On-Site Hypoxia Awareness Training Experience High Altitude Decompression at your Facility The FACTS® Hypoxia Awareness Training is a fast-paced program, conducted at the client's hangar, specifically designed to provide a safe means for crewmembers to personally experience the signs, symptoms, and effects of high altitude hypoxia. The program, including classroom discussion and hands-on experience with the FACTS ROBD™ (Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device), provides pilots, flight techs, flight attendants and frequent flyers the opportunity to experience a "decompression" without the potentially harmful side-effects of a decompression chamber.** This program can be offered twice in a day to accommodate busy flight department schedules. Each crewmember receives a workbook and a High Altitude Hypoxia Awareness Training certificate upon successfully completing the program. FACTS Hypoxia Awareness Training curriculum includes: Accident/Incident review Atmosphere & Composition (Temperature • Pressures • Altitude Zones) Physiology / Oxygen Saturation / Effects of Altitude Stress Hypoxia and Human Factors Aircraft Pressurization Decompression / TUF / TUC / EPT Gas and Decompression Sickness Oxygen Equipment Crew Duties / Commands Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device* Cognitive Testing Symptom Recognition Ozone & Radiation * Using the FACTS ROBD™, each participant experiences the effects of an artificial decompression approaching 30,000 MSL. This exercise provides the crewmember with a heightened awareness of their own signs and symptoms of hypoxia without the potential risks of a decompression chamber.** "Most of the pilots surveyed agreed that all pilots should receive introductory hypoxia training (92%), recurrent hypoxia training (86%), initial ACT (85%), and recurrent ACT (70%)."
