In the helicopter industry, the number of human factors accidents is steadily increasing and has already exceeded 80%.

As this negative trend must be broken, new training concepts are urgently needed.

To achieve this goal, Mr. Vuichard, President of the Vuichard Recovery Aviation Saftey Foundation, has launched a first series of advanced helicopter safety training courses on simulators, with the aim of reducing human factors accidents by half.

In these safety trainings, classic accidents unsuccessful autorotations, dynamic rollover, vortex ring state avoidance and recovery, unanticipated yaw avoidance and recovery, UIMC avoidance and recovery, and wire strike avoidance are practiced with specialized Vuichard techniques until muscle memory and mastery decision making are trained.

For example, the Loft Dynamic Simulators are specifically designed for practicing uphill autorotations.

This requires a special Vuichard technique that every pilot flying outside of flat areas should definitely master, because you never know when your engine is going to fail!

This year this training will be offered exclusively in Bern at Mountainflyers Switzerland. It is planned that this training will be available on all Loft Dynamics simulators after this on-site seminar.

Mr. Vuichard will personally conduct these safety trainings in Bern in 2023.

These safety courses are offered in modules and always include a theoretical and a practical part, which can be conducted on the R22 or H125 simulator regardless of the weather.

The Vuichard Recovery Safety Foundation firmly believes that this training represents a turning point and the beginning of a whole new field that will reduce human factors accidents by up to 90%.
