Can't remember the last time I did a HUET with a wave machine, think it was 1991 in Aberdeen.

One metre wave machine seems a bit low but I'm assuming it's for safety reasons, then again we're not really simulating actual conditions or do we reduce SS limits? Same applies with current HUEBA training, this needs to change to make the training more realistic.

On a positive note I still see this latest announcement as an improvement on where we are today, if anything it will most likely highlight PAX fitness as another safety issue on top of the "bouyant boot" suits we're currently using...

Safe flying
