CASARA TRAINING

Last Update: October 2006 Events Calendar

BASIC AIRCREW TRAINING The following syllabus is a guide used for the certification of CASARA aircrew.  Each province/territory is responsible for the addition of training items specific to their individual requirements. Please NOTE:  These Guidelines are subject to change!  Watch for a clarification on Certification Requirements.  I will post the revisision ASAP ! CAUTION : The Requirements below are now obsolete A certification flight(s) is/are required for each aircrew position.  The flights are  approximately one (1) hour or more in duration and are in addition to all the other flight training.  Certification flights should normally be flown with a full crew and should be part of a zone training exercise (SAREX) that includes a Search Coordinator.  When possible, certified senior training staff should be part of the crew.
