Flight into DVE requires IFR Proficiency & Aircraft IFR equipped. #Proficiency is perishable skill requiring initial & ongoing recurrent training in IFR skills & ability to recognize & recover from SD. #trainingworks #helicopter https://t.co/WHQpVYxiqu https://t.co/yapUSXwI9A

This is 4th fan blade out (FBO)event in past 5 years involving separation of engine cowl & inlet. Two were CFM56 engines (Southwest 737s), and 2 were P&W4000 engines) on United 777-200s). Not “uncontained” technically. Nacelle Structural integrity issue. https://t.co/qDdW8U9LTV

Spatial Disorientation can affect any pilot. Training is critical to understand how, why and when it can happen and most importantly how to avoid it. NTSB, USHST, HAI and most other industry experts recommend TRAINING #spatialdisorientation https://t.co/WHQpVYfHyW

[AT Systems, LLC @atsystemsllc]

According to NTSB, 184 deadly aircraft crashes—including 20 deadly #helicopter crashes—involved spacial disorientation (SD) in the time period between 2010 and 2019. @popsci Popular Science explains. #trainingworks https://t.co/WHQpVYfHyW

Spatial disorientation SD frequently has fatal consequences. Training is effective with new technology being evaluated by NTSB & US Army for effective SD scenario-based training. https://t.co/XV0wKyGRR4 #helicopter #trainingworks #KobeBryant

[NTSB Newsroom @NTSB_Newsroom]

Sumwalt: The recommendations that we reiterated, and those that we reclassified, if acted upon, would result in safety management systems and flight data monitoring programs throughout Part 135 aviation, including installation of the devices that would make FDM possible.
