Captain Marion “Gus” Shrode Flight Safety Award

Air Station Houston Safety Department

Nomination Summary

The 2020 Captain Marion Gus Shrode Aviation Safety Award recipient is Air Station Houston Safety Department. The Houston safety team tackled major initiatives in water quality research, crew endurance, mishap reporting and training.

Working with 15 federal, state, and local governments and other agencies they uncovered the presence of Polyflouroalkyl substances in the immediate area and were able to verify critical training areas were clear of the substance, allowing for increased hoist training opportunities. The Houston safety team connected with local agencies to establish tracking, testing and surveilling of the local bay in an effort to prevent personnel exposure to such substances in the future.

Furthermore, the Houston Safety Department initiated the units first ever Crew Endurance Management program ahead of the upcoming transition to the MH65E, and capturing member data before and after the units COVID-19 duty schedule began. These efforts created a baseline reference for Houston to evaluate during this summer’s MH 65 Echo transition. Houston employed a new online reporting tool for vastly improved performance and provided input into numerous ALSAFETY messages.

Finally, Houston created a comprehensive review of the three most-recent MH-65 Class A mishaps, noting commonalities and cultural norms while focusing on unintended negative consequences of policy and culture.

Air Station Houston’s Safety Department embodies the Commandant’s guiding principles of Ready, Relevant and Responsive. Their approach to promoting, educating, and advancing aviation safety at both the unit and enterprise level is highly deserving of the 2020 Captain Gus Shrode Aviation Safety Award.

AMT3 Tyler S. Cook

Nomination Summary

The Captain Frank A. Erickson Award is presented to the Sector Humboldt Bay crew of CGNR 6561, LCDR Derek L. Schramel, LTJG Adam J. Ownbey, AMT3 Tyler S. Cook, and AST1 P. Graham McGinnis, in recognition of their heroic efforts on 05 September, 2019, responding to a report of two critically injured firefighters requiring extraction from a steep forested area within an active wildfire. Having just completed a two hour training sortie, CGNR 6561 launched at 2300 and, shortly before midnight, entered a valley obscured by smoke with no visual horizon, steep terrain, and intense flames. Battling bouts of vertigo, updrafts, and night vision goggle (NVG) washout from the flames below, LCDR Schramel established a hover above the hoisting area after multiple attempts. AST1 McGinnis was hoisted to the confined area, where he began to assess the patients and prepare for a litter hoist until LTJG Ownbey determined there would not be enough time to hoist the patient and the Rescue Swimmer before needing to refuel. AMT3 Cook aborted the hoist and CGNR 6515 recovered at a full-service airfield to reassess the mission. Although they assessed the mission as high risk, the crew determined the mission still had a reasonable chance of success and would undoubtedly save the lives of both firefighters. All unneeded items were removed from the helicopter to reduce weight, increase fuel capacity, and create room in the cabin to hoist both patients. The crew of CGNR 6515 launched on their third sortie of the day at 0256. Arriving back at the scene, the crew noticed the fire had advanced down the hill to the edge of the hoisting area and flanked the clearing on three sides. During the first approach, updrafts buffeted the aircraft and resulted in a sudden increase in descent rate that could not be arrested, forcing LCDR Schramel to fly down the hillside to avoid impacting the trees. He then used an alternative second approach, avoiding the updrafts, and established a hover with the fire line now at the edge of the clearing. Using linked trail lines, additional weight bags, and a non-standard Litter Augmented Double Pick-Up (LADPU) procedure, AMT3 Cook hoisted AST1 McGinnis to the steep slope using nearly all of the hoist cable. AST1 McGinnis then hauled the litter 25 feet up the steep terrain and wedged his legs underneath it for support while loading the first firefighter. AMT3 Cook and AST1 McGinnis recovered the first patient and extracted the 280-pound man from the litter. AST1 McGinnis injured his back during this process but willingly re-rigged the litter for another LADPU and was delivered to the hoisting area where the flames began to climb the surrounding trees. AST1 McGinnis again unhooked from the hoist and wedged his legs underneath the litter to stabilize it, allowing the second patient to be loaded. AMT3 Cook was unable to see the hoisting area due to increased smoke but LTJG Ownbey faintly heard AST1 McGinnis call for pick-upon on the radio. AST1 McGinnis was then hoisted through the smoke and the second patient was safely loaded into the cabin. LCDR Schramel used 100 percent engine power to prevent settling into the trees while LTJG Ownbey provided essential backup of power, position, and altitude. LCDR Schramel flew out of the hoisting area and passed controls to LTJG Ownbey after total exhaustion from over 30 minutes of precision hoisting. CGNR 6561 then flew to the nearby helibase and transferred the patients to waiting medical helicopters at 0357.

Nomination Summary

The Commander Elmer F. Stone Award is presented to the Air Station Cape Cod crew of CGNR 2313, LCDR Christopher McKay, LTJG Banning S. Lobmeyer, AMT2 Jesse R. Oudman, AMT3 Brandon E. Sabala, AET3 Connor D. Shannon, and AET3 Nicolas G. Stewart, in recognition of their heroic efforts on 24 July, 2019, responding to an emergency position- indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) for the trimaran S/V ISHMAEL, 330 miles offshore Cape Cod. S/V ISMAEL was in the middle of a major convective system with lines of embedded thunderstorms that the crew of CGNR 2313 battled both on scene and during their transit to the stricken vessel. Through limited text messages with the master, who was the lone soul onboard, via the EPIRB, it was reported that part of the trimaran had broken away and the vessel was flooded up to the cabin. When they arrived on scene, the crew of CGNR 2313 encountered continuous moderate turbulence, the maximum allowable for the aircraft, visibility of less than one mile, and 500 foot ceilings. While searching on NVGs below 500 feet, CGNR 2313 continuously battled severe low-level wind shear, causing altitude losses ranging from 200 to 300 feet and air speed fluctuations of 20 knots. Battling low illumination, poor radar picture, and several malfunctions of the Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) camera, LTJG Lobmeyer was able to locate a barely visible light from the vessel using NVGs. AET3 Stewart provided critical backup to the pilots as they battled turbulent conditions by moving up to the cockpit to help watch for airspeed and altitude deviations during aerial deliveries. This left AET3 Shannon alone to work a degraded FLIR and to manage all external communications while AMT2 Oudman and AMT3 Sabala readied the crew and aircraft to conduct aerial deliveries. With visibility of less than one mile, the pilots were unable to see the vessel until almost directly over it. LCDR McKay manually maneuvered the aircraft in moderate turbulence to conduct precise last-minute adjustments needed to give them the best chance of conducting an accurate drop. After three aborted attempts, CGNR 2313 successfully deployed a radio can, followed by an Ariel Sea Rescue Kit 16 and a Self-Locating Datum Marker Buoy. The radio proved vital in allowing search crews over the next ten hours to relocate the vessel via radio direction finder and communicate with the master. It also enabled the master to coordinate with a Good Samaritan to safely disembark the vessel.
