Course Title HUET with CA EBS Helicopter Underwater Escape Trainer (with CA-EBS) Course Ref. 20.007 – (OPITO course code: 5295) Target Group: This target group is personnel travelling to and from oil and gas installations/facilities via helicopter Location: ISTC (Malta) Pre-requisites: No pre-requisites are required Course Duration: One Day – (6 hours & 10 minutes) Participants: Maximum class size – 16 delegates Certification: On successful achievement of the course, a certificate will be issued by ISTC as per OPITO guidelines and each module will be registered with the OPITO Central Register (CR) Validity: 4 years minus one day Refreshment: The maximum interval between successful completion of HUET (with CA-EBS) training and subsequent completion of a ‘Further HUET (with CA-EBS) Training’ is 4 years. Medical & Health Requirements: Training and/or assessment activities contained within this course may include physically demanding and potentially stressful elements. All personnel who participate in such activities must be physically and mentally capable of participating fully. Therefore OPITO approved training centres are required, as a minimum, to ensure that prior to participating practical exercises, the delegate must either: a) Possess a valid, current offshore medical certificate, or b) Possess an operator approved medical certificate, or c) Undergo medical screening by completing an appropriate medical screening form provided by the OPITO approved centre. MODULE 1 –Learning Outcomes Helicopter Safety and Escape To successfully complete this training, delegates must be able to demonstrate: (1) Donning of an aviation transit suit, an aviation lifejacket, compressed air emergency breathing system (CA-EBS) equipment and conducting integrity checks of the CA-EBS equipment, including buddy checks (2) Deploying (left and right hand) and breathing from CA-EBS equipment at atmospheric pressure in dry conditions (3) Actions to take in preparing for a helicopter emergency landing (4) Following instruction from the crew, location of CA-EBS equipment and evacuation from a helicopter using a nominated exit, following a controlled emergency descent to a dry landing (conducted in helicopter simulator at poolside on dry land) (5) Actions to be taken in preparing for an in-water ditching including location of exit, deploying and breathing from CA-EBS equipment at atmospheric pressure in dry conditions (conducted in helicopter simulator at poolside on dry land) (6) Dry evacuation, using a nominated exit, to an aviation life raft from a helicopter ditched on water (and, on instructions from the aircrew, operation of a push out window), assisting others where possible and carrying out initial actions on boarding the aviation life raft, to include: mooring lines, deploying the sea anchor, raising the canopy and raft maintenance* (7) Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a partially submerged helicopter (without operation of a push out window)* (8) Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a partially submerged helicopter (with operation of a push out window)* (9) Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a capsized helicopter (without operation of a push out window)* (10) Inflation of an aviation lifejacket, deployment of a spray visor and boarding of an aviation life raft from the water* *Note: CA-EBS equipment must not be worn during Learning Outcomes 6 thru 10. Delegate Performance Assessment: Delegates will be assessed against the learning outcomes specified in the standard using direct observation. Additional Module 2 Learning Outcomes (specific to Element 2.5) Note 1: Delegates must complete Element 1.5 unless they are unable to meet the additional medical requirements stated in Section C.3, items d), e) and f). Delegates must not participate in the practical exercises contained in Element 1.5 if they are unable to meet the additional medical requirements stated in Section C3, items d), e) and f). Note 2: Delegates who provide a statement at stage f) declaring they are unfit to train on the day of the scheduled training will be required to return to the training centre at a later date to complete Element 1.5 before a certificate can be issued (provided all other course learning outcomes have been met) . Training Centres must retain records of delegates who are unable to participate in these exercises. To successfully complete this training, delegates must be able to demonstrate: (11) Deploying CA-EBS (above the water surface) and breathing from the CA-EBS in a pool, face down in shallow water (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest) (12) Deploying CA-EBS (below the water surface, face down in a pool in shallow water) and clearing the mouthpiece by exhaling under the water surface (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest) (13) Deploying CA-EBS (below the water surface, face down in a pool in shallow water, using opposite hand to previous exercise) and clearing with purge button under the water surface (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest) (14) Deploying CA-EBS (above water surface), in a pool and breathing from CA-EBS underwater in a vertical position (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest) (15) Deploying CA-EBS (underwater), in a pool and breathing from CA-EBS underwater in a vertical position (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest) (16) Deploying CA-EBS (underwater), in a pool, breathing from CA-EBS underwater, and moving along a horizontal rail for a period of no less than 30 seconds, including a change in direction (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest) Note 3: Training Staff must directly supervise delegates during any underwater ascent using CA-EBS equipment to ensure that the delegate exhales during the ascent. Delegate Performance Assessment: Delegates will be assessed against the learning outcomes specified in the standard using direct observation.
