  • Basic Survival Skills for Aviation
    OK-06-033 BASIC SURVIVAL SKILLS FOR AVIATION OFFICE OF AEROSPACE MEDICINE CIVIL AEROSPACE MEDICAL INSTITUTE AEROMEDICAL EDUCATION DIVISION INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI). CAMI is part of the FAA’s Office of Aerospace Medicine (OAM). As an integral part of the OAM mission, CAMI has several responsibilities. One responsi- bility tasked to CAMI’s Aerospace Medical Education Division is to assure safety and promote aviation excellence through aeromedical education. To help ensure that this mission becomes reality, the Aerospace Medical Edu- cation Division, through the Airman Education Programs, established a one day post-crash survival course. This course is designed as an introduction to survival, providing the basic knowledge and skills for coping with various survival situations and environments. If your desire is to participate in a more extensive course than ours you will find many highly qualified alternatives, quite possibly in your local area. Because no two survival episodes are identical, there is no "PAT" answer to any one-survival question. Your instructors have extensive back- ground and training, and have conducted basic survival training for the mili- tary. If you have any questions on survival, please ask. If we don't have the answer, we will find one for you. Upon completion, you will have an opportunity to critique the course. Please take the opportunity to provide us with your thoughts con- cerning the course, instructors, training aids. This will be your best opportu- nity to express your opinion on how we might improve this course. Enjoy the course. 1 NOTES CIVIL AEROSPACE MEDICAL INSTITUTE _____________________________________________________ Director: Melchor J.

  • Digital Selective Calling VHF-FM Channel 16 (156.800 Mhz) Or 2182 Khz (HF-AM) - Distress, Safety and Calling
    DISTRESS SIGNALS AND EMERGENCY FREQUENCIES 121.5 MHz 121.5 MHz Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon, or EPIRB (marine type) beacons can no longer be manufactured or sold in the U.S. By 2005 certain categories of aircraft, depending on circumstances and use, have been required to carry a 406 MHz Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT). And as of January 1st, 2007, it is illegal to carry or use a 121.5 MHz EPIRB aboard any vessel in American waters. Please note: 121.5 MHz Man Overboard Devices will still be legal for use beyond 2009. 406 MHz Each 406 MHz beacon is phase modulated with a digital signal which has a unique ID encoded within its signal. As long as the beacon ID has been registered with NOAA (which is required by law), RCCs can quickly confirm that the distress is real. 243.0 MHz Military Air Distress (MAD) VHF-FM Channel 13 (156.650 MHz) - Intership navigation (bridge-to-bridge) VHF-FM Channel 70 (156.525 MHz) - Digital Selective Calling VHF-FM Channel 16 (156.800 MHz) or 2182 kHz (HF-AM) - Distress, safety and calling. Boaters should normally use channels listed as Non-Commercial. Channel 16 is used for calling other stations or for distress alerting. Channel 13 should be used to contact a ship when there is danger of collision. All ships of length 20m or greater are required to guard VHF channel 13, in addition to VHF channel 16, when operating within U.S. territorial waters. Users may be fined by the FCC for improper use of these channels.

Please refer to the website www.imo.org for up-to-date information. March 1999 Shipping Emergencies - Search and Rescue and the GMDSS When maritime nations gathered together in 1914 to develop the first international shipping safety convention, following the loss of the Titanic two years earlier, the focus was not just on preventing shipping accidents but also improving the chances of survival if one should occur. That conference resulted in the adoption of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS),which included regulations on provision of life- saving equipment and the safety of navigation. SOLAS, which has since been revised and updated many times, later came under the auspices of theUnited Nations International Maritime Organization (IMO), which assumed global responsibility for shipping when it came into being in 1959. While accident prevention is a major goal of the Organization, IMO has also concentrated efforts on developing world-wide, integrated systems to respond to shipping emergencies. The most significant of these are the International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) and the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). The GMDSS - which became fully effective from 1 February 1999 - is essentially a worldwide network of automated emergency communications for ships at sea.
