First Aid for Aviators | CPR & AED

Life has its challenges. Sometimes we get hurt, don't feel well or to make matters worse, we encounter a medical emergency. What's considered a 'bu-bu' on the ground can quickly develop into a serious situation once airborne.

Additionally an aircraft provides limited resources and space for this kind of situation. But what can an aviator do to contain an inflight crisis. The knowledge of this course can also be applied to your 'earthly' life as a car driver, hiker ...
