Safety & Survival for General Aviation
Aviation Survival Sense
Regardless of how remote the probabilities of making a forced emergency landing in a general aviation aircraft may seem, the possibility does exist. Every day, hundreds of pilots and their families, friends and co-workers climb into small general aviation aircraft with no thought about preparedness or the consequences of emergency landing in an isolated area. This two-day, 16 to 24 hour course was developed in concert with the Washington State and Montana Divisions of Aeronautics as a preventive search effort to curb the growing SAR problems in those states. The program is full of vitally important and interesting facts that every pilot and his passengers should know. While many survival courses concentrate on primitive living skills, this program utilizes the lessons learned from hundreds of actual case histories to emphasize what the real priorities are during a survival situation. Advanced and special environment courses are also available such as those offered through Montana Aeronautics that involve overnight, practical field trips.
