•Case Study: The Safest Aircrafts In The Sky
By Intermec
Beyond the banks of the Albemarle Sound, over the deep waters of the Atlantic, somewhere west of Bermuda, a HH-60 Jayhawk surges through the midnight sky. By day, the black beak and crimson stripe and tail of the medium-range recovery helicopter contrasts boldly with its white body, and darting above the navy waters of the ocean at 180 knots, a spectator sees only a blur of red, white and blue – the colors of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and the country it serves. The two pilots spot their objective after moments of searching: a capsized yacht that drifted too far into the storm. Behind the cockpit, the rescue swimmer dives into the cold depths as the hoist operator prepares the lift. The victims are hauled to safety, one by one. Once all are aboard and secure, the Jayhawk distances itself from the ocean and ascends once more into the clouded night sky.
For the USCG, successes such as these rely on years of disciplined training, a dedication and drive toward superior teamwork, and a deep respect for the weather and the water. However, beyond the aptitude of the crew, a successful mission depends upon safe, reliable aircraft parts.
