    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.
