WHY TO CONSIDER EGRESS TRAINING FOR BOTH PILOTS AND PASSENGERS

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

 

 

               Why to consider Egress Training for both pilots and passengers

 

 

Statistics show somewhere every single day of the year an aircraft for any variety of reasons, end its flight unscheduled in water.

 

Here in Canada last summer alone there were several incidents, unfortunately not all occupants survived. Aviation Egress Safety Systems of Victoria BC has been teaching pilots and passengers how to successfully Egress from aircraft inverted in water since 1998.

 

Of the thousands of students trained to date, very few egressed with out difficulty during the first few tries while in our equipment training in a warm swimming pool.

Once an aircraft has ditched inverted in water unexpectedly, the occupants immediately panic become disorientated and waste the precious few seconds they have, trapped and helpless. Pilots are more familiar with their aircraft doors and exits, although they too are totally out of their element once immersed in cold water, and the majority also have difficulty escaping. Through training in a safe warm environment with specialized equipment the opposite takes place, and few later have difficulty returning to the surface under control. Both pilots and passengers once Egress trained, proved to be well versed in what to expect in the event they become unlucky enough to be involved in an aircraft ditching.

 

 This one day training program is tailored for the light aircraft occupants and includes beverages and food through out the course, and a certificate upon completion.

It is suggested students bring with them a change of cloths including clean footwear which will get wet, and a towel.

 

 

Total cost per person is $350.00 Canada wide/ $265.00 at Victoria BC (Home Base) plus GST

 

Also there is now the first ever book “DITCHING PRINCIPLES” available at for $15.95

for those unable to attend, or this is a great primer to better understand the program.
