Air Crew Land Survival - ACS:

 [ Home ] [ Courses ] [ Register Online ]
  There is an age-old adage: “It is better to have something and not need it than to need it and not have it.” 

This especially applies to the necessity of being trained in the art of survival. For air crew members it could be your next flight that makes an unscheduled landing and your spending the night in a field or in the middle of the woods. Even a short course in basic survival skills can make the difference in whether or not you make it out alive. 

This 24-hour course exposes the learner to survival psychology, techniques and must-have skills. Together we will explore the essentials of surviving a hard landing, learning how to keep fear in check, and problem solving your way out, using what you have available. Class will consist of didactic and actual in-the-field experience. 

This course includes: 		 
  • Pre-event preparation
