This website exists to promote helicopter safety around the world, primarily in the UK.

It contains a comprehensive UK helicopter accident database, and the results of a study carried out in early 2008 to support the figures being discussed at the safety evenings.

The site also contains links to freely available safety material and information on venues and dates of helicopter safety evenings organised by some volunteers around the UK.

We have up to now been promised support from
  • British Helicopter Advisory Board [BHAB]
    The BHAB have been very supportive, they are extremely interested in helicopter safety and in what we are trying to do here. A meeting has taken place with their CEO and he is 100% behind the cause. Gary is joining the Small helicopter working group when it reforms in April.
  • Civil Aviation Authority [CAA]
    The Flight Ops Inspectorate (General Aviation) of the CAA have supplied us with extracts from some of their safety presentations, and have suggested some subjects which may be worth us researching.
  • General Aviation Safety Council [GASCo]
    GASCos CEO has supplied us with his research into small helicopter accidents, and this has formed a basis upon which we have based our 10 years worth of accident data analysis.
  • National Air Traffic Services [NATS]
    NATS have offered to deliver a presentation on the Heli Lanes and airspace infringements and how they are trying to educate pilots in order to reduce the number that occur each year.

We are also talking to two other prominent aviation agencies, and if they agree to work with us details will be posted here shortly.

We are currently working on all kinds of updates to the site, details of which can be found on the future updates page.

Future safety evening dates are being confirmed this week and will be published here shortly.
