The Onshore Safety Review (CAP1864)

This article was published in 2019 with the aim of providing an assessment of safety performance for UK onshore helicopter operations and to set actions or make recommendations to improve safety, with the ultimate aim of minimising the likelihood of accidents and incidents. 

Since publication, both the COVID-19 pandemic and changes brought by Brexit have meant a delay to the progress of many actions and recommendations. Furthermore, some areas of the report are now less relevant, whilst others will need increased focus due to, for example, changes and advancement in technology over the last few years.

Where Actions or Recommendations have been closed, a statement will provide summary detail of the closure.

Any Actions and Recommendations that are currently open are being advanced by either the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Onshore Safety Leadership Group (OnSLG) or Industry and will be updated as regularly as possible, with those not yet shown being in the development stage.
