CONTENT:

  • Presentation on hazards, equipment, and procedures associated with over-water flight
  • Live cabin smoke and fire control using a portable fire extinguisher
  • Pre-ditching procedures and landing considerations
  • Surface evacuation from a floating and submerging aircraft using emergency exits
  • Basic underwater escape SWET (Shallow Water Egress Trainer)
  • Full disorientation underwater escape METS® (Modular Egress Training Simulator)
  • Surface water survival via group and personal hypothermia mitigation (Life vest and life raft)
  • Search and rescue devices and procedures

DURATION:

  • Eight (8) Hours

ASET-2

This comprehensive program addresses the risks associated with frequent travel over or near water by providing pilots, aircrew, and passengers with pre-flight, in-flight, and post aircraft ditching knowledge and survival skills including use of emergency breathing devices. The extended format provides the optimal environment to participants to assimilate the required skills. This course is equivalent to the Dunker Training Course (DTC) and covers the content required for compliance with AR 95-1.

 

CONTENT:

  • Presentation on hazards, equipment, and procedures associated with over-water flight
