Navigating to safety: Pilots learn what to do in emergency water landings using new Embry-Riddle simulator

The Shallow Water Egress Trainer is shown in a photo illustration as it would look in the pool at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. ERAU’s Robertson Safety Institute soon will offer a course in aircraft ditching and survival with this simulator.
A lot of pilots have never learned how to ditch their aircraft in water. Especially in Arizona, the "lesson" on that topic is usually a couple of paragraphs in a textbook and a checklist, and that lack of practical knowledge can be deadly.
That's the kind of problem the new Robertson Safety Institute at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is out to solve.
