Course Overview

The half-day Utilise Emergency Breathing System – Aviation Industry (AVI-UEBS) course at ERGT Australia provides training in the safe use of aviation emergency breathing systems, helping participants respond confidently in helicopter ditching and survival situations.

The Utilise Emergency Breathing System – Aviation Industry (AVI UEBS) course at ERGT provides learners with the skills and knowledge to safely operate aviation emergency breathing systems during helicopter operations over water. This training is vital for managing ditching and underwater escape scenarios, helping ensure survival and safety in high-risk environments.
This half-day course delivers the outcome AVIF0049 Utilise emergency breathing system and is often completed alongside AVIF0048 Undertake aircraft underwater escape and survival as part of ERGT’s Aviation Combination course. The program is short, intensive, and focused on realistic, hands-on application in simulated operational conditions. This training is physically demanding and includes extensive in-water activities. A current industry approved or HUET medical is required for participation.

Upon successful completion learners will be issued with a Statement of Attainment in:
AVIF0049 Utilise emergency breathing systems
Introduction to aviation emergency breathing systems.
Equipment function, limitations, and safety considerations.
Pre-use checks and donning procedures.
Breathing techniques and underwater simulation practice
Survival protocols in ditching and underwater escape.

This course uses a blend of:

Classroom-based learning to introduce equipment function and safety principles.

Practical demonstrations of emergency breathing system use.

Hands-on underwater simulations in controlled environments.

Guided feedback and debriefs to consolidate learning outcomes.
