A TWO DAY CONFERENCE
TECHNOLOGY: FRIEND OR FOE? THE INTRODUCTION OF AUTOMATION TO OFFSHORE OPERATIONS This conference will focus on automation in modern complex helicopters engaged in offshore operations world-wide, and the underlying design, operational and training issues. The Royal Aeronautical Society, as an independent body with a wide spectrum of aeronautical disciplines is uniquely placed to bring interested parties together to discuss and influence ways in which helicopter design, operation and training can be further improved to increase operational effectiveness, while raising the bar on flight safety.
VENUE Royal Aeronautical Society No.4 Hamilton Place London, United Kingdom, W1J 7BQ T: +44 (0)20 7670 4345 Sponsored by
The importance of human factors will be threaded throughout the entire programme, from the need for human-centric design in cockpit display presentations and automation, to the need for effective operational procedures and crew training and cooperation. The conference has been endorsed by key stakeholders such as the European Helicopter Operator’s Committee, Oil & Gas UK and the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers. Keynote addresses will be given by Mark Swan, Head of the UK CAA’s Safety and Airspace Regulation Group, and Captain Tim Rolfe, Director, Quality, Safety & Standards, Bristow Group.
