DEVICE 9E8C - Single Place Underwater Egress Trainer

DV 9E8C provides Naval flying personnel with a realistic water collision training device. The trainer permits the student to gain experience in the proper aircraft egress (exit) procedures. These techniques are necessary for the student to achieve self control, rapidly evaluate and respond to changes in his environment, and overcome natural fear and panic to water submersion. The trainer also provides the student with an opportunity to develop confidence in his/her ability to respond automatically to an emergency situation, hands-on experience in manual release of restraints and canopy release mechanisms identical to those used in the T-34C.
