How to Make Helicopter Sightseeing Tours Safer

Crash reveals dangers of rides for sightseeers" (title page, 13 March): On Sunday evening, five passenger were killed when a New York sightseeing plane plunged into the East River. A few thoughts on how to prevent further pointless deaths: Because Manhattan is the only secure place to go on the beach in an emergencies situation, such a helicopter should be equipped with permanently fixed docks.

When the helicopter overturned in the waters, the weak inflation boats turned out to be useless. "But it'?ll consume more fuel," helicopter owners will say. Organize a competition among student engineers to get many great idea to make these helicopter trips safe. A number of hypotheses about the death of passengers in the helicopter accident in Manhattan were cited, as well as the fact that it was a doors-off plane.

A further important fact may be behind the collision. A few routes take you with single-engine choppers, others with twin-engine choppers. Eurocopter AS350, which went down on Sunday evening, was a single-engine helicopter. In general, a helicopter with a singles motor is considered to be much less secure as there is no back-up power unit if the prime mover is out.

Several of my friend crews working on aeromedical missions are refusing to travel in single-engine aircraft for security purposes. Since we believe that an aircraft malfunction was implicated in the Sunday evening accident, I am hopeful that policy will consider possible limitations on single-engine choppers for touring - especially door-to-door helicopter touring.
