Step Change in Safety 25th anniversary: 2017 - Aviation Safety

Following the publication of the CAP1145 report by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Step Change in Safety contributed to improving helicopter safety by addressing some of the recommendations in the report which would aid survival in the event of a ditching. These include a process that ensures all passengers are sitting closest to an emergency exit that is suitable for their body size, upgrading breathing apparatus to allow users longer to exit a submerged helicopter and a clothing policy which means passengers wear suitable clothes underneath their survival suits.
