 - March 2, 2015, 12:45 PM

Insurance provider USAIG has added new training courses available to its clients through Performance Vector, the insurer’s training and safety-enhancement service. An Aviation Maintenance Never Events webinar series has been added to the training offerings, targeting the six most costly errors in aviation maintenance.

New York-based USAIG continues to offer its Safety Bucks, available exclusively to rotorcraft operators, which provide credits to pilots and maintenance technicians for recurrent training from select training centers. More than $6 million in Safety Bucks credits have been returned to operators under the program, according to USAIG. The service also offers safety-enhancement programs for helicopter operators including human factors training for pilots and maintenance technicians, and the Z-Coach service for sleep-enhancing strategies and tools.

“As an insurer focused solely on aviation, we recognize the critical importance of regular recurrent training for helicopter pilots,” said David McKay, USAIG president and CEO.
