Hypobaric Training for Royal Air Force Aircrew - Un Update
Abstract
This paper states the training requirement, describes the hypobaric chambers, highlights aspects of safety and outlines the hypobaric training profiles and details the results so far. Hypobaric chambers provide a safe environment in which aircrew may be exposed to hypoxia, pressure changes and rapid decompressions. This provides aircrew with practical experience and engenders confidence in their equipment. Appropriate supporting facilities and fully trained staff are prerequisites. With careful planning and well-motivated staff, new units can be quickly created where staff have the necessary skills to provide hypobaric training for aircrew in as safe an environment as possible.
