JSAT Process - adapting to rotorcraft data

JSAT Process relies on reconstruction of event sequences

Lack of detailed data in rotorcraft accidents

JHSAT will be more dependent on subject matter experts to fill voids in data

Develop customized list of standard problem statements

Continuing to work sample accident reports to better understand process issues.
