DEVICE 9E8E - Underwater Egress Trainer Single Place

DV 9E8E was devised to assist in teaching aircrew members, under controlled conditions, the proper procedures to be followed to escape from the cockpit of a water ditched and inverted aircraft. It 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 ability to respond automatically to an emergency situation.
