| Abstract | NASA formed the Aviation Safety Program in mid-1 997 to respond to the ambitious safety challenge posed by President Clinton. To guide the development of a safety investment strategy for the helicopter element of this program, a team of experts, drawn from helicopter manufacturers, operators, and governmental agencies, was formed and tasked with analyzing representative fatal helicopter accidents to identify prevention opportunities. The 34 accidents analyzed included a range of vehicle makes and models, missions, flight phases, types of operation, and accident characteristics. Using information contained in the official National Transportation Safety Board accident dockets, the team developed a sense of what happened (the chain of Events), identified issues or problems that might have existed with the aircraft, maintainers, environment, pilot actions, and air traffic control, and the quality of the information in the report itself (the Problems), and hypothesized what might have prevented an accident entirely or at least mitigated its severity (Solutions). |
