HAI announced Friday that Stan Rose (pictured) has been
tapped as the organization's Director of Safety. Having been
involved in the helicopter industry for more than 40 years, Rose
brings a wealth of experience to the role.
Rose began his career as a U.S. Army pilot in Vietnam, and later
attended the Maintenance Officer/Test Pilot Course with the U.S.
Army Reserves. Since that time he has served in numerous and varied
positions including as line pilot in the Gulf of Mexico, lead pilot
and program director for air medical operations, Chief Pilot of a
law enforcement helicopter support unit, and as a business planning
and acquisitions consultant.
Most recently he served as Senior Director of Business
Development for CJ Systems Aviation Group, now Air Methods; and
just prior to joining HAI he was the C.O.O. and V. P. of Business

Bangkok.
Rose has been active in diverse industry activities including
positions as Chairman of the Bradford Susquehanna Regional EMS
Council, the Association of Air Medical Services (AAMS) Board of
Directors, Idaho State Bioterrorism Preparedness Committee, and the
FAA Part 135 Rule Making Committee.
Rose replaces former HAI Director of Safety, Jay Heffernan, who
has assumed new duties and responsibilities as V.P. of Safety for
Sikorsky Helicopter in Stratford, Connecticut.
HAI President Matt Zuccaro noted, “The experience that
Rose has accumulated in safety, maintenance, operations,
management, and business development will be put to good use in his
new role as the Director of Safety for HAI. We welcome Stan to the
HAI team.”
