Last paper in course

Last Friday the final unit standards for the Level 2
Certificate in Emergency Management being conducted by EMANZ for the Manawatu-Wanganui CDEM Group took part. The last paper was on aircraft safety and the team spent time in the classroom followed by practical lessons provided by the staff of the Square Trust Rescue Helicopter.

Some of the team hadn't had the opportunity to participate in aircraft safety training or go for a helicopter flight. This was good practical experience for some of the team that might be called on to do aerial reconnaissance, extreme event data collection, or welfare support flights.
