Study Notes
Survival, Search, and Rescue
- Corendon Airlines provides guidelines for survival, search and rescue procedures.
Table of Contents
- Chapter 7 covers survival, search, and rescue.
- Subsections include basic principles, polar survival, desert survival, jungle survival, rescue, special considerations (hot/cold weather), and first aid/hygiene.
Basic Principles of Survival
- Daily life preparation for difficult situations equips us to survive unfamiliar environments.
- Realization: awareness of potential danger, problem escalation, life-saving actions for oneself and others.
- Knowing what will help: recognizing helpful resources (experts, provisions, shelter, local assistance)
- Knowing what will harm: awareness of environmental dangers (extreme temperatures, animals, hostile locals), and challenging circumstances.
- Leadership/planning: the importance of clear leadership roles and action plans.
Signalling
- Essential equipment (ELT, flashlights) and methods for communication (light, fire signals) to aid in rescue.
- Emergency location beacons are crucial.
- Use any visible elements to increase visibility.
Survival at Sea
- Aircraft emergency slides can be used as flotation devices.
- Passengers should be distributed evenly on the slides.
- Ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers (elderly, children).
- The "help" or "huddle" position is crucial for those unable to hold onto the slide.
Survival on Land
- Accurate environmental assessment is crucial; assess immediate dangers and resources (water, food).
- Proper shelter creation using available materials (debris, wood, leaves, rocks) is key.
- Water conservation is a high priority (drinking flowing water, not sea water).
Polar Survival
- The main threat is the cold climate, so the need to stay warm, utilize snow for shelter and water.
- Importance of maintaining group cohesion to conserve body heat.
Desert Survival
- The primary danger is extremely high temperatures and limited water.
- Crucial to stay in shaded areas, limit activity, and gather water (dew collection).
Jungle Survival
- The dangers could be extreme heat, vegetation, and animals.
- Use existing resources, and prioritize the use of water and shelter. Following streams/rivers is a good tactic.
Rescue
- Planning for rescue operations is essential, establishing roles, and using the appropriate methods for emergency contact.
Special Considerations (Hot/Cold Weather)
- Heat: Protection from direct sunlight is vital; recognize symptoms of heat-related illnesses.
- Cold: Protection from cold is paramount. Prevent hypothermia and ensure body warmth.
First Aid and Hygiene
- Personal hygiene is crucial in survival scenarios.
- First aid procedures for injuries, ensuring the prevention of infections and diseases, are important for group safety.
Formulating a Plan of Action
- Priorities such as assisting injured persons, setting up temporary shelters, activation of signalling devices are important actions to take initially.
- Later actions may include collecting materials for shelter, food provisions, and communication.
