Our experience in AHMSA shows that with an dedicated and committed team, itis possible to do something to improve safety.

Yes, It is possible to have a better safe use of helicopters, but still a long way toimprove, nevertheless, with the support of all the industry, authorities andoperators, we can do it, and the IHST is one good way.

Regarding the HST – MEXICO: As an new organization is in place inside theMexican Aviation Authority, it is planned a meeting at mid March to re-activatethe work groups in charge to boost the initiatives in progress of this team.

Keep boosting Safety Road Shows in the LATAM region, looking for animatelocal authorities to implement their own Helicopter Safety Teams, SMS culture,Statistics culture, Educational principles, IHST promotion, etc.

Some actions can be a big impact promoting safety, just one example: ForLATAM area, develop and translate in Spanish language more information fromthe IHST and EHEST, in order to be more useful on this countries.
