Aircraft Specific Survey and Equipment Training (ASSET™)

The FACTS® ASSET™ training program is an 8-hour, aircraft-specific aircrew emergency training program designed for team-training of pilots, flight engineers and flight attendants. The program, including classroom discussion and hands-on practice with emergency equipment and evacuation procedures, can be used in conjunction with other FACTS Training courses to meet the requirements. Typically, instruction begins at 0800 and ends at 1700. Each crewmember receives a personal workbook and a certificate of participation upon successfully completing the program.

ASSET training programs allow for program customization to meet operation-specific needs in a simple one-day format.

In addition to the Aircraft Specific Survey and Equipment Training with the aircraft, the flight department has a choice of three additional FACTS subjects:

Human Factors / Crew decision-making / Judgement
Emergency Response Planning
InFlight Fire and Smoke Procedures
Hazardous Materials Dangerous Goods Awareness
Hangar Safety
High Altitude Physiology and Decompression Procedures
Personal and Corporate/Flight Department Security
InFlight Emergency Medical and Defibrillator Training
Emergency Egress Training (Land and Water)
Water Survival Training (pool required)
