Emergency Procedures For VIP Attendants
FACTS Training, a
division of AirCare Solutions Group, recently announced the award
of two major contracts from the United States Air Force (USAF)
training VIP Flight Attendants in the proper execution of emergency
and safety procedures. The long-term agreements with the USAF are a
result of first time bids by FACTS Training for these highly
contested awards.
Flight Attendants from all major USAF bases are expected to
participate in the customized FACTS Training programs. Each will
include a combination of classroom instruction and hands on
exercises using FACTS innovative training devices.
The USAF Gulfstream training (C-20B, C-20H, C-37A) will be
conducted at the FACTS Northeast Training Center located within the
CAE/SimuFlite Training facilities in Morristown, New Jersey. This
training venue includes FACTS VII, the latest full motion, cockpit
and cabin emergency procedures simulator.
The newly opened FACTS West Coast Training Center, located at
Long Beach Airport, is scheduled to provide ongoing USAF Boeing
Business Jet (C-40B/C) training. With over 12,000 square feet of
hangar/training area and 6,000 square feet of new classroom/office
space, the Long Beach center is a world class training venue
offering expansion room to meet the growing demand for FACTS
training programs.
FACTS Training International has provided Crewmember Emergency
Procedures Training since 1981. The company offers a human
factors-based program designed to train pilots, flight
engineers/mechanics, and corporate flight attendants in aircraft
emergency evacuation and inflight safety procedures. All are
practiced and simulated in the FACTS full-size, full motion cockpit
and cabin emergency procedures simulator, the pool and the FACTS
Underwater Egress Dunker.
