Helicopter Avionics Available to Purchase

AT a recent symposium at the Royal Aeronautical Society, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) made specific references to HARP Report recommendations 1 and 11. These laid emphasis on the CAA initiating a special study into the detail causes of the significant number of helicopter accidents attributable to ‘human error’ to see where technology might contribute to useful improvement, and, that the CAA should set up a working party between experts in the Airworthiness Division of the Ministry of Defence and selected specialists from universities and industry. They would draw up proposals or requirements for parameters to be measured and for new or improved condition monitoring devices or systems, to be widely publicised.
