title: The IFR bullet: can it kill our accident rate?
abstract: The helicopter air ambulance community has been very consistent lately: about once a month, we crash. A fifth of those crashes involve weather, the biggest category by far. Suppose we had a silver bullet, aiming all our safety emphasis on this one area; could we blow a hole in our accident rate?
