4. FOCUS AREAS FROM JHSAT REPORTS
• Autorotation Training
• HF, ADM/CRM/SRM and SMS.
• Advanced maneuver training (dynamic rollover, ground
resonance, emergency handling including loss of control and
recovery, inadvertent IMC, quick stops (including entering from
downwind), confined and unimproved landing areas, pinnacles &
platforms)
• Cues Critical to Flight (critical systems failures, weather).
• Aircraft Performance. (effect of DA, energy management)
• CFI Student Error and Intervention Training .
• Develop internationally recognized simulator credits for all levels of
synthetic devices (based on new ICAO matrix).

5. AUTOROTATION TRAINING
• Developed and drafted Advisory
Circular (AC) to promote the
Progressive Approach to autorotation
training (start at height!)
• Presented at various seminars on
Progressive Approach.
• Published in international magazine
articles to help educate.
• Developing a further AC on Full Touch
Down Autorotation Training.

6. HF, ADM/CRM/SRM
• Submitted amendments to the
Practical Test Standards (PTS) to add
areas of HF, ADM/CRM/SRM .

7. 10 TRAINING FACT SHEETS

• IIMC.
• Visibility.
• Effect of DA.
• Energy Management (Autorotations).
• Staying Current.
• Autorotation Risk Management.
• Maneuver Initiation Envelope.
• Emergency Decision Making (Critical Systems).
