HUET Helicopter Training

A Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET) teaches the crew how to survive an helicopter ditching on to water





HUET Helicopter Training
ERGT Australia, October 12, 2017 - A Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET) is a course that prepares personnel with the knowledge and skill to safely disembark from a helicopter that has made an emergency landing or ditched on to water.

A HUET course combines practical exercises with learning about such topics as; helicopter safety, emergency procedures, underwater escape techniques and sea survival. The practical elements are conducted in a pool utilising a specially designed HUET module and life raft. The HUET module represents the cabin of a helicopter and has the ability to rotate at least 180 degrees while being submerged in water to simulate a helicopter ditching resulting in capsize. While in the module participants put into practice such skills as brace positions, escape plans and the operation of emergency exits.

If you travel regularly by helicopter over water for your work in Australia you may be required to complete a HUET course. These courses are designed for specific environments, situations, industries and job roles; these are described for each course below.

OPITO ( Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organization ) is an international not for profit Oil & Gas industry owned organisation.

There are different “HUET” courses delivered by ERGT which have been designed by industry and regulators for different roles and industries. These courses are:

- Undertake Helicopter Safety & Escape: This course is designed for personnel travelling regularly by helicopter to any of the following installations or facilities; offshore rig/installation, floating facility, or support vessel.
