decompression training movie
 
Hy. Anyone has or knows where I can find a training movie on decompression to show pilots the effect of rapid depresurization at high altitudes?

Not training material standard by any means, but YouTube contains several short clips including

YouTube - Effects Of Explosive Cabin Decompression On Crew

and

YouTube - Piaggio P-180 Avanti Rapid Decompression

This one, though, is prolly more like what you're after

YouTube - Pilots in Decompression Chamber

NB the third link is NOT a decompression clip - it shows the effects of anoxia.

I would suggest you try one of the military for training videos of decompression chamber runs. I believe RAF North Luffenham (as was?) would have had some and there have been some on UK TV programmes. The RAF training has been taken over, I believe, by The RAF Centre of Aviation Medicine at RAF Henlow - you could try there? The standard 'run' in my day was in one chanber at 25,000ft and a diaphragm then ruptured between us and a chamber at 100,000ft taking us to around 56,000ft I recall. Perhaps a little dramatic for airline crew, though:)

re the third link I posted: Very true - should have made that clear in my post. I shall go stand in the corner for half an hour. :}

Decompression movie
 
I have a DVD issued by an Australian company promoting its hypoxia training device. If you are interested please send me a PM.

Write a nice letter to NASA. I saw some tests they did with crash test dummies - startling to watch a adult dummy strapped into a passenger seat get sucked head first out of a passenger window, when they blew out the window! I was surprised it could even fit!
