Call For Papers For First International Helicopter Safety
Symposium
"Safety comes from the knowledge of
our craft," say the organizers of the International Helicopter
Safety Symposium 2005 (IHSS),which will take place September 26-29
at the Omni Mont-Royal Hotel in Montreal, Quebec. The symposium
will be presented by the American Helicopter Society International
and the AHS's Montreal/Ottawa chapter, and it promises to be highly
educational for helicopter professionals from all sides of the
industry -- from conceptual designers and manufacturing engineers,
to operators, managers, pilots and mechanics, all the way to
accident investigators.
The symposium will look at all aspects of safety in what it
calls "the global vertical flight industry," military and civilian
alike. If you have expertise in this field, this is your chance to
share it. The organizers are looking for twenty minute
presentations with a 10 minute Q&A session, and they can be
bare presentations, or presentations accompanied by a formal paper.
Details on form and format, and submission procedures, can be found
at the FMI link. But act quickly, because the deadline for
submission of the presentation abstract is February 18, 2005.
An amazing variety of people are involved in the development of
what promises to be a very significant safety summit. For example,
we learned of the Symposium from a Transport Canada official who is
involved in the preparations. Others who plan to attend or make
presentations come from across the spectrum of helicopter
operations.
The organizers hope to have a wide range of presentations,
covering these areas:
- Helicopter Design and Maintenance Issues
- Training for Safety
- Pilot/Crew Safety Issues
- Management and the Economics of Safety
- Safety Regulations & Infrastructure
- Mission Impact on Safety
The IHSS website (linked below) contains examples of the sorts
of subjects that might be encompassed in each these areas, although
the list is suggestive, not inclusive. The website also allows
those interested in attending to register, whether they intend to
make a presentation or learn from those of other professionals.
