🔍 Key Concepts

• Helicopter ditching procedures and risk of being trapped inside • Effect of an inflated life jacket in a confined space or when trying to escape a door/window • General rule for when to inflate a life jacket around aircraft and submerged exits

💭 Think About

• How would an already-inflated life jacket affect your ability to move through a narrow door or window of a sinking helicopter? • What could happen if the cabin fills with water while your life jacket is inflated and you are still inside? • In what phase of the emergency (inside vs. outside the aircraft) is buoyancy helpful instead of hazardous?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify when an inflated life jacket might block your escape path from the helicopter. • Consider at which point you might become trapped against the cabin roof by buoyancy if you inflate too early. • Confirm the safest moment when you are clear of obstructions and entanglement hazards before relying on the jacket for flotation.
