What to write about

Correction

Wrong CFR section, outdated AC reference, misquoted FAA Order, stale POH or RFM citation, factual error in an NTSB report summary. Include the article URL and the primary source that contradicts our claim.
Topic request

A helicopter safety topic we haven't covered - rotorcraft type-specific procedures, HEMS sub-topics, Part 133 external load, Part 137 ag work, accident analysis we should publish, training scenario we should document.
Source dispute

Disagreement with a cited source, a competing primary source we should also reference, or a newer FAA/NTSB/USHST publication that supersedes what we cite. Send the link to the document.
Partnership

We don't accept paid placements in editorial guides. Educational and safety partnerships (FAA-approved training providers, .edu, .gov, NTSB-affiliated programs, USHST member operators) are reviewed case-by-case.

Editorial standards

FAAHeliSafety cites primary sources for every claim - FAA, eCFR, NTSB, USHST, HAI, AOPA, or manufacturer documentation. We don't accept paid placements in editorial guides.

Out of scope

What this form is not for

For these, the resources below answer faster and more accurately than we can.

Flight training enrollment

We don't broker training. Contact a 14 CFR Part 61 instructor or a Part 141 helicopter school directly. Bristow Academy (FL), Hillsboro Aero Academy (OR), Quantum Helicopters (AZ), Mauna Loa Helicopters (HI), and Upper Limit Aviation (UT) are common starting points.

FAA medical questions

Medical special issuances, deferrals, BasicMed eligibility, and aircraft-specific medical fitness route to your Aviation Medical Examiner (AME). FAA's AME locator: faa.gov/pilots/amelocator. For appeals, the FAA Office of Aerospace Medicine handles cases.

Legal interpretation of 14 CFR

Specific interpretations of FAA enforcement actions, certificate suspensions, accident-related certificate review, or complex multi-rule scenarios need an aviation attorney. AOPA Pilot Protection Services or NBAA legal staff are good starting points for referrals.

Accident reporting

If you witnessed or were involved in a rotorcraft accident or incident, report directly to the NTSB (notification under 49 CFR 830 within hours for accidents) and the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO). This site does not collect accident reports.
