"Kenny,
After the current discussions in your videos I thought this fell right in. I received this publication today from U.S. Helicopter Safety Team on 7 safety recommendations due to the current helicopter crash stats. You may already have the info, but if not it’s something you can use to backup what you been pushing on risk management, good decision making, knowing your surrounds and checklist.
Have a blessed day,
Travis"
Do you think it won't happen to you?
Think again!
How often do you study to refresh your knowledge?
How much time do you spend on social media clicking like and commenting on content that is just about shiny paint and navigation lights?
Do you really want to be safe? Or do you just make the statement to make those around you feel better about what you do?

I fell in love with aviation just about 3 years ago, after watching Greg Mink (Premier1Driver) fly his Premier 1A out of KBOS. The very next video I watched after that hour long episode was something from the Air Safety Institute - I wanted to know what NOT to do, if ever I was able to get in the air, no matter the form. Then became intrigued with helicopters - that's how I found your channel. Great stuff as always, Kenny - as a former truck driver, this sort of thing needs to be talked about. The more people that can swallow their pride and tell their stories, no matter what the industry, the better. 👍
Thank you Smitty for sharing your thoughts!
I am happy that you are here to talk about subjects like the helicopter fatal accidents for this year. Thanks.
Thank you Gregory!
I totally 100% agree that all pilots, from experienced to trainees, all need to keep up to date on all safety procedures, accident reports, and analysis. If you have an accident or near accident, it needs to be shared and discussed. What we learn may not only save our own lives but the lives of others on the ground and in the aircraft
Thanks for sharing Marty!
Thank You Kenny On This Subject On Fatal Accidents in Helicopters Sir!!!
Your welcome Bennie!
Sad but honest video..... I am in the trucking industry and it is the same as well, we rarely talk collectively about big rig accidents as a group. I may speak with fellow drivers and analyze some accidents and learn from them, however , not so much as a group.... Thanx again
Thanks for commenting James!
fyi-- looks like the link to that accident report in your video description is a location on your local drive and not a URL.
Thanks for this info. I'm doing my PPL training now, and there've been a few fatal accidents in my area in the last year. I've noticed people sometimes seem a little hesitant to talk about them. It's odd.
Thank you I fixed the link!
Good afternoon Kenny
Great topic. Never an easy topic to discuss but a very important one. From my military training regarding safety, to my safety experience in the GA world, it's still an issue.
The current trend of increasing accidents is of great concern of course and what's frustrating is that most of the accidents are pilot error. We do see some occasional mechanical malfunctions but not many. The recent reports you mentioned I've studied and as well, I forward those to all my pilots and ensure they read thru them and then talk about them w/their students as well. its important. There is more to it than just strapping in and taking off. Those bad choices catch up to you, the holes in the Swiss cheese start to line up, next thing you know, I'm getting a call that there has been an accident and my heart just drops to the floor.
It's all up to us to live that safety culture. There are soooo many courses, webinars, seminars within the FAASTeam, HAI's Rotor Challenge etc. I've been flying for 12 years, and I do the rotor challenge every time I go to HAI and learn something new to pass along as well.
Aviation has an element of danger to it, but if we all do our best to watch out for each other, keep up on training, don't let the pressures of the mission or lesson drive your need to go fly. There are ton's of tools out there. Please be safe. Listen to that little voice in the back of your head. I could go on all day. My biggest wish is that I never have to go to another memorial for a pilot. Fly safe out there guys. Only takes a moment to say "maybe we shouldn't fly today" vs "oh crap, we shouldn't have taken off today".

Thank you Ron! It is very frustrating! I can't help but wonder what else we could be doing...
@@HelicopterGround The big thing I always get frustrated is the lack of attention or urgency regarding safety in the civilian GA community. It's such a different mindset in military aviation. its drilled into you because of the business since you're working in dangerous environments all the time. You screw up, you get blown off a ship, nailed by a prop, sucked into a jet intake, along with larger a/c, higher falls, heavier equipment etc.
In the civilian world though, what I notice most is the, "it happens to other people" or "it won't happen to me". Just very lackadaisical where safety is involved. We can have safety stand downs and review, but when I hear veteran pilots make the comments they make which flows down to the newer more influenced pilots, it really annoys me.
It hits home, did especially for me, going to several crash sites, (was on the quick reaction team for accidents) where you see aircraft that have just disintegrated when they crash, and if lost crews are involved, that's a sight you never get out of your mind.
It needs to get better. I'm sad to see the numbers going up. Hopefully some more awareness and better processes bring them down.
Fly safe folks!!
Words to live by brother. Thank you 🤘🏻
Thank you Gator!
Hi Kenny as usual a great video. My father was killed in a plane crash when I was 3 years old because the pilot was doing IFR flying when he wasn’t trained to fly IFR. The end result was they crashed into a mountainside that was in the cloud. I’ve being flying both airplanes and helicopters for 27 years now and I do read the accident reports. I believe that if you have no respect for your own abilities and what you’ve being trained to do as well as disrespecting your aircraft you are going to get hurt. With helicopters you need to keep the emergency procedures training up to speed because you never know when you might need it. Also if you haven’t being trained to fly in bad weather then don’t do it. Pilots who fly within their own limitations and the limitations of the aircrafts have the best chance of a long life as a pilot.
Thank you Ashley I realize this one hits you very close to home! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
Great video Kenny!
Thank you Mad Murdock!
When you say guys need to keep with studying even if they’re 30+ year pilot, are you talking about reading up on new and maybe refreshing their minds on the older FAA Regs. and studying POHs for the aircraft they’re flying and looking over FAR/AIM?
We know the trem, "if you don't use it, you loose it." That includes our knowledge!
I agree with Kenny "if you don't use it, you loose it" plus as you gain more knowledge and experience you'll understand things better (going from Rote knowledge to Correlation). Regulations/POH's/etc. also change so unless you crack open the book occasionally you may be using out of date information as well.
Important topic covered today Kenny and not an easy one either, so thank you for covering it so well. Just read the report there and its statistics are quite sobering. The 7 main focal points listed within that USHST safety news report are a very good indeed and if used, as a check list, should save lives. I think the last 4 points when ignored, are unfortunatley the cause of many a fatal accident throughout the world!
Thank you Stu! I will be covering all 7! Thanks for the feedback!
You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long enough to make them all yourself.
Sam Levenson , Thanks Kenny
Thank you Danny!
As a professional Class A CDL driver, I see many parallels between the two industries revolving around safety and operator shortages.
O would agree Jeremy thanks for commenting! Safety is relative!
Ha,! yeah, I was the oddball at work because I preflighted my truck every day,...sad but true :(
@@lookingforwookiecopilot same here ! I've been ridiculed many times by management.
@@dwightmitchell1464 Did you ever have to go through the Smith Systems Defensive Driving class? I've done it with at least three different employers and bet the first four keys could easily transfer to aviation.
@@lookingforwookiecopilot yes, I feel that the safety training given by most companies is to make them look good in the courtroom...
Great video, thanks!
Thank you for commenting!
Thank you Kenny!
Your welcome and thank you Rodrigo!
Where is the best place to find accident reports
www.faa.gov/data_research/accident_incident/
Absolutely review accident reports. When I saw the video Kenny told about his accident, I immediately started review reports put out by FAASTeam and look at video on TH-cam. Doing analysis of these types reports cause you to think about what you may or may not be doing to stay safe. Right now I’m reviewing accidents involving miscommunication with ATC and Weather.
Thanks for sharing Clarence!
Kenny in 1978 They Had A Bad Helicopter Accident of a (Aerospatiale SA-330 Puma) at Petroleum Helicopter Inc. Where All, But One Person Lived Out Of 19 Aboard the Helicopter! The Puma Helicopter Carried One Load Of Passengers to the Oil Rig and Went For Another Load Of Passengers, But While Gone the Crane Operate Moved the Crane Over the Helipad and the Pilot Did Not Call the Oil Rig to See, if the Crane Was Used Like He Should and the Crane Cable Took the Rotor Head Off the SA-330 Puma Helicopter Kenny! That Case Was Pilot Error the (NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD) Finding Kenny!!!
Thanks for sharing Bennie!
I second the motion to read accident reports often ... I believe ... that they are an UNEQUALED training guide.
Thank you Jack I appreciate that!
same situation in china.we had a lot crash this year.
thanks for your video.
Thank you for sharing!
I retired after a career in anesthesia. I often thought of all the similarities between anesthesia safety and aviation safety. Lifewings.com is the site of a safety expert who began his safety career as an actual Top Gun pilot (who was at Miramar NAS when the movie was shot as an actual F14 pilot). His work is right on the money. It's uncanny how much overlap there is between aviation safety and safety best practices in general.
I agree 100% James it's all relative!
NEVER stop learning ! If you think that you know everything ~ YOU DON'T ! Stay safe and smart...Amen
Thanks for the feedback!
