The One Day course
We realize that not everybody can attend a full fly out weekend. With this one day course, we've packaged together the absolute best of the survival training we've been providing on our Mountain Flying Adventure and our San Juan Adventure. Spend a day with us. You'll attend morning lectures, enjoy a great lunch, and get an afternoon full of workshops.
Morning Lectures
Classroom
0900 - 1200 Interactive lectures on critical flight considerations, flight planning, rescue communication technology. As a part of this course you'll receive a TFP survival kit. We'll spend some of the morning going through that kit so that fully understand what's in there before we head out to the workshops.
Lunch Provided
Picnic Lunch
1200 - 1300 Take a break and enjoy a deli sandwich or something off the grill. Our picnic will take place on the shore of the Bay looking toward San Francisco and the Golden Gate bridge. This is a great chance to sit and discuss some of the morning talks.
Afternoon Workshops
Life Raft Deployment, Signal Mirrors, and Fire Starting
1200 - 1745 In the afternoon, head outdoors for a full afternoon of workshops. This is where the real fun starts! We will focus on fire starting, signal mirrors and the life raft deployment. You will have a chance to get in the protected water just outside the Berkeley harbor and experience what it might be like to deploy, retrieve and enter an actual life raft. We use the best life rafts available and are fortunate to have rafts provided by Winslow. If you plan on jumping in, bring a bathing suit and a towel. There are showers available.
- You know you should pack a survival kit, but do you know what take? What works and what doesn’t? We'll cover that.
- You fly with an ELT, but do you know what other rescue technology could offer you additional safety and security in the event of a forced landing? We'll cover that too.
- You think you could build a fire, but would you know how in a cold, windy, damp environment, as night is falling? For sure? We guarantee it. After this class you'll be able to start a fire in the rain.
- You know cold can kill, but do you know what you can do to improve your chances for surviving cold water immersion? We'll tell you.
