Huet and EBS training for Shanghai police pilots

TRAINING PROVIDED FOR SHANGHAI POLICE HELICOPTER PILOTS AT INERCO FORESPRO’S FACILITIES IN SEVILLE

Members of the Shanghai city police force have received specialised training at INERCO Forespro’s facilities in Seville. Members of the Chinese force’s elite helicopter unit took part in aircraft safety and emergency training courses, specifically the Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET) and EBS modules, which include a specific theory section and a practical part carried out in a pool, with the training centre’s homologated recreations of helicopters.

INERCO is a leading provider of safety and emergency training for elite agencies and security forces in Spain, Mexico, Ecuador and Colombia, among other countries. The company’s homologated training centre, based in Seville, is equipped with simulators for training professionals in a range of disciplines and offers unique training opportunities for private companies, the armed forces, other authorities and individuals.

Thanks to the agreement between INERCO and the Integrated Firefighting Training System (Seilaf, for its Spanish abbreviation) platform, the training provided to the Shanghai police constitutes an expansion of knowledge about maritime emergencies and survival, increasing the chances of survival following a collision or water landing. The students also took training modules on openings, evacuation and cockpit fires, as well as specific first aid and fire fighting courses for helicopter crews, all of which were provided by INERCO Forespro instructors and staff.

INERCO will also be responsible for training and certifying new helicopter pilots for Shanghai Police; the pilots are to be transferred to Seville in the near future to take various basic and specialised training modules for their day-to-day work.
