Heli-Expo 2017: Improving Safety, Navigation, and New Data Streams

摘要

In 2017, most operational segments of the helicopter industry are focused on several initiatives, including improving safety, meeting existing or upcoming airspace equipage requirements, and introducing new technologies that can lower operational costs. As has often been the case in drives for greater safety and operational efficiency, much of the current work has gained impetus from events in the North Sea. The April 29, 2016 crash near Bergen, Norway of an Airbus Helicopters EC225LP is still fresh in the memory of the industry, and has prompted that OEM to take a closer look at how rotorcraft operators can use flight operations and systems data to improve safety.
