RDM Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 SFC, have done a couple, I would suggest Survival Systems outa Dartmouth NS, they are by far the best, good equipment with excellent instructors. well worth the coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannet Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 I went through the Dartmouth company as well. I found it excellent training with good equipment and staff. I don''t have any experience with the other company, but have heard good things about them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinger Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 sfc, WHy the interest in the HUET course? If your just wanting an extra for the resume, I''d spend it on something else like a rating. I worked as a diver on a HUET for quite a while. Having just visited every heli opertator in BC and Alberta, I can tell you that, that experience didn''t even raise an eyebrow.

I''d hate to find myself flying over water (recreationally or professionally) and not properly prepared for an emergency. I wouldn''t expect it to carry much weight with most operators, but I''d certainly feel better knowing that if the time came when I had to go for a swim I was able to get clear of the aircraft.

412driver Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 i like your thinking sfc, but as previously stated, it won''t make a difference. any company that has the requirement will put you through the course so save your money. besides, if your just starting out the chances are the ratings you hold will keep you "within gliding distance of shore". yes?

How''s ''bout I''m flying over forest or urban area, run into a spot of bother with the engine, only "safe" lz is trees or open water? Trees the a/c is destroyed, water (possibly a reasonable depth) aircraft may salvageable. Which do you hit? What if you hit the water expecting it to be 3'' deep (looks like a flooded field from 500'' down to 50'') only to find out it''s 30''. Suddenly I''m swimming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
