One common question that we receive is what type of survival equipment should be carried aboard an aircraft and where to get it. Members will find a couple of articles on Over-Water Flying and Survival Strategies in the Aeronautical Section of the member website.

Another excellent source of information is Aviation Survival Technologies in Mobile, AL. Owned and operated by Randy Boone, a retired US Coast Guard Chief, AST has many products designed for the general aviation pilot. In addition, Randy has countless hours of experience flying in US Coast Guard aircraft looking for downed airmen. His experience and knowledge are extremeley valuable in determining the ideal survival equipment to carry aboard for specific missions.
