Observed During Simulator Training 4 pages. [PDF 23K]

Sophisticated simulators offer dynamic environments where even experienced pilots can hone their skills.

May–June 1992

Low Rotor RPM Threatens Safe Helicopter Flight 4 pages. [PDF 98K]

Maintaining proper rotating speed of main rotor blades is a basic flying skill which, if allowed to deteriorate, can affect the safety of flight, especially in light piston-powered helicopters.

March–April 1992

Implications of the Power Curve on Single-engine Flight in a Twin-engine Helicopter 4 pages. [PDF 27K]

Flight with one engine inoperative in most two-engine civil rotorcraft is possible only within a narrow airspeed range. Knowledge of those limits prepare the pilot for an unexpected engine failure.

January–February 1992

Operating Safely at Airports — Pointers for Pilots and Safety Managers 4 pages. [PDF 24K]

Helicopter pilots share a unique responsibility, not only to develop safety awareness, but to educate airport officials and safety managers on helicopter operations, and to actively promote dissemination of safe practices.
