Helicopter Underwater Escape Training
looking at making up a course for HUET at Teeside.
2 places left
any takers?
looking around Jan-Early Feb 09
to include fire fighting and first aid.
Alternatively - can anyone offer 2 places on a similiar course.
uk or europe?
Not looking to fulfill AOC requirements - just enhancing training for private corporate flying

I did this at the place in Southampton and it's FUC888G scary. NEVER, EVER agaain will I do that. I take my hats off to you guys who have to do it, how often? three yearly or something to keep flying???
My airline dinghy drills involved jumping into a pool and being dragged into a rubber boat by eight twenty-something bikini clad babes! That'll do me.
Good experience though, the ditching exercise. But only once.

The Southampton Trainer is a cramped, claustrophobic little box. I've been through there a couple of times. The larger fuselage used at Nutec I find less constricting and more pleasant all round (if you can describe underwater escape as pleasant!).

Foolish not to really - if you fly over water - and I consider Norfolk to Belgium far enough for a new Starflex to fall apart!
Managed to get on a Dunker course at that Yeovilton as part of my resettlement years ago but trying to get somewhere closer to home this time. Had the classic post-currynight symptoms and had to keep repeating one of the Dunks due to a fellow pilot not doing the drills correctly - happy days!

Choppers in deep maintenance until Feb so trying to spend some 'train to gain' funding - and thought co-pilot would appreciate getting dunked!

Did you sort out that Silverstone fracas?
