Meet the Regulators
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will conduct a meeting at HAI’s Heli-Expo to discuss various FAA rotorcraft safety initiatives and to gather any relevant information that will help reduce general aviation rotorcraft accidents. The event will be on February 26, 10 a.m.-12 noon CST, at the George Brown Convention Center, Room 350 (A, B, D, and E), 1001 Avendia de las Americas, Houston, Texas. The meeting is part of the Rotorcraft Directorate's initiative to reduce the number of fatal accidents in general aviation. Attendees will be briefed on some of the FAA's initiatives intended to reduce rotorcraft accidents, including rotorcraft accident prevention outreach programs and the use of Night Vision Imaging Systems (NVIS). Attendees will have an opportunity to propose safety-enhancing recommendations and to suggest how the FAA should implement strategies that will help reduce rotorcraft accidents. Attendance is open to all interested persons, but will be limited to the space available.
