GASCo is running a Ditching & Sea Survival Seminar at the RNLI College on
Tuesday 21st March 2017 starting at 1000 hours and finishing by 1700 hours. There are some places left so if you would like to join us please get in touch
asap to register. Full details and application form can be found at:
ditching & sea survival seminar
There are presentations about pre-flight preparation and considerations on how to handle a ditching emergency together with many practical tips; advice on surviving a ditching; sea survival and choice of survival aids. The theory sessions are followed by a practical session in the state-of-the-art facilities of the RNLI’s integrated Sea Survival Centre, where real-life conditions and rescue operations will be simulated to give you essential practical experience in sea safety and survival techniques using typical GA lifesaving equipment and realistic water conditions. Participants are closely supervised throughout by the in-water team of highly competent RNLI trainers and lifesavers.
The seminar will reinforce the excellent points made by all the posters here especially
The Old Fat Man whose advice is right on the money. All equipment is provided but you are encouraged to bring your own survival suits, lifejackets and dinghies if you wish to try them out in representative conditions.
GASCo is a charity and the seminar is not run for profit so I trust that I am not breaching PPRUNE advertising rules by promoting the seminar here.
