We flew to Panama City, Florida, to attend a survival seminar with STARK Survival. We signed up for an Underwater Egress and HEED training in addition to Emergency Water Landing training. This class was specifically designed to show us how to ditch an aircraft on cold water off of the North Atlantic Ocean in case we lose our engine and how to evacuate and survive until we are rescued. We have a lot of confidence in our Aircraft’s engine, but engine failure could happen, so we wanted to be prepared.
Also, it was a great opportunity to see the person who you will be flying with for the next two months in emergency action. Not to mention that it was a lot of fun. |
