Cabin underwater escape course

The course aims to enhance the ability to survive when an airplane or helicopter (or any other vehicle) sinks and/or turns upside down in the water.

This training will give participants a better understanding of the importance of preparation before an emergency landing on water.

The training focuses on the cabin environment and how you as an individual and the crew as a whole evacuates regardless if the craft is a helicopter, a boat or an aircraft.
