Wet Drills, etc. Training for Corporate Pilots
Is it mandatory for corporate/non-airline pilots to undergo wet drills, etc. training?
Mandatory or not, do most corporate/non-airline pilots do these courses?

No, it is not mandatory. However, the Flight Safety School for Gulfstream I believes offers this training. My wife attended the Flight Safety Flight Attendant School in Savanna Georgia and part of the curriculum of the course was ditching and helicopter hoist simulated rescue in a special pool designed for this express purpose.
Of course I have been through this type training as well.

Indeed required under JAR Ops once every three years and includes swimming a distance (which I can't remember) with clothes on with an uniflated lifejacket and then with it inflated. Can be done at your local pool and signed off by a swimming instructor.
I do mine at Global Air Training http://www.globalairtraining.com/ I find them very helpful and the training is good.

Beleive it's part of the "Safety Stand-Down" that Bombardier organize for flight crew (corporate & OEM not just BA) in Wichita every year. They will shortly be holding the first such event in Europe.
From their website:
Montreal, April 5, 2007 – Bombardier Aerospace, the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) today announced that the highly acclaimed Bombardier Safety Standdown, held annually in Wichita, Kansas, since 1996, will also take place this year in Europe.
The European Safety Standdown is scheduled to be held on Friday, May 25, in Geneva, Switzerland, at the Crowne Plaza Geneva Hotel, following the conclusion of the 7th annual European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (EBACE).
Think the Wichita one is free - don't know about this one. Suggest contacting Bob Agostino at BA (Learjet) if you're interested.

Corp safety training
There is no requirement for Pt91, or any other private operations to undergo any form of Safety Training.
You can hire a raft plus demonstrator, and use your local pool, he will give you a certificate. Bring your own out of dsate vests, or hire these also.
You can contact your local airport fire service, they will do the smoke drills, and give a certificate.
The St Johns Ambulance, will give you the first aid course, plus certificate.
OR
Come to Emerates training in Dubai, and do the full courses, and get to use the over wing 777 slides, (burns your heels), the full motion cabin simulator, inc smoke, and slide into pool...
CRM, SEP, Etc, etc...expensive but fantastic.
Tomorrow I get to play dead......
As a matter of information their charges for the G4, G5, G550, and Hawker 800 are lower than any other known brand.
Its windy

Under JAR OPS 1 you must do: Fire & Smoke, Wet drills and First Aid.
I did all of them including evacuation from underwater helicopter (upsidedown) and pbe use in a filled smoke environment.
All training above for less than 300 euro in Italy at APT of Pavia.
