Threat and Error Management (TEM) for Helicopter Operations

Source: EASA Community Network

Here’s one for the helicopter community. An introduction to the principles of threat and error management with a particular focus on how it affects rotary wing operations.

In helicopter operations, the TEM model is particularly valuable due to the unique challenges and operational complexities involved. Helicopter pilots often face varied and dynamic environments, such as adverse weather conditions, confined landing zones, and low-altitude operations. The TEM model helps pilots anticipate, detect and manage threats, errors and Undesired Aircraft States (UAS, and keep margins of safety.

This resource includes links to relevant #videos and for instructors there is a section on how to teach TEM to a helicopter audience, complete with a full set of references and linked material.
