 HAI ENG Aviation Safety Manual Available Now


 New ENG Aviation Safety Standards

February 21, 2009 (Anaheim, California) - After a year of work by the HAI ENG Committee, the new “Broadcast Aviation Safety Manual” is finished. The new ENG safety guidelines were given final approval by the HAI Board of Directors during the 2009 Heli-Expo.
The new safety guidelines in this manual serve as new industry safety standards for the ENG aviation community. Broadcast stations, their aircraft vendors and aircrews now have new and solid safety guidelines for reference.
The new guidelines also actually precisely track new recommendations by the NTSB, thanks to close consultation between the HAI ENG Committee, the NTSB and FAA over the past year of work.

NEHA ANNUAL MEETING
February 20, 2010
Houston, Texas

   At its annual meeting the National ENG Helicopter Association elected officers and outlined plans for promoting safety goals for the ENG helicopter community.
   NEHA now has a Facebook site to assist in getting safety material distributed and to provide forums for discussion and sharing.
   Board members felt that while the NEHA website does provide important resources and information, the ability of Facebook to distribute timely or critical information quickly to the entire enrolled community, and allow immediate group discussion, is invaluable.
   NEHA is also embarking on a program to produce ‘online’ training videos to promote the HAI’s ENG Safety Guidelines released this past year. The videos will supplement reading of the ENG Safety Guidelines manual and focus on priority areas, conveying information in an easy to understand manner.
   The videos will target not only flight crews of ENG aircraft, including pilots, photographers and reporters, bust also TV station management and people in other parts of the aviation community who want to learn about our safety measures.
   The NEHA board also elected officers.
   The new president is Keith McCutchen, a pilot-reporter at WISH-TV in Indianapolis. Vice-president is John Del Giorno, an airborne reporter for WABC-TV. Committee secretary Bob Martin, a pilot-reporter for KRQE TV in Albuquerque will continue as Secretary. Dan McCarthy, a pilot-reporter for WESH-TV of Orlando, Florida will continue at Treasurer.
