Safety Recommendation
008/10
Issued To
CAA
on 16 Dec 09
The late notification of this incident hampered the Commission?s investigation, because potentially valuable CVR information was not preserved. The Commission has noted recently that other serious incidents have not been notified as soon as practicable to the CAA, and in some cases the delays have affected the Commission?s decision whether to investigate. The Commission and the CAA rely on being immediately notified of serious incidents in order to be able to conduct effective investigations and to learn the lessons to prevent accidents. Late notifications prevent the Commission from meeting its statutory obligations.

Issued To
CAA

Take action to address the safety issues discussed in the recommendations of the specialist independent aeronautical engineer?s review of the STC process, listed below:
The CAA should make the introduction of a redesigned fin for all FU24?s a very high priority.
The Continued Airworthiness programme for the Walter Fletcher should be reviewed including the 150-hr maintenance periodicity to ensure that the lessons of several years of operation have been applied and that potential fatigue effects of operation with higher powered engines are properly accounted for. Any learning applicable to piston-powered aircraft should be disseminated widely.
The Type Certificate holder should be involved where applicable.
The CAA should clarify the divisions of responsibility for Continued Airworthiness of modified FU24 Aircraft between the original equipment manufacturer (PAL), STC holders, and design organizations.
The Agricultural Aircraft Safety Review and the Part 137 Rules rewrite should be completed and acted on as soon as possible.

Issued To
CAA
on 13 Mar 09
The continuing lack of any formalised aeroplane pilot mountain-flying training, which has not equipped pilots with the requisite skills for sound decision-making for flying in mountainous terrain. This lack of training has been implicit in a number of fatal mountain-flying accidents over the past 15 years with at least 29 lives lost.

Issued To
CAA
on 18 Dec 08
The Commission has determined that some helicopter operations are offered in mountainous terrain by pilots who have insufficient knowledge, experience or currency for those operations. Ensuring that their pilots have adequate role training and supervision can be problematic for smaller scale operators. The Commission recommends that the Director of Civil Aviation addresses this safety issue.

Issued To
CAA
on 18 Dec 08
The Commission has determined that there is evidence that the purpose of approved seats and berths and the value of seat belts in helicopters are not understood or are disregarded, and that in some operations there could be a culture of non-compliance with Civil Aviation Rules relating to passenger restraint. The Commission recommends that the Director of Civil Aviation addresses this safety issue.
