AERONAUTICAL DECISION MAKING(ADM)

• by
• Mike Franz
• FAASTeam Representative

• In 2005
• International Helicopter Safety Team (IHST) set a
  goal to reduce the accident
  rate by 80 in 10 years
• FAA
• NTSB
• HAI
• FAASTeam
• Flight Schools
• Pilots
• Insurance Companies
• To date the accident rate is still very much the
  same!

3

• 80 of all the accidents are caused by Pilot
  Error.
• 20 other

So, it appears if Helicopter pilots could be
trained to make better decisions (ADM), a major
portion of the helicopter accidents could be
eliminated and movement towards the desired goal
could progress!

There is a Better Way to Train Pilots

Maneuvers Based Training (MBT) Vs. Scenario Based
Training (SBT)
12

• Maneuvers Based Training
• MBT
• Pilots can fly a helicopter to meet PTS

13

• SCENARIO BASED TRAINING
• SBT
• Pilots in Training (PT)
• In Command
• SA
• SRM
• ADM
• TAA
• Can safely fly for an employer

14

• My Goals
• Industry wide change
• for Accident Reduction
• FITS/SBT/LCG Facilitators
• Flight School Acceptance
• Employer Recognition
• Insurance Co. Acceptance
• FAA update of PTS

15
SUMMARY I am on a mission to reduce the
helicopter accident rate starting immediately by
helping to train the Industry to change from
legacy MBT to FITS accepted SBT/LCG by training
Facilitators in accepted Curriculums.
