Handbook for Aviation Survival Sense

Printed on waterproof pages. A practical guide to survival skills planning and preparedness.

Aviation Survival Sense covers a wide range of topics. Pilots and aircrew members need to know how to dress for the aviation environment, how to build and use an aircraft survival kit, how to deal with post-crash factors such as shelter, water, food, warmth, signaling distress, and other issues related to one's well being after a successful forced landing. In addition, those who fly over water require training in ditching procedures, underwater escape and use of auxiliary breathing devices, emergency floatation, raft management, and survival at sea. The purpose of this handbook is twofold: it should be used (1) for preflight planning to prepare for potential search, rescue, and/or survival situations, and (2) as a practical field guide for dealing with a variety of problems and challenges encountered in an actual survival situation. If you only carry a single item in preparation for an aircraft emergency, This Is It!
