Survival Systems USA, a company that provides simulated ditching and underwater escape training to military and commercial pilots, crew and passengers, is at Heli-Expo booth No. 2639 displaying video programs and equipment specifically for helicopter operations.

The Groton, Conn. firm specializes in overwater survival,  immediate-reaction training and aircraft-specific escape procedures. Its Modular Egress Training Simulator (METS), a fifth-generation Dilbert Dunker, can be configured for dozens of different aircraft and internal layouts including medevac and fixed-wing, said business development director Chad Copeland. He noted that many rotorcraft, even without specific overwater missions, spend considerable flight time over water and, without power-off glide range, are more subject to ditching than fixed-wing aircraft.
