alphonso Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Especially in the west there have been very few accidents (sadly still a few) this year. That is a very good trend that we can all be proud of. It seems to take a while for accidents to show up but from what I know CADORS is an accurate representation of reality. Anyone know any different? http://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/2/cadors-screaq/qr.aspx?lang=eng&cadorsno=®cd=0&occdtefrom=&occdteto=2011-11-07&occtypecd=1&fatop=%3e%3d&fatal=0&aeroidtxt=&aeroidcd=&loc=&provcd=0&accatcd=2&acoptxt=&acopcd=&acmaketxt=&acmakecd=&acmodeltxt=&acmodelcd=&evnts=&evtype=0&narr= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heliian Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 One accident is still too many. Also, the number of unreported incidents is probably in the 100's every year. In my mind, this year was a terrible year not just for rotary but for the fixed wing side of it too. Although inherently dangerous, our jobs **** well should be getting safer every year.

SuddenStop Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 whats the rate per hour flown? thats what clinches it for me on whether it was a safer year or not. accidents are related to the flying season, busy or not. In my little fishbowl, I am down easily 40% on work for a number of factors...one definately being the amount of hours flown in the field. So my jury is out on whether or not the year has been safer or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 whats the rate per hour flown? thats what clinches it for me on whether it was a safer year or not. Maybe a better depiction than the airlines' rate per 100K hours, SS, but a rate per cycle would have much more meaning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
