Personnel Safety and Survival for Helicopter Operations For Pilots and
Passengers. |
| An
essential 16-hour course for anyone who works in or around helicopter
operations. Could be taught in two 8-hour modules. Half of this course
focuses on safety rules and procedures and would be especially good training
for ground personnel who meet incoming aircraft, and who may occasionally
board/ride aircraft. The other half of this course concentrates on emergency
preparedness and post crash survival techniques, necessary information
for crew members and passengers. |

Content: |
| Helicopter
orientation and personnel safety; Helicopter landing and takeoff areas;
Rescue methods and devices; Emergency landing procedures and occupant
restraint; Establishing the priorities and necessities of life; Mental
factors in survival; Survival physiology in the emergency environment;
Clothing protection and improvised shelter; Signaling; Air search and

| 2.
Survival Sense For General Aviation Pilots and Passengers. |
|
Each
year, thousands of pilots ,along with their families and friends climb
into small general aviation aircraft of all types and descriptions with
no thought about preparedness or the consequences of emergency landing
in an isolated area. This two-day, 16-hour class is packed full of vitally
important and interesting facts that every pilot and his passengers
should know. While many traditional survival courses concentrate on
primitive living skills, this program utilizes the lessons learned from
hundreds of actual case histories to emphasize what the real priorities
are during a survival situation. Advanced and special interest courses
are also available. Overnight, 2-day practical field trips are also
available.
Special
Note: The information contained in the "Survival Sense" course can be
adapted to any type of outdoor recreational activity and audience, e.g.
hunters, hikers, four wheel drivers, snowmobilers, etc. Can also be
adapted for those who need information on how to live and work in outdoor
environments.
