Het EHEST (European Helicopter Safety Team) blijft zeer bedrijvig in het analyseren van gevaarlijke situatie's bij het gebruik van helikopters. Op basis van deze analyse worden dan allerlei procedures, veiligheidsmaatregelen en opleidingen klaargestoomd om de veiligheid met helikopters drastisch te verbeteren en het aantal helikopterongevallen drastisch te verminderen.
Een overzicht van de laatste publicatie's van het EHEST:
- HE9 - Automation and Flight Path Management
- This document identifies current best practice on automation and flight path management. Over the years helicopter manufacturers have used more automation to assist crews and reduce manual flying workload. The rapid advances in technology have given rise to significant capabilities. Automation has contributed substantially to the sustained improvement of flight safety. Automation increases the timeliness and precision of routine procedures reducing the opportunity for errors and the associated risks to the safety of the flight. The helicopter community has however experienced incidents and accidents where automation and complex flight displays have been significant factors. Thisleaflet reviews the basics of automation and provides a list of principles for optimal use of automation and flight path management.

- HE10 - Teaching and Testing in Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTD)
- This leaflet provides guidance to helicopter instructors and examiners on how to conduct aircrew training and testing in FSTDs, and provides basic principles on how to get the best use of this invaluable training asset. The benefits of FSTDs are covered in the previously published leaflet HE6 “Advantages of Simulators (FSTDs) in Helicopter Flight Training”. The leaflet HE10 addresses additional aspects, such as FSTDs and training credits definitions, types of training and testing permitted on FSTDs, teaching, examining and testing techniques and competences, the different types of examiner certificates, basic principles and good practices, and differences between helicopter and FSTD.
