HIGH ALTITUDE AWARENESS TRAINING


Business aircraft are certified to fly at altitudes of over 50,000ft AMSL. The dangers of high altitude operations demand a working knowledge of physiology and the effects of exposure to high altitude flight. A depressurization along with the recognition of the onset of hypoxia, should be a concern for all crew.


What you need to know: • How aircraft pressurization works • The makeup of Earth’s atmosphere • Partial pressure/atmospheric zones • Respiration & circulation


• How to recognize the types, effects and symptoms of hypoxia


• EPT/TUC


• Crewmember procedures in a decompression


• Hyperventilation, blocks and DCS
