Download or read book Composite Profiles of Helicopter Mishaps at Heliports and Airports written by L. D. Dzamba and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a companion report entitled Analysis of Helicopter Mishaps at Heliports, Airports, and Unimproved Sites, DOT/FAA/RD-90/8, National Transportation Safety Board and U.S. Army mishap reports were reviewed in order to determine the types of mishaps that have occurred at helicopter landing sites. Based upon these mishap records, helicopter composite mishap profiles were developed and are presented here in order to demonstrate the types of mishaps that have occurred at or near heliports and airports. Each composite profile includes a description of the mishap, facility design factors which contributed to the mishap, nondesign-related contributing factors, and operational safety enhancements where appropriate. This document is intended to be a learning and teaching aid. The intended audience includes helicopter landing area designers, managers, and operators, as well as pilots. The goal of the report is to broaden awareness in the helicopter community in order to promote safety. This report is one in a series of three dealing with helicopter mishaps at landing sites. The other reports are: Analysis of Helicopter Mishaps at Heliports, Airports and Unimproved Sites, DOT/FAA/RD-90/8, and Analysis of Helicopter Accident Risk Exposure near Heliports, Airports, and Unimproved Sites, DOT/FAA/RD-90/9. Accident, Heliport, Airport, Mishap, Design issues, Safety, Helicopter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses the development of relevant safety indicators to be used in the assessment of risk exposure due to heliport design and operational standards. Since helicopter accidents have been relatively rare events, historical data at heliports are somewhat limited. Therefore, the approach described herein is to develop the total helicopter risk exposure due to all causes and then estimate what proportion of that risk should be allocated to various circumstances associated with specific heliport design and helicopter operational characteristics. This approach introduces the need for analysis and quantification of risk using a parameter or parameters that both industry and government agree are within a logical framework. Data on the number of helicopter accidents per year, accidents per 100,000 hours of flight time, accidents per 100,000 mission segments, accident rates for selected mission types, occupant risk of serious injury, and neighborhood risk are presented. Finally, civil helicopter accidents are categorized by the facilities near which they occur (heliport, airport, etc.) and by the operating facility design parameters that impact operational risk. This report is one of a series of three dealing with helicopter accidents near heliports, airports, and unimproved landing areas. The other reports are: 'Analysis of Helicopter Mishaps at Heliports, Airports, and Unimproved Sites' DOT/FAA/RD-90/8, 'Composite Profiles of Helicopter Mishaps at Heliports and Airports, ' DOT/FAAIRD-91/1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A task was undertaken to determine possible inadequacies if FAA design standards and guidelines set forth in the Helicopter Design Advisory Circular (AC 150/5390-2). This report is based upon the results of an analysis of helicopter mishaps which occurred within a 1 mile radius of various landing sites, including heliports, airports, and unimproved sites. NTSB and U.S. Army reports describing mishaps that occurred at or near a facility were used. The focus of the analysis was to determine the manner in which facility design may contribute to mishaps. Particular attention was given to issues concerning the size, obstruction clearance, and adequacy of facility protected airspace and operational areas. Mishap type and location, as well as the applicable design issues, were analyzed from the reports and are discussed. This study concludes that overall, the Heliport Design Advisory Circular provides very good guidelines for heliport design and is a valid instrument. Several areas for possible improvement within the document have been identified. Recommendations include areas addressing obstruction marking, facility maintenance, wind indicator location, and guidelines for operations at airports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is twofold. First, the unique characteristics of a wide variety of helicopter operations which ended in a collision with terrain features or man-made obstructions were analyzed. Special emphasis was given to operations during difficult visual conditions. Second, this report provides the reader with systematic insights into the affiliated technical and operational aspects of helicopter flight operations which contributed to this category of accident. The report explores the way helicopters are flown in the low airspace and employs composite accident summaries as points of departure to both illustrate and substantiate the analysis which in turn identifies opportunities for improved flight safety and productivity in the National Airspace System (NAS). The included analysis deals with a series of rotorcraft accidents involving terrain and obstruction strikes. The common characteristics of these accidents support the need for specific changes. Each composite accident is illustrated and treated to an analysis which often allows the reader to focus on one characteristic in isolation. The summaries of these composite accidents and supporting analysis are included in the report to provide a common information base for the FAA analysts and industry engineers to support the need for additional equipment, new procedures, new products, additional training, and regulatory change. This technical report contains pertinent data and testing/guidance material needed to support those elements of the agency charged with performance of regulatory actions and the development of advisory materials and standards.
