Aircrew flight-equipment personnel set up four stations to conduct the training. The training scenarios included a parachute drag release, a single-man life raft station, a parachute maneuver station and a 20-man life raft station.
The parachute drag release station simulated the moments an aircrew member experiences after landing in water with a parachute. The training entailed life preserver inflation and quick parachute release despite high winds.
The single-man life raft station tested an Airman’s ability to enter a lift raft without incident and allowed idividuals to become familiar with the raft’s supplies.
The third station forced Airmen to maneuver under a parachute while in water. To survive the potential situation of being submerged under a parachute, Airmen practiced finding air pockets and avoiding entanglements in parachute lines.
The fourth station involved the 20-man life raft. The group’s Airmen practiced boarding the large life raft without causing a puncture and learned about the raft’s store of supplies and how to properly care for the raft.
