Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in an aircrew survival course. I have been considering putting together a course for a couple of years now. My idea is a ground school followed by a pactical component on a weekend trip to get hands on experience in a simulated survival situation. I'm get trying to gather some info at this point see if there is a general interest. If you would be intereted what would you want the course to look like? How many hours of ground school? How many days in the field? Any special topic you would want to see covered? Where would you like to ee the course take place? What kind of environment/season do you spend most of your time flying? How much would you be willing to pay? If you do reply to this could you please tell me you flying experience (career vs reacrational and rough hours/years)

Thanks in advance for any info, thought, insight.

Where are you based?

Well, if I were to pick a good place for survival training, I'd probably pick the tundra or the Canadian Shield (winter or summer). Places north or east Yellowknife would work well for such training. Costs would depend on whether survival gear would be included in the price. Food would no doubt have to be included since a survival situation would require people to share equally. Such a course should only require about 4-6 hours of ground school, and one week in the bush would be sufficient enough time for everyone to learn the required skills. Building appropriate shelters, finding food, and making markings visible to aircraft flying overhead would be good exercises. My 2 cents.
