• Require Collision Avoidance and Connected Vehicle Technologies on All Vehicles
• Eliminate Distracted Driving
• Install Crash Resistant Recorders and Establish Flight Data Monitoring Programs
• Protect Vulnerable Road Users through a Safe System Approach
• Improve Pipeline Leak Detection and Mitigation
• Improve Rail Worker Safety
• Improve Passenger and Fishing Vessel Safety
The list was developed from more than 1,200 items gathered and proposed by the various offices within the NTSB. The last item was originally two separate items in the draft list that came up for debate, one relating to fire-detection and extinguishing equipment aboard passenger vessels, and the other relating to safety aboard fishing vessels. But after discussion, the two items were combined to make room for the item about improving rail worker safety. One board member pointed out that commercial fishing is the most dangerous occupation in the country.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) met April 6, 2021, to select the items for the agency’s 2021–2022 Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Improvements. Two of the 10 items on the list would affect the rotorcraft industry:
• From the NTSB Office of Aviation Safety, the recommendation is to “Require and Verify the Effectiveness of Safety Management Systems (SMS) in All Revenue Passenger-Carrying Aviation Operations”
• From the NTSB Office of Research and Engineering, the recommendation is to “Install Crash-Resistant Recorders and Establish Flight Data Monitoring Programs.”
HAI is grateful to the directors and staff of the NTSB for their continued efforts to improve US transportation safety,” says James Viola, president and CEO of HAI. “We agree and support their recommendation to require SMS programs for all passenger-carrying operations, and encourage the use of recorders and flight-data monitoring (FDM) programs.” HAI
