Survival Systems is pleased to provide you with this illustrative guide that provides an overview of our highly reliable, cost effective, and performance oriented underwater escape trainer -the Modular Egress Training Simulator (METSTM) -an all encompassing solution to the challenge of effectively training aircrew.
Given that one (1) ditching occurs every 100,000 hours, aircrew flying over water could one day be faced with a life-threatening situation of having to egress from a ditched and / or submerged helicopter.

The METS™ is a proven, state-of-the-art training system that has been used to provide emergency egress training to commercial and military personnel around the world for more than 20 years.

The METS™ provides a high degree of realism and flexibility through the use of moveable and interchangeable interior and exterior panels, bulkheads, seats, emergency egress exits, and exit release mechanisms.
These modular components closely simulate the specific characteristics of the most common types of helicopters used by flight crews.
The flexibility and ability to recreate realistic emergency conditions increases a trainee's likelihood of surviving a ditching and also enables the METS™ owner to attract a broader client base.

At Survival Systems, we have a team of highly qualified training personnel consisting of retired helicopter pilots and crews, world-renowned aerospace human factor specialists, and experienced engineers, technicians, and training instructors.
Our training programs incorporate a range of possible crash scenarios including inverted underwater egress.
These graduated training techniques are designed so that even trainees who do not have strong swimming skills can successfully complete our comprehensive training program.
