    Description
    This course is designed to develop fundamental skills in combating aircraft fires by providing the students with a recurrent training in live-fire with an aircraft mock-up using enough fuel to provide a fire that simulates a realistic condition. The course shall provide an opportunity for the firefighting team to be familiarize with the use of all fire extinguishing equipment, enhance their confidence and abilities with the equipment they will use in an actual accident/incident, and develop tactics, strategies, and procedures. If possible, a simulated rescue of aircraft occupants will help create a realistic simulation.
