Safety Notice SN-40
Issued: Jul 2006
POSTCRASH FIRES
There have been a number of cases where helicopter or light plane occupants
have survived an accident only to be severely burned by fire following the
accident. To reduce the risk of injury in a postcrash fire, it
is strongly recommended that a fire-retardant Nomex flight suit, gloves, and
hood or helmet be worn by all occupants.
