Aviation Aircraft Underwater Escape And Survival Perth   ·   Melbourne   ·   Darwin

Learn How to Escape & Survive a Helicopter Ditching into Water | For Aviation Personnel

The purpose of ERGT Australia’s Aviation Aircraft Underwater Escape and Survival (AVI AUES) course is to provide trainees with the skills and knowledge required to undertake aircraft underwater escape and survival techniques. Trainees on this course are generally flight crews who support/visit offshore facilities or domestic emergency services but do not work on the facility. These personnel are required to be competent in responding to emergency situations where there may be a need for them to exit a downed aircraft and survive at sea for a protracted period of time.

In the case where personnel spend considerable time on an offshore facility within Australian waters it is highly likely that they will be required to complete a worldwide recognised Offshore Petroleum OPITO approved BOSIET  or TBOSIET course (offered at ERGT), which is different to the nationally recognised unit offered in this course. If unsure please contact your employer or info@ergt.com.au
