Navigator's Edge Maritime Academy
The Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET) course is a highly specialized safety program designed for individuals who frequently travel by helicopter over water, particularly in offshore and remote environments.This training prepares participants to survive and safely escape from a helicopter in the event of an emergency water landing or crash. Helicopter travel, though essential for many industries such as oil and gas, maritime, and offshore wind energy, comes with inherent risks, particularly during overwater operations.
Emergencies such as engine failure, adverse weather, or mechanical malfunctions may lead to ditching (controlled water landings) or crashes, necessitating quick thinking and immediate action.The HUET course combines theoretical knowledge with rigorous practical simulations to ensure that participants are physically and mentally prepared to handle such emergencies. It provides life-saving techniques and builds confidence to navigate underwater escape scenarios and post-escape survival challenges.The HUET Course is a vital safety measure for individuals working in industries where helicopter transportation over water is commonplace. The HUET Course is meticulously designed to address both theoretical and practical aspects of helicopter emergencies.
