Safety — Three Rules

NEVER sacrifice safety to save time

CHECKLISTS Use established procedures and checklists

COMMON SENSE You may have to deviate from common procedures — if you do, use common sense and prudent judgment (see Rule #1)

The most dangerous part of a mission is driving to and from the airport or mission base!

Survival and Urgent Care

What is your most important survival tool?

Visual 5.11

Your attitude!

Having a positive mental attitude is often the difference between life and death in a survival

situation. Be mentally prepared to survive in the wilderness for the rest of your life, or it might be

the rest of your life!

Visual 5.12

Preparation

Carry a survival kit in the aircraft and be sure all crew members know what is in the kit and how to use it. Inspect contents periodically

Rhoda’s Rule states, “If you cannot walk from the end of the runway to the terminal without getting cold then you are not dressed properly!”

Consider the weather over the worst conditions you are flying over

Carry your cell phone (fully charged)

Visual 5.13

Remember...

A little planning and a few pieces of equipment could be the difference between life and death! Prepare for the area and conditions you will operating in and update your survival kit seasonally. Finally, remember your most important tool is your WILL TO SURVIVE!

1.All NHWG Current Pilots must review the National safety letter the Sentinel monthly if available and an aviation related article of choice. Safety briefs are mandatory for all Current Pilot’s and must be recorded on-line on the NHWG Safety Web Site. Failure to comply will result in a flight release being denied until the Pilot complies.

On-Line Compliance form http://nhwgcap.org/safety/_forms1/use/PilotCompliance2/form1.html

FRO’s upon request for a flight release will determine if the Pilot has complied with the monthly Safety brief requirement by asking if they have in-putted the data for the month. It is the responsibility of each Pilot to comply with this regulation and to enter the data into the on-line system monthly. If at a later time the FRO should determine that there is no entry in the database for the current month the Pilot will be grounded until they comply and a notice will be sent to the Wing Commander.
