'Each flight crew member shall complete recurrent training and checking on the location and use of all emergency and safety equipment carried on board the aircraft. The validity period of an emergency and safety equipment training and checking shall be 12 calendar months.'
The Tripl3 Sierra OG presents another training course: ESET. ESET is an abbreviation and stands for Emergency Safety and Equipment Training and is basically divided into two categories: ESET Initial and ESET Recurrent. A crew member (whether pilot or flight attendant) must be trained on the aircraft assigned to them and on the corresponding equipment.
Every aircraft type has differently designed doors and door types (entrance door, emergency exit, etc.) that are operated differently. Every airline, every operator, uses different fire extinguishers, life jackets, smoke hoods (PBE - Protective Breathing Equipment), and much more. Crew members must be trained for this. In an emergency, everyone must be able to use a fire extinguisher in a smoke-filled cabin - blind! This is the only way to save lives in an emergency.
Did you know that every aircraft must be able to be evacuated in less than 90 seconds in order to be approved? In these tests, a representative sample of different age groups is selected, then half of the emergency exits are blocked and the aircraft must be evacuated in the dark. 853 passengers from an A380.
Every move has to be perfect.
Do I know the right commands? Am I shouting loudly enough? Where is my equipment in an emergency and can I put it on/put it on/operate it quickly enough?
The legislator, the EASA, European Union Aviation Safety Agency, describes the European laws very well in its Easy Access Rules (see above) and provides for an annual recurrent (every twelve months), with more specific training taking place in a three-year cycle. Every three years, for example, you have to put out a real fire in a specially prepared "container" and experience the "effects of smoke in an enclosed space."
Tripl3 Sierra OG has specialized in precisely these types of training, knows the legal requirements and has a lot of equipment on hand to be able to hold fleet-specific training. Of course, individual modules from different training courses can also be booked and combined with one another, just as the customer needs them.
At Vienna Airport, the fire container is rented for firefighting so that a 'real' fire can be put out. Here you have to feel your way through thick smoke and find a burning laptop in an overhead bin. Or in a small compartment. Or the toilet.
The number of devices that have batteries built into them will not decrease in the future. And neither will the regulations. The right training not only saves you from discussions with the authorities, but also saves lives in an emergency.
