Overview
Emergency Breathing Systems (EBS) is designed to provide aircrew working in Canada or internationally with a basic understanding of the procedures, operation and potential hazards associated with the use of an Emergency Breathing System used to enhance aircrew survivability in a ditching event. Aircrew, passenger as well airframe specific safety and survival equipment are reviewed as well as EBS procedures for preparing to ditch, and underwater egress exercises using the Underwater Egress Trainer.
